Think Outside the Toy Box: Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Exclusives

Tyson writes about toys for comicsheatingup.net.
Hasbro is launching a second line of Guardians of the Galaxy to the Marvel Legends line up. This set was announced at SDCC last year and is based on the comic book versions of our cosmic heroes. There is no build a figure. There is no hunting them down at various big box stores. They all are sold together in a pretty display box and they can only be picked up here (or be at the mercy of eBay and/or Amazon). They went up today and are available now for pre-order. Enterainment Earth plans to get these to you by August. Get in on the first wave because with an exclusive like this, it could be one and done. If you are a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy or the Marvel Legends line, don’t wait.
Here are some things to note:
Star-Lord is a reissue of his 2014 SDCC exclusive from the Thanos Box Set. This is you second chance to grab him if you missed the first go round. Rocket is a reissue of the BAF from 2013 that never made it to retail and was only sold online. This made this one hard to get for some. Groot looks like the BAF version but with new head sculpt. Drax is roided out on their larger sculpt this time, i.e. Hyperion. And look, there’s a baby Groot. Expect to pay $120. That works out to $24 per figure. Not to bad for an exclusive that might not be around again.
