As the MARVEL blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" hits the big screen, Hong Kong toy manufacturer Hot Toys also announced yesterday (3rd) its first 1/6th scale collectible figure product from the film: "Groot"! Both a regular edition and a deluxe edition that gives you a pile of guns will be released simultaneously. This article will focus on the details of the "regular edition," with an estimated shipping date between Q2 and Q3 2024.
This figure stands approximately 32.5 cm tall and features 20 points of articulation throughout its body. Based on the new movie's setting, Groot has grown again, becoming stronger and more formidable. In addition to utilizing a new body sculpt, the intricate tree bark textures, rendered with meticulous sculpting and painting techniques, are incredibly lifelike, faithfully capturing his tree-being nature. The small saplings visible across his body and the fuzzy green moss further symbolize Groot's vibrant vitality! The head sculpt is also excellent, vividly capturing his essence while offering three interchangeable face plates—a grinning expression, a neutral expression, and an angry expression—significantly enhancing playability and display options.
Accessories include a bomb, two heavy pistols, multiple interchangeable hands, and a "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" movie-themed display base. The pistols, in particular, showcase sculpting craftsmanship that rivals Groot himself; the robust mechanical details and subtle weathering on their surfaces are highly satisfying, and the dual-wielding pose exudes an impressive presence.
