Frankly, Hot Toys doesn't deserve our faith when it comes to things like these. On several occasions figures have been teased, only to have nothing ultimately released.

Shanester Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This happens a lot in 1/6th, it seems. I am about to get a flood of Star Wars 1/6th. Clone Bomb Squad, Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, & Space Troopers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Seriously. I can't afford many of these, but I've been holding on to my decent tax refund since late January just to spend on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsomedevil Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Late to the Deadpool question, but YES, I would buy one. I hope he's not put in the "X-Men embargo". I'm really hoping for some new Deadpool Minimates! That will probably be the only way I will get his X-Force uniform... And catching up to the other topics... Winter Soldier movie? Meh. The figure? Looks badass! And please don't post any Rocket/Groot pics. I'm REALLY not trying to buy them! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Also! I got my shipping notice! BBTS says Rocket is over 6" tall? Can I see a comparison with a Marvel Legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Don't have a 6" figure handy, but will do one better. Rocket is just shy of 6.5" from toe to ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That's so awesome. I can't wait to put him next to my 1/6 Tyrion Lannister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 How are the whiskers on Rocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Very soft, almost like paint brush bristles. I tried to wet them a bit to manipulate them, but it didn't really work very well. All in all, Rocket is much more poseable than I expected. His shoulders are just simple ball joints too, so I was able to mess with getting the gun in some cool poses and only had to worry about his arm popping off the ball joint at the shoulder, the elbows look much more fragile. His hands and feet are just tiny little pegs that fit very tightly in the joint, kinda reminded me of old Medicom joints. It works really well. Hot Toys has very specific instructions about how far to attempt to move his legs and warns not to attempt to remove the costume, so I've been much more cautious about those leg joints.

luke314pi Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 My set arrived today, and these are both very impressive figures. Even Rocket's gun is one of the best 1/6 scale weapons I have ever seen. Now I need to figure out how to fit Groot into a detolf shelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 My set arrived today, and these are both very impressive figures. Even Rocket's gun is one of the best 1/6 scale weapons I have ever seen. Now I need to figure out how to fit Groot into a detolf shelf... Yeah Groot ended up being much taller than I anticipated. I have him all hunched over waving, like he was in the prison lineup sequence but I don't want to leave him like that for too long since his skin is that flexible rubber and I don't want to ruin it.

Mysterious Stranger Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Luke, what lights are you using in your Detolf? We have 2 that I need to wire up with lights but haven't really decided on a set up yet. And my Guardians are set up basically that exact same way, on the mirror version with Groot leaning the other way and Gamora on Starlord's right side.

luke314pi Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I use this set of lights from Ikea. I have been happy with it, and it was easy to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
