That's a big, big list.

My list is maybe a quarter of that at best, and even so, I cancelled all of my Sideshow Premium Format statue buying plans to be able to afford it. I had to actually get out of statue collecting completely in order to afford my Hot Toys collecting. But actually it's a relief--ordering statues always scared me to death because there are so many opportunities for breakage before they even reach me. With 1/6 figures, not so much.

I actually prefer the non-screaming head--Groot just strikes me as a sort of big mellow tree, with Rocket being his fidgety trigger-happy raccoon pal. Knowing very little about the characters, I might be completely wrong, but I just really dig Serene Groot.

I would love to be able to order the set from Sideshow and get points, but I can't risk the NRD if I decide I don't love the movie.

That was what was holding me back from ordering too but the trailers look great and I have faith in Marvel studios. Needless to say I caved and ordered :) worse case scenario it becomes a $36 lesson

I noticed as well that it not longer says exclusive . Nor do any of the Toy Fair Exclusives . I am happy I ordered the two pack . I probably will not use the screaming sculpt my self but it is a nice option .

Sideshow's site doesn't say it is an exclusive anymore so I guess that good for everyone that wants to order from BBTS. I am very happy I ordered the set :) not sure I'll ever use the screaming sculpt but it'll be nice to have the option!

For some reason I became captivated with Groot and Rocket as soon as I saw that teaser clip of them fighting together, months ago. Love that screaming sculpt, though I could see using mellow Groot, also (the head cocked to the side does look cool). But really it's the screaming Groot image that is burned in my imagination now. If there is a 'screaming Rocket' head sculpt released later on, I will try my best to get it off e.Bay ASAP.

I bought WM MK II because I love the design and I have yet to see IM3 (I know technically it wasn't in the movie, but I hope you take my point!). Even if I hate GotG (or don't see it at all, haha), this particular set is fantastic. Maybe because I didn't buy any of the Avengers figures, I don't feel at all completest about this line. I won't be getting the other three (visually I don't find them anything extraordinary) and really feel Groot and Rocket will stand very well on their own.

The trailers alone are selling the figures for me as well. And I agree that the uniqueness of this line alone is enough to entice me. Good post and points :hi5:

The Groot head and hands are not SSC exclusives. AFX now carries the 2-pack and their description includes the extras.

Found a better comparison for the proportions!

God I cannot wait to see this movie and to see the remaining three Guardians. The trailers alone make me want the whole team and with Groot and Rocket looking so good, I have high hopes.

Hot version looks a bit chunky.
