Hot Toys – MMS255 – Guardians of the Galaxy: 1/6th scale Star-Lord Collectible Figure

So I can't use a code or Paypal on a wait list exclusive? Why?

Nevermind, I just talked to them and they explained it. No star-lord for me. Maybe they will eventually get around to a short coat version anyway and some of the QC issues will be cleaned up.

That's what I'm thinking although I love the long coat too I really liked the jacket... will have to see what he wears in 2 years time.

Its GuardiansOTG......... not Guardian..... gotta get some Groot or Gamora or Rocket even

My Ex got shipped today

Do you guys recommend taking the batteries out of the helmet? in fear of them exploding and damaging the helmet over time!

Eventually...if you are storing him, immediately.

Plumbers tape around the ball joint does the trick.

This?

I'll try that...thanks a lot!

Thanks that helped a lot. My Starlord looks very lonely in the case I have. Think I will have to find a way to afford Rocket and Groot to keep him company.

There's also Gamora.

So I guess, the loose helmeted head sculpt is a common problem?

I think there are a few with no issues, it must be a particular batch

Yeah it's weird because my helmeted sculpt is so tight that it's hard to turn the head, guess i lucked out.

This is how mine is as well.

Just was able to open mine today - nice figure but my helmeted sculpt just flops all around and can't be posed at all. Guess this problem is somewhat common. I will have to try and figure something out as i did want to display with the helmet sculpt.

A layer of clear nail polish or super glue ( let dry) on the peg usually takes care of these problems and it's not very noticeable.

Debating on getting this one as BBTS recently got their shipment in of him. I really loved his character in the movie and I really like the head sculpt as it looks very accurate to Chris Pratt. So I guess the only problem people have had with him is the loose helmet sculpt?

If you love the movie and the Headsculpt, what's stopping you. This figure is pretty good, the helmet HS is just a minor thing.

Star lord is off the sideshow website

Edit: found it. Guess my phone is acting up
