Are You Seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy this Weekend?

Marvel Legends Drax Rocket Raccoon Star-Lord

Although there were some “preview” showings last night, Guardians of the Galaxy officially opened today. I purposely tried to avoid as much info on the movie before seeing it, but even so, the marketing machine of Disney / Marvel was so effective that I was worried I was over-hyped for it. Well, that worry was all for naught – we saw a showing in 3D earlier today, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has all the fun of the first Iron Man movie, but with a much bigger heart.

Now, it’s the long wait, for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, which Marvel announced for July 2017… and also the action figures! Sure, Hasbro has Marvel Legends figures for the movie Guardians – you’ll have a tough time finding a full set in stores or even on Amazon, but you can get a full case of Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy at Entertainment Earth (all figures including doubles of Iron Man and Star-Lord) or pre-order a complete set of all six at BigBadToyStore. As for me, I’m getting the Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy figures – Sideshow has exclusive versions of Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Star-Lord up for pre-order, but those won’t arrive until March next year.

SDCC 2014: Hot Toys Marvel Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy

SDCC 2014 Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy

I’d only seen Hot Toys’ teaser of Star-Lord for Comic-Con, but was happy to see all of the Guardians of the Galaxy present at Sideshow Collectibles’ display of the Hot Toys Marvel movie characters. I snapped pics of as much of the Guardians as I could, and included the recent additions to the Avengers / Captain America / Iron Man lines. Falcon and Winter Soldier both look awesome, and the Bones armor from Iron Man 3 has an impressive amount of detail. They also had the SHIELD Helicarrier on site – it could double for a small coffee table.

I believe you can pre-order Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Iron Man in the Hot Toys section at Sideshow Collectibles. Happy shopping!

Weekend Toy Run: Pre-Order Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy on Amazon

Captain America may have opened in theaters this weekend with Spidey not far behind, but the toys have been out for months now – so we’re onto the next big Marvel movie. The Marvel Legends line for Guardians of the Galaxy is up for pre-order now at Amazon.com. They’re listed at $21.99 each, showing a steady creep up from when Hasbro first brought back Legends. Don’t forget, though, that you’re getting a full-sized Groot Build-a-Figure!

Amazon has the release date as June 1st, a couple months before the August 4 movie release date. Go get em!

Border Patrol: Marvel Legends Jubilee, Rogue, and Hulkbuster Iron Man

More Marvel Legends in this week’s Border Patrol – two customs of figures that were put on hold when Hasbro’s plans for running change variants were shelved, and one that could be made leveraging an existing Build-a-Figure.

  • Marvel Legends Jubilee by Horton’s Heroes – Jubilee was supposed to be the Build-a-Figure for the first wave of Marvel Legends this year, but retailers opted for the movie-supported Captain America and Spider-Man lines – this is her classic costume, but the planned figure was in her more modern look, with the black suit underneath her trademark yellow trench coat – ends Apr 07, 2014 20:28:42 PDT
  • Marvel Legends Rogue by Babcsan – Rogue was to be the running change variant for Emma Frost in the Wolverine Legends line, but when that went exclusive to Diamond, Rogue and the Phoenix Five Cyclops were shelved – I think I see a little too much of Trish Stratus left in that head sculpt – ends Apr 05, 2014 12:06:35 PDT
  • Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man by Happy Day Customs – I haven’t found the second wave of Cap Legends to finish my Mandroid and Happy Day is customizing the BAF – argh! – if Hasbro didn’t already have this idea, it’s a decent one for a future BAF leveraging the Iron Monger / Mandroid body – ends this morning, Apr 01, 2014 09:11:36 PDT

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
