Does anybody have an idea if Groot will fit in a detolf? He's 15.35 inches tall. How big is a shelf?

The size of the shelf won't matter if you're considering if Groot's height will fit.

Shelf is about 15 inches. Guess we'll have to try this pose to make him fit

That's a really cool pose though. It does suck for people wanting to have rocket on his shoulder in a detolf. No way that can happen without some serious bending.

That's what I'm asking lol.

That's what I would like to do with him. I plan on getting the Rocket & Groot set and pose them like the promo photos.

4 U-bolts

Don't know why these aren't attaching, but here's a few pics. Costs about $2 and takes 5 minutes.

I'm thinking this team might deserve it's own case. Something that will fit Groot and Rocket. Of course, I'm only thinking that because these haven't been released yet and I haven't seen the price tag of whatever cases actually fit the bill.

I would do this.

you could bend Groot over a lot more if you need him to fit.

Anyone else think that Rocket's jumpsuit should be a different material? After seeing the movie again it seems to me to be more of a leather like material or at least a smoother fabric.

I used that little bolt clamp "hack" for the hulk, before I sold him.
Works well.

Anyone know any good Hong Kong sites where I can order this from that gets their figures before the US does? As long as the place accepts paypal I should be good. Animarket stopped their pre orders

After seeing the movie, this set has moved much higher on my "must have" list.
Hopefully it'll stick around long enough to be coupon eligible before selling out.

I like it. Looks cooler than the blue at the end of the movie.

The set should come with a ...

Spoiler

...little Groot from the end sequence.

That would be a good exclusive for one of the figures to come with. Maybe Drax as was mentioned.
