I agree, but it's day 5 and I still haven't figured out how I want him to look... long jacket, short jacket, short jacket with aero vest, long sleeve w vest... F me! I've been watching every video and looking up every uploaded photo to find the best combo, so I don't have to agonize over the thought of breaking him while dressing and undressing him. I've also been putting off taking photos of V1 Star-Lord for ebay. As much as I want to sell him, I've never sold a hot toy on eBay and worry that my thoughts on condition aren't the same as the next collector. Probably just avoid a potential mess and keep him in the closet along with the others that I'm too afraid to sell!

I know exactly what you mean. I didn’t have the heart to sell V1 Star Lord though I seriously considered it. Just love that weathered long jacket too much. Sometimes its best just to hold on to the figure and avoid the hassles of ebay. Too many reasons to get burned as a seller. Personally I’m going to keep both.

If you decide to sell, just describe any issues that you see accurately and take lots of pics and there shouldn’t be a problem.

Yeah he looks good. But damn, what a fragile figure. Got him second hand, i broke the walkman, the "motion" helmet and the inner neck of the body. And i'm a cautious guys with my figs.

How did you manage to break all those parts???

 

[VivAdama]

The Walkman broke when i took it out of the box. I wasn't even trying to set it on the figure. The inner neck broke when i was changing the sculpt. That never happened to me with any other figure. I think i'm cursed.

Well the silver lining is that since it's a new purchase you should be covered if you ask for a replacement. They shouldn't be breaking so easily!

Unfortunately i got it second hand and it was purchased by the previous owner directly from HT day one... I have no proof of purchase or anything.
I've repaired the walkman and helmet. My biggest issue is the body, since the head doesn't hold very well in place. I will never be able to sell him. Or i will but for parts, and will loose money. But that's okay, for now it looks good in the detolf, i'm not suposed to touch him anytime soon.

Oh, that's a bummer and that's most likely why the original seller probably got rid of him. Did the seller make any reference to fragile parts? Because for the most part I haven't read anyone else having issues with fragile parts breaking easily...

Nope, but i'm sure that I broke the inner neck and walkman. Not so sure about the motion helmet. But i'll find a solution someday.

Well, sorry to hear about that. I've got mine arriving this week and hearing about how the figure is potentially fragile and easily broken has me kinda worried now...

Don't be. Just be careful when handling these and you'll be fine! He's an awesome figure, enjoy!

 

[CollectorGuy]

Since im usually the guys who's cursed and always manages to break those fragile little bits on something. Can someone tell the best way to remove the jackets without causing any damage to them? I haven't taken off the short coat since i got for this reason and just cuz i kinda like the way it looks with the masked head, but i did buy the deluxe for the long coat so.

Can't decide if I should pick this one up, or hold out for the Infinity War version.

At least with the latter, I'd have other figs to put him with. I'm not picking up any other Guardians... Hmmm.

Unless you're Howard Chan, you can't be sure they'll even do a Star Wars Infinity War version, especially right on the heels of this release ? HT will have a lot on their plate with Infinity Wars. Plus there will also be GotG 3. I'd almost bet they won't do an IW version.

I'd get this one now if I were you. Sculpt is great, accessories are great.

 

[Lumos]

Perhaps. I have a hard time believing they're not gonna do at least one Infinity War Guardian figure. And seeing as Star-Lord is pretty much the main Guardian...

Then again, if his outfit barely changes, they might skip it. They definitely won't skip Cap, Widow, and Iron-Man. But I could see them skipping some of the Guardians, Doctor Strange...

Yes, like they skipped Vision for CW. Same outfit...

As for IW Guardians, I'd put money on teenage Groot. Everyone loves Groot.

And my personal wish is that they upgrade the upper torso of Drax to a beefier, more accurate "real to life" Dave Bautista body. But that could also be pushed to GotG 3.

Depending on her role, Mantis may even have a chance. Who knows ??

 

[Lumos]

Well, maybe I'll pick this one up, then!
