1/6 Hot Toys - MMS411 - GOTG Vol.2 - Rocket

[SAB]

Uh, yeah. This is a big "hell no" for me at these prices. I gotta believe they are experimenting with the upper limits of what collectors will pay at this point. I gotta believe in the sanity of the customer base.

That's not going to work out well for you ....

HK price is $1390HKD, so about $180USD. Regardless, the engineering and tooling of that big gun is indeed intricate but does it justify making a small figure like Rocket the price of a full size character like Cap A or Falcon is very debatable. With this price hike, I wonder they are going to charge all GOTG figures at a higher price like $249 across the board.

I'm not put off by the price... but they didn't improve his rat tail!!! Hopefully it gets an update by release, but I wont hold my breath.

Maybe they do not give a rat's ass about it......

I'd like to have a Rocket in my collection, but not for that price For $200-230 I could get a full size figure. Just not worth it to me.

I have a feeling somebody's gonna make a knock off version of Rocket's screaming headsculpt. I can't justify $235.+ S/H for this small figure that uses the same body as the first Rocket. I don't need the big ass gun, either.

Mix 1 Rocket is still available for less than retail, but I do like lil Groot. Goldurnit Hot Toys argh.

 

[MaizeRage25]

Outrageous price.

 

[BuffyGirl]

I had to have this. Cannot wait. It may be a bit pricy but so great.

Your sig is awesome, jmtv! Did you draw it?

Thanks Fem! I wish I had that talent! I actually spotted it on a FB post and thought it was way fun so I saved the image.

Looks great! I'm going to try buy just the screaming head sculpt and the deluxe gun.

Nice acquisition! So excited for Ragnarok; the ensemble is going to be great.

It's so weird for me that I just P.O.d the Delux edition of this...Vol. 2 before I even get Vol. 1 Drax.

 

[Mike86]

The first Rocket was $160 so it's a pretty hefty increase. He does have a lot more accessories though compared with the original which only had extra hands and one blaster. I think it's expensive but I might get the regular release just because I like the character and didn't get the first version.

The deluxe edition seems really high to me though, especially when you compare it with a figure like Yoda which is similar in size and has two head sculpts and is the price of the regular edition.

Yeah...looks like I'll be waiting for the screaming head & BFG to show up on OSK.

 

[Hologram AI]

Seems like a nice upgrade and I can see why the price increased but it's a bit much.

Not gonna lie, I usually don't give a crap about the booster effects that they give to some of the Iron Man figures, but I kinda feel like his jet pack should have some sort of jet pack booster effects.
