So I broke my first Hot Toys peg yesterday
I busted Rocket's tail off by trying to bend it without first confirming which direction the peg was facing. Thankfully the tail is just held on by a standard peg and Hot Toys graciously included a spare in the box, so after fishing out the broken halves with some tweezers, the crisis was averted.

Thank you! Really my photography is nothing more than an excuse to explore all of the possibilities these figures have to offer. Helps me to get further enjoyment and value out of them when they otherwise might just get unboxed and stuck on the shelf.
I’m so glad your “tail issue” was easily remedied. As I recall the tail on this Endgame version seemed to move differently than my GOTG 2 version did. I can’t remember specifically why by I do know I found the functionality of the EG Rocket to be superior to that of the GOTG vol 2.
I see what you mean about photographing the figures. I started doing that a while ago when I decided to store mine in the attic until my basement remodel is done. The pandemic has slowed down progress on a project that could have been done months ago. But I hope that the remodel will be able to commence and be finished by mid summer. In the meantime I will keep taking pictures then boxing them back up. I just wish that I could take pictures as well as you and some of the others on this forum do. You guys use posing and lighting so well that you are able to capture the essence of the characters these figures represent.
