1/6th-scaled ROCKET RACCOON by Hot Toys for Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Hot Toys announces their first 1/6th-scaled figure from their adaptation of Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 feature film, with ROCKET RACCOON dressed all nice-in-his-new-space-duds (different from the first version with Groot), and with two editions to be had!
There is the REGULAR Edition (see above / breakdown below), and there is the DELUXE Version (See below) - which comes with an additional (1) Interchangeable head sculpt with a “calm” Raccoon-mode! (2) an epic HUGE-a$$ heavy machine gun, and (3) A pair of additional gun-holding hands! (Hoping the gun is not too heavy to be held and posed tho :p) And BOTH includes a “non-articulated miniature” BABY GROOT figure (blurred out in both edition’s product release images lol).
Price is US$197.99 for the regular edition, and US$227.99 for the Deluxe p on Sideshowtoy.com. Check in with your own fav retailer(s) for final pricing, if you so please :)
A quick check on Amazon yielded Version 1 of Rocket for US$154.95 and US$407 for Version 1 of Rocket+Groot (Highest listed price being nearly US$4K!), so you might want to consider NOT missing out on these when the feature film hits and is yet another runaway success! LOL
Check out the video I made of the figure (Just above), and check in with your fav retailer(s) for final pricing and availability. Hot Toys has a Release Date scheduled for Q4, 2017 – Q1, 2018.
