DSTZach Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Well, sorry people are disappointed. In the name of scale, variety and fan demand, we went this route. I suppose we could have just painted the old micro-figure blue, but I'm glad we didn't. And people who wanted a poseable Rocket and didn't get one the first two times had more reason to be disappointed than people who've got what they wanted twice already, but feel how you gotta feel. No need to call anyone a whiner. Edited October 20, 2016 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This line up sounds good to me. I'm 100% for articulated Rocket. The legs seem a bit short, but I can't really judge it based on just a silhouette. At any rate, nice looking trailer, and wave looks to be hitting all of the sweet spots for me. Hoorah.

Hey zach, will groot be normal tree patern or have his tiny ravanger jacket, also will the detail be like the microfigs, or more like the original rocket Edited October 20, 2016 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Im assuming that rocket will look the same as tweedle dee/dum without their chest caps on. The proportions are a little odd but these are stylized figures and they look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightTheDead118 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Wait, does rocket have the same legs as mr krabs, they look the same length, they don't have feet that so i don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how is the original Rocket different from other micro-figures? I believe Groot'lll have Minimate detailing like Rocket, Robin, Snarf, Twiki, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm all for an articulated Rocket. He's the most action-oriented member of the team, so it will be nice to be able to pose him in different ways. Here's hoping we see a comic version as well.

Turtle Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Maybe by Microfigs he means the puppets, Ant Man, and Yellow Jacket... Edited October 20, 2016 by Turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think the silhouette shows that there's some sculpted detail there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 For sure. I'm just hazarding a guess on what he meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Rocket's legs are that short, and his arms are long to work his large weapon. Wow, I thought that was just goof with the Rocket image. A strange choice for the legs, seems to me DST should just take the plunge and use either regular child legs or arm legs, like Howard. Is there any chance for swap out alternate legs for either look? Thanks for clarifying on Yondu, but what about Nebula, does she get her baton weapons this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the sculpt, i meant is the paint detail just one solid color with a little face like potted groot or nothing like the antman figs, or fully detailed out like gotg 1 rocket, I probably didn't word it too well Edited October 20, 2016 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were chosen to more closely reflect his height, not sure why a plunge is necessary. No bonus parts included. Looks like his arms may end up being child arms, so hopefully that gels the look for you. 13 hours ago, youbastards said: Thanks for clarifying on Yondu, but what about Nebula, does she get her baton weapons this time?

SCW Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've never understood why an articulated Rocket is so hard. Not just for Minimates, but for toys in general. There's virtually no articulated Rockets. The new animated line has one and it caused me to buy the whole line just because I was like, cool, finally a Rocket who can move his legs. So I applaud DST for making an articulated RR. It's about time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I decided to do a free sticker kit for this series for any orders of 2 full sets of 8 or full custom cases. I had a lot of fun making a few stickers for the first Guardians movie, and I am guessing that the 2nd movie will have opportunities for alternate looks and additional characters.

hellpop Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 BTW anyone that doesn't like the tiny legs on Rocket, the NBX Werewolf legs work very well. I upgraded my old custom with 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
