Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is very much Rocket's movie, and we're pleased to now share a first look at Hot Toys' upcoming figure based on the character played by Sean Gunn and Bradley Cooper.
The head sculpt is a little disappointing if we're being honest, but the costume goes a long way in making up for that. It's also lacking in accessories to some extent, though the surprise addition of Cosmo (Maria Bakalova) is welcomed. Inevitably, that's going to jack up the price a little. The detailing on the telekinetic pooch is fantastic, though you'll notice the Soviet Union imagery is M.I.A.
Groot has already been revealed by Hot Toys, and we expect Star-Lord, Nebula, Mantis, and Drax to follow. As of now, it doesn't appear as if there are plans for figures featuring the likenesses of characters such as Kraglin, Adam Warlock, and The High Evolutionary.
Will you add Rocket and Cosmo to your Hot Toys collection?
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
Gunn writes and directs Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, and Maria Bakalova.
Kevin Feige is the producer and Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nikolas Korda, Simon Hatt, and Sara Smith serve as executive producers.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 arrives in theaters on May 5, 2023.
