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

[guy66657]

The screaming sculpt looks so much better in the final version or do my eyes deceive me? So glad I ordered this.

I'd say so, he actually looks angrier than in the photo. I think they definitely adjusted the brows.

I'm not a fan of rocket. His teeth bother me immensely

 

[Fremen]

I am so excited and so jealous of you guys who are getting them now.

Yeah tell me about it, if I didnt have the SSC order I'd go the HK route to get them sooner

That looks sick.

 

[Cammo]

So what does this mean for European fans? Release early July or sooner?

 

[evenflow]

Rocket looks better and still loving Groot. Can't wait to finally get this set. Bought a new Detolf Saturday in anticipation of these guys. Just need Drax now...

Rocket's price is still ridiculous

Rocket's price is still ridiculous

Agreed, a second sculpt and an extra gun would have made it fair but $159.99 for that little guy, pfft

My thoughts exactly!

I still think it's fair. A Stormtrooper is $200.00 on a regular TT and will probably outsell Rocket 10 to 1 and has tons of re-use potential (already we have the Spacetrooper for $220.00). Rocket's unique head to toe, so really it's not that bad, IMO.

 

[Medusoid]

Wow, I didn't know that these guys were out already!

I think they came out great. I'm going to have to re-order them now.

 

[ImABarRoomHero]

So glad these turned out so well. Seems like forever ago when I PO'd them.

 

[Sidewinder]

Figures look great. Can't wait to get these guys

 

[Ironlegion]

Rocket's mouth needed to be articulated!!!! We could have had screaming and grinding teeth in one face sculpt. Can't wait for my Comic shop to get these as I pre ordered about a month ago. Too bad about Gamorra's rubber issue...

I agree with you guys. Case in point is 3Z's Tyrion. Unique body, complex costume, one head, two minor accessories coming in at ~$120 or less. That was fair, and he's taller. I get that Rocket has a body sculpt that is much more elaborate than Tyrion, but even then it's a stretch. Plus, we all know there will be a blue/teal suited version in the future; easy reuse, and the body will get reused for GOTG2. Had this figure toyed in the ~$120 range I believe he would have drawn a lot more attention. The sculpt's teeth just don't do it for me either.

New pics look great. As much as I feel like I'm getting ripped off on Rocket I feel that Groot is a steal. So it all works out in the end.

Yaaaassss!!!!! So glad I flexed them! Only 60$ to go!
