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

Re: Hot Toys MMS252 Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon

Looks pretty darn good to me - the question will be the price. He's a small figure, doesn't come with a lot and I bet HT will want at least $200 for him.

I was hoping they'd pack-in Groot, but I'm sure HT is seeing $$ with this line.

Re: Hot Toys Screaming Tree Guy and Rodent.

Speaking of Hot Toys Spider-Man, I bet ASM 2 Spider-Man and Electro are poor sellers, especially with all these other Marvel releases.

Agreed. And Rhino shouldn't happen. HT should chalk up their prototype to a miscalculation and move on to. . .more Iron Men I guess.

That's because geeks like the characters.

True. . .I'll probably never disagree with a guy with Flint in his signature

The stands are cool

I really like the standard black stands but these are not half bad.

Brainiac there is already a Rocket thread...

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 252 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Rocket

I noticed this as well. Because what's odd is that they made the 2 pack come with a second screaming Groot sculpt but they didn't give one to Rocket when he has a screaming sculpt as well based off the movie and promos. The teaser also shows that they have the prisoner outfit in the works.

With Rocket being a cheaper figure than the rest, I bet they'll squeeze out another version to cash out on him.

If the 5 pack is really coming, it will be a deluxe with prison suits and more sculpts for $899.99-$1,000. Sweet baby Jesus.

Hot Toys - MMS 252 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Rocket

Okay just realized in that poster there, Rockets head does look bigger than what we see in the film. So is it just the angle? But if the head sculpt was based off that, then I understand why the proportions are the way they are but in the film, he just looks leaner and his head looks smaller. Ugh this is bugging me more than it should.

Re: Hot Toys Screaming Tree Guy and Rodent.

Gosh, are we making whole threads about how much we don't want something now? If so, I'm going to make another thread for every 1/6 figure I have no interest in.

Well this is a forum made up of opinions. So if the opinion is overly negative what does that say about the figure?

Re: Hot Toys Screaming Tree Guy and Rodent.

Well, on the bright side, atleast this talking raccoon and Lord of the Rings Ent are actually new characters by Hot Toys instead of another Predator, Iron Man or Joker.

That's exactly why I like the standard stands so they can fit in the detolfs.

How do you mean? The average cost for my iron men is probably less than $225. Jealous much?

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 252 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Rocket

450$ for both is not bad.

Not bad? NOT freaking BAD???

Guess I should be glad it's still $280 in reality and not $450 of a fantasy world some collectors live in.
