1/6 Hot Toys -- Guardians of the Galaxy - Groot & Rocket

[InebriatedGnome]

I really like the look of these and Groot's angry face is a total must-have for me. If Rocket is underwhelming I might just sell him on. How do Groot's poseable hands feel? Curious about the durability of those wires.

Nice picture Iceman!

Yeah, between Groot and Rocket, I think Groot is the more stand out figure. I really like Rocket though as well, HT did a nice job on him.

Does anyone have any idea how to get him to lean like this? I can't get any element of him to lean like that. The neck doesnt rotate in that direction at all basically, and the body doesnt come even close to that level of rotation. Does anyone have any tips? You would forever have my gratitude.

Any help guys? I would be in your debt!

Have you tried moving the top part of the torso (it looks like pec muscles)? That part swivels and tilts, which is what lets you get that leaning pose. It doesn't tilt as much, but if you tilt and swivel the top (so it's facing its left), it gives the appearance of more of a lean. Does that help?

Mine is sort of like that

This set is really unique. Ingenious how groot's panels move to conceal the joints.

Love your rocket pose skizzoid!

If you're referring to the picture above, then full credit should go to svander since that's his collection rather than mine.

When I opened up my Rocket and Groot pack the other day, Groot's elbows were very hard to move. After putting some hot water over them, they moved a bit better, but yikes, I was a bit worried about thos arms snapping for a minute there.

Anyway, love this set and both the figures look amazing. Just got to pick up Gamora and eventually Drax to complete the team.

I was feeling a bit artistic and in the mood for taking photos so here's my GOTG collection. Notice the open space for a certain maniac...
It was taken with my camera phone which is terrible at focussing - hence the blurry Gamora face

Very nice, svander and Flintty!

Thanks everyone.

I was lucky that the Saturday Toys yellow jumpsuits were close enough for some of the characters. I modified and dyed some clothes and created / sewn others from scratch. I will eventually have a few versions of the Men in Black Boris jumpsuits. I made all the barcodes in Photoshop, but it was impossible for me to match the yellow background exactly.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

That looks great, T_D_P, repped!

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Awesome! Thanks so much.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

No problem, it's going great.

Of anything they do for giveaways this week, this set would be at the top of my list of most wanted.
