GOTG Vol. 2 - Groot Life-Size Collectible Figure

[MikeyTheKid]

Finally got around to get lightroom and messed around a bit. To me this looks like it fits in the GotG style very well.

Love this guy!

Okay, what's going on here?

New Groot 'lite' edition? Only the one headsculpt, with added speakers as a bonus?

Looks like either they had a lot of stock left they needed to move, or, it almost looks like that's packaged for retail shelves....

I don't see any logical reason behind this release.

Mo money, duh!

The speakers look like cheap paper anyway.

 

[DarthTrafford]

The speakers are cardboard too.
The original isn’t sold out.
Get the original it’s a hundred times better.

 

[Hoody999]

Yep, looks like a product filler to get one last shot at Baby Groot before teenage Groot takes over ! I guess they'll also use IW hype to sell this guy a bit as well.

To be honest when I saw this I thought if they have added a screaming sculpt to this I will go mad !

Glad I got the original with suit. So cool !

I'd almost get this so I can have one displayed in the suit and one without.

I wonder if it’ll be cheaper? I’d buy it, if that was the case. It does seem like a missed opportunity, though. They could’ve added some new faceplates and enticed more people to buy it.

My thoughts on this figure. Interested to see the pricepoint and how much cheaper is suitable.

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

No way. People would be pissed if they added new, better stuff that you had to buy a whole new groot to get.

I do think HT could make a killing if they every decided to start just offering extra head sculpts/alternate outfits /accessories a la cart.

Yeah this was really surprising. It's announced like 3 months after the release of the first one and comes with nothing but ****** fake speakers?

 

[achillesmf]

Love the one foot on ground pose. Hoping for 50 usd cheaper then I will get it. But if I had the 1st version I wouldn't.

 

[Ninja4H]

New heads, new hands, and working speakers would make sense...but this just seems like a weird release for something not long sold out.

 

[Ehollywood]

The Double Dipping money they could've made on this had Hot Toys included an Angry sculpt.

 

[dukefett]

Coming with zero other accessories...it's got to be at least $140 or something right? I don't see them dumping it lower than that even though like $100 would generate a ton of sales. How much are the additional faces, hands, and the suit worth to Hot Toys?

 

[Centrocal]

It really does look like it was designed for a retail store. (Hot Topic ) Also since when do they promote the product box? unless its one of those 'upcoming release' group pics
