MisterMiracle Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Few things: I think that Rocket Racoon looks fine as is. He would not have liked right as a regular Minimate. This whole set is a pass for me. I'm not a huge fan of movie Minimates. I would probably buy these is they ever release comic versions although I'm not super familiar with all of the characters. Yeah, the #yolo stuff needs to go. It would've been funny like 2 years ago but it's kinda old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sorry everyone is so upset about Rocket, there will be plenty of product from other companies for those who just need the biggest raccoon they can find. You may also want to consult your local taxidermist. I couldn't be happier with the whole lineup, personally. And I've considered saving up for a taxidermied raccoon, standing up straight, wearing the little navy uniform with red piping... STOP JUDGING ME.

TENIME_art Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Heck, if I were to change anything about Rocket, I'd make him smaller. A little Lockheed-sized figure to sit on Groot's shoulder. Flark yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Yes, our fair state has a history of weird raccoon related behavior. Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. And don't forget that a lot of Texas icons were Tennesseeans first! Edited March 19, 2014 by Turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Including Sam Houston and Davey Crockett! And don't forget that a lot of Texas icons were Tennesseeans first!

Ronan The Accuser Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm not feeling it with this wave. I'm not a big fan of movie looks so nothing jumps out at me here. Maybe a Ronan pack, maybe, but that'll probably be it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If they make a comic Rocket the same size as the movie version I'll buy extra to offset the people who are saying they won't buy one. If Drax has to have a powerhouse chest piece the other one that is more sculpted would be a better choice, the one in the picture looks awful on characters that don't have bulked-up arms.

Nessex Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 buttheadsmate, on 19 Mar 2014 - 22:20, said: The IM pack was just sheer perfection.....still unrivalled. I decided i didn't want 'Movie stuff' when that pack came out. After seeing pics of it in hand i began the long search to track it down. That set was one of my grails for quite a while. Despite never officially being in the movie, it's got to be in my top 3 movie armours. I'd also like to point out that having Rocket as a mini-statue / accessory means that we will be getting a total of 10 characters from the film. In this case, I'd rather have static-Rocket than no Yondu/Nebula/Nova/etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 These look great! Drax looks good, but would be nice if he had a tampo'd chest block to display him un-bulky. I, too, would like to know if the TRU versions will have any differences from the LCS version, a la ASM2. It will determine how much I end up spending on this wave.... I cannot wait!

DSTZach Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Puck and Rocket are both small, but I think Rocket is smaller. #SO LOW That said, I honestly wish we'd made Puck as a micro-figure. People might have protested, but Talisman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd have loved a TRU version of Puck with a great big 'F' on the front of his costume . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonpr Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Honestley think you could have gotton away with doing 2 sizes of Rocket a`la Tinkerbell. Made one tru exclusive or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vox Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I am fine with the Rocket. I'd say my only critisism of the wave is that the colors seem very muted. I know movie waves are generally toned down to better reflect the "reality" of the film, but the film looks much more colorful than the product IMHO. The blue Amy Pond mate actually looks like the best of the bunch to me if for no other fact than the detail and crisp color used... Hoping these are protos and Groot & Star Lord end up a bit richer.. Either way, i'll collect 'em all and im very glad we are getting a movie wave for this flick. Edited March 20, 2014 by The Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I like the look of these. Rocket looks cool. Groot is the one I think could use a little more of something. Groot! Groot! Groot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I know what you mean, Groots all bark, no biteDon't be a stick in the mud. DST wood not leaf us hanging. I'm sure we'll be satisfied after we root around in the packaging. Or maybe I'm just being a sap. But even if not, flora movie figure, you have to con-seed that Groot looks great.

Zexion_Armando Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 For my Groot, I'm going to do everything I can think of to make him super tall and imposing. Stacks on stacks of waist risers and putting putty into his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
