Plenty of time for Hot Toys to revise the head sculpt ready for release in 2054.

Ok so yeah Cosmo spent more screen time with other characters.

But as far as Rocket is concerned, what would have been a better accessory than Cosmo?

Would have honestly taken that. Maybe a small cage with a cluster of them inside.

Then do an actual new sculpt that isn't 11 years old and include his other screaming ones that they've done in the past since there's ZERO reason to not include all of them.

100% A gritting head doesn't even make sense for him with this movie. It's not like Rocket's sculpts take anywhere near as much time to paint as others either, the already created other head should've definitely been included too. But a new more stoic one would've been better to include. The dog is a neat idea but she's also totally static and isn't the most pose for her.

Yeah this really needed a more soulful kind of expression that actually fit the tone of the movie and his story arc. Not to mention just a better sculpt in general, as they didn't even get the shape of his head right.

And to be totally fair to HT, they probably didn't get to watch the movie first. Could they have made some baby raccoons? Sure. Would I prefer Cosmo, an actual team member, over baby raccoons? Yes.

Could have done the Ant-Man treatment and do his younger versions.

There's a lot they could have done. We got a lazy release instead.

They’ve been putting up some stellar headsculpts lately with rolling eyeballs and all but for Rocket we get a decade old sculpt that doesn’t really even look like him and doesn’t fit the theme/tone of the movie or represent how he appeared in it.

I misread the thread title and for a second there I thought we were getting Cosmo and Wanda figures

Missed opportunity. :toilet_cl

The reaction on this figure:

But I also think they should have produced a new sculpt like this (non-angry with big eyes, and if they would make him with a real fur that would be amazing):

The Entity · May 13, 2023

After watching the movie last wednesday and rewatching Vol. 1 again yesterday, I felt it was time for a reposing session. (Ofcourse while listening to the Awesome Mix).

I'm happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to share it here:

I should make a new collection thread someday.

TimespliTT · May 13, 2023

no shirtless version. one head sculpt
charging the same price as groot but at 1/6 the size.....

RulerOfAsgard · May 13, 2023

Lazy release considering how much of the movie was his. At least make the top of the uniform removable to show off the cybernetics on him. Oh well, guess I'll be sticking with the vol. 2 deluxe.

WolfBoy · May 15, 2023

Rocket, Teefs, Floor, Lylla figure trauma bundle 4 pack please.

mynameschris · May 15, 2023

Needed another head-sculpt, like many have said maybe something without an angry expression, I'd have included a Zune too.

Jroug · May 15, 2023

I would love a cosmo at $150, but no interest in a third Rocket. Hoping they do Warlock and man, I'd LOOOOVE a Kraglin but doubt it'll ever happen, even with third party.

BLNadal · May 15, 2023

maybe if we make some noise on HT facebook page for a new headsculpt they change it, like happened with Endgame Captain America

gmoney5000 · May 16, 2023

Glad to see the disgruntled comments in here...but, hey, at least HT fixed the lazy, blatantly visible hinged feet/toes on the last Rocket lol.

evenflow · May 16, 2023

Would have preferred if Cosmo came with Kraglin. Dont really need another Rocket.
