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

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 253 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Groot & Rocket

Oh that is a tough comparison. I honestly don't know which I'd pick...Falcon is really cool and unique with those wings but then again this is a raccoon and a tree...idk

no comparison... Rocket alone trumps Falcon...........both?

thats just my opinion though! ....I hope GOTG is better than TWS, and I gave TWS 10/10

Tough call, I would go with Falcon, if I had to make a straight choice between the two.. but its down to personal taste.. I suspect however Falcon will be like the Hawkeye v1...

True. Hmm.

Exactly!

I would say wait until you see the movie and then decide.

I wanted to but my local supplier's closing date for pre-orders is just 2 days before the movie releases.

I gave TWS 8/10 and I've heard GOTG is way better than that so if that's the case Tree and Raccoon boy are it for me. I was disappointed with falcon's cheap looking wings to be honest (yet I still PO'ed him).


Thanks for your insight guys and girl!

If you have faith that GotG will be better than TWS and you think Falcon's wings look cheap I'd say go for the 2 pack. Personally I think this line is going to be awesome and if you plan on getting Starlord, gamora or drax then these guys seem like a must and they will certainly look great and catch people's attention. I think we will see Falcon again from Hot Toys and I'm certain they will improve upon him. Ultimately its up to your preference

ALl about preference, but RR and Groot are just visually more appealing to me than Falcon. Would be and is my choice. Just go with whichever you like more.

The Hot Toys preview picture showed a tiny yellow prison jumpsuit for Rocket...guess it was scrapped...

More likely saved for another release.

I think a prison escape Rocket with the yellow jumpsuit, a new headsculpt and the gun that gets tossed to him is probably going to happen.

Of the 2 reference images for his face that were in the preview image with the yellow jumpsuit, 1 had the same expression as the first figure and the other one had the angrier look when he says "Oh....Yeahh!".

In an ideal world HT would have made the 2-pack Rocket the prison break version as Groot has the alternate rage face so it would be possible to recreate that scene where he's on Groot's shoulder blasting away in one hit.

But as we all know HT don't roll like that

My budgeting plans are taking into account at least one variant and that's without mentioning his 3rd outfit.

Yup! Thanks again. I'm going for the 2 pack. Will see falcon when he's released and may keep him or cancel depending on funds at that time. But the 2 pack def looks cooler on display!

That it does! Have to say, the more I look at these the happier I am that I decided to get the two pack. Just a great representation of Marvel comics, IMO.

So I noticed that Sideshow no longer has the 2-pack labeled as an exclusive. I had preordered the 2-pack from SSC on Friday. They haven't charged or put a hold of $36 on my credit card yet, so I cancelled the order. Do you guys know if SSC will still charge the NRD?

Last time that happened they said no NRD would be charged because I cancelled early enough (I think early next day). You should be fine.

Exactly why this is a must have!!

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 253 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Groot & Rocket

I want to get the two pack for Groots head and hands but I prefer Rockets team uniform and Hot Toys will likely do that version as well. Only want one Rocket so .

Well these will be around so I'll just wait for this to release and by then they'll all be up for order

probably a good idea, I still wonder if Hot Toys will actually make the other uniforms/outfits, its a long shot if you ask me, Hot Toys dont really do accessory packs

I'm guessing Groot won't fit in a Detolf.

There's a reason he tilts his head like in the lineup

My plan is to bend Groot like in the lineup so he fits in the shelf. Not too worried about that

I'm waiting until I see the film before ordering any of these guys. The figures look incredible, but I'm still on the fence about the movie. It's either going to be great or a total pile of monkey crap.

If I do get Rocket and Groot I might get a Master case for just them. I don't like adjusting shelves.
