Couple of quick iPhone snaps:

To fit Yondu comfortably, I'll have to reposition Gamora's sword to where she's holding/facing it to her left across her body to enable her to scoot over a bit, and then move Drax slightly foward or backward.

Based on the poses I currently have the others in, I'm thinking a pose for Yondu where he's slightly opening his coat, ready to retreive his arrow, would blend well.

Nice!

Another way to describe it is swapping from the worst figure of the year to the best figure of the year ! In all seriousness.

i jumped on the WL. Not sure if I will stick with it, but that might be out of my hands at this point, if the production run is more limited than other recent figs and/or the demand is great enough...

Nice set-up, SS. I dig the first Gamora head sculpt more than the second, but with V2 you don't have to deal with the arms ripping presumably. Not sure which Rocket I like better. Great set-up either way, looks like you have a nice shelf to give them enough space to all hang together. In a detolf they'd probably look like they were at a rock concert together.

The characters are so colorful -- red Star-Lord, green Gamora, purple Yondu -- that Rocket gets lost with just brown and blue. The orange makes him pop -- which he needs since he's so tiny.

I think the original Gamora has a sexier presence on the shelf but the new Gamora is probably a better outfit for her (rock-and-roll). Personally, I'm chasing down an original.

I'd also go for giant original Groot and orange-suit Rocket, as stated.

Star-Lord... as much as I prefer the rocket boots and the first film, I really do think the new Star-Lord is one of HT's best figures to date and I would like to get him one day.

Purple Yondu?

Purple Yondu?

His clothing. Star-Lord isn't red either.

What?! Really?!?!

Seriously though, I thought his outfit was red. Didn’t realize there was purple in it.

Well there's red and blue -- which makes purple -- but there's also just lots of purple (Vol 2 we're talking here)

Thanks, TonTon!

I’ve heard that issue with Gamora, but mine hasn’t shown signs of that last time I checked. Then again, I haven’t really articulated her arms much and pretty much just left them at her sides, so that could be a factor.

Agreed on all points. I think the V2 SL sculpt is better than the first, but I like his V1 outfit better overall.

Yeah, why take the risk. That’s what I’d do.

I get liking the v1 outfit as it looked good in the movie, the actual figure looks kinda cheap. Just kinda plain looking red pleather. I think the v2 outfit looks better figure wise. More intricate and more busy with all the bits and details on it.

Quick shot with my current setup. Will move things around when Yondu arrives.

Good setup there.

I like it. See how colorful.

Re: 1/6 Hot Toys – MMS - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Yondu Collectible Figure

Gamora only stands out though cuz of her green arms. The new one with her red hair will stand out more color wise.

Awesome set up.

Yeah, why take the risk. That’s what I’d do.

I do that for all figures with rubber seamless arms anyway to try and prevent cracking or creasing at the joints.

I was of the exact same opinion. Last year I started looking for the original Groot. Managed to find the double pack with Rocket. Also really like the orange suit. Reminds me of the jail sequence in the original film which was pretty cool. Then Starlord Vol2 came out and was a huge improvement. Original Gamora was also going cheap early last year too. Just waiting on Drax. Plan is to see if they do anything for his body or not for IW, IW2 or GotG3. If not I'll try to pick up an original.

When i look back the first movie was so cool. I also liked the second movie. Then in IW they also went up a notch. So a must set for me now.

I wonder if they'll go back to the original size Groot for GotG 3 ? There is also a very good knockoff version of the original Groot out there pretty cheap.
