Picked up my Rocket and Groot last night.
Didn't take any photos. However, wanted to give everyone some updates you may or may not know.
Groot:
Groot's additional expression is a face, not an entire HS. So you remove his face like a mask to attach the other one in. Not pop out the head.
Overall quality is top notch, no soft transition, all the details are well defined. Looks wonderful. Articulation is ok for what it is... a giant figure of a Alien Tree man.
Rocket:
Looks great in person. Originally I really didn't like they showed his teeth. In person, looks much better. Depending on what angle you tilt his head, you don't really notice it looking at it from above. He has head and separate neck articulation. I'm glad they toned down the eyebrows. Less Wolf like, looks more like the aggressive Rocket from the movie.
Regarding the feet, his feet are not bendy. However there is a separate pair of feet to swap. So the standard feet, and another pair where he is on his toes. 3 pairs of hands, relaxed, fist, and a pair for the cannon.
The most annoying factor regarding Rocket is his Whiskers. This is coming from a guy who doesn't mind doll hair on female figures. I'll stylize that hair until I have the way I like. But those Whiskers... they float in whatever direction, and I don't wanna yank in in which direction in risk of plucking it out. If anyone has any solution how to pose the whiskers, please do tell.
All in all.. Rocket is definitely over priced, but still a nice figure all in all. Groot is a real winner.

Appreciate the feedback, Stanlore. Cannot wait to get my hands on these two even more. I did notice Rocket's whiskers were a little off in some of the official Hot Toys photos. Was hoping they weren't all like that. But hopefully someone comes up with a good solution to balance these out.

It's not a huge gripe for me but isn't Rocket a little too big for Groot in terms of height? XD Just a little.
They look pretty much the same. Maybe rocket is a tad bigger but imo still pretty close.It's not a huge gripe for me but isn't Rocket a little too big for Groot in terms of height? XD Just a little.

I think they cheated the sizes in that poster a bit? He doesn't look that small in the movie.

Thought about ordering this from a HK seller to get it early, but at $600.00, waiting is just fine.

$600!!!!
I got one for A LOT less than that. That's crazy money. But if Budget Stark is correct these are quite rare in HK.
