Weekend Toy Run: Get a Life-Size Rocket Raccoon (on Any Budget)

Hasbro had this life-size action figure of Rocket Raccoon (yes, its arms are poseable!) on display at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and after I saw Guardians of the Galaxy, I wanted one for myself. Sure, I got the Marvel Legends figure, but having something at 1/12 scale when you’ve seen it at 1/1… well, it’s just not enough.

Luckily for you and me, if you want a Rocket Raccoon that’s big enough to climb a real tree or tree-like friend, you can buy one – even if you’re not made of money. Here’s a range of options for a life-size Rocket Raccoon for your collection, depending on how many credits you scored for that Infinity Gem orb.

Star Wars Graphic Novels 75% Off for Nicks and Dents at TFAW.com

Has the prospect of a new Star Wars movie (and action figures) got you jonesing for more Star Wars right now?

If so, Things From Another World has you covered. They’ve got a 75% off sale for “nick and dent” Star Wars trade paperbacks underway – over 150 TPBs for sale. These are ones with small scuffs or dings but are still awesome for reading – they won’t have torn pages or marred artwork in any way. I’ve bought a lot of nick and dent TPBs during former TFAW sales because the prices are great, and it’s not like you get TPBs as investments anyways.

It’s a long wait until December 18, when Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally opens, so stock up on some reading material and get your Star Wars fix for cheap. Happy shopping!
