Oh, snap!

I can't wait till they show Starlord. Oooooeeeee mama!!! That's hot fire!!

So glad I didn't PO the SS version...This is sweet & if they got Starlord coming, then Dax almost a given

Well, for the SSC combo, you're looking at Groot for 599.99 and Rocket for 279.99 ($879.98 total w/o shipping).

One can only guess at the price of this guy will be, but if he comes in at 990SGD ($698.12 w/o shipping and proxy fees), I'm willing to bet you come within $100 bucks of each other.

This is what i wish SS would have done. If only XM would ever get a NA license, we can get a proper 2 horse race for collectibles in the US.

If by some crazy chance this was within $100 with shipping of the sideshow product color me surprised and i would purchase in a heartbeat. More than likely it will be more in the neighborhood of like $400. that being said yeah it would be just awesome to have some real competition in the US market to SS. Not buying XM through their SS site but XM's own storefront in the US. I doubt it will happen but if someone established got into the US market it would be great for US collectors.

Bring on Angela and Gamora.

And not the candy-a$$ new Marvel costume versions either. Originals or bust!

If you don't buy a ton of statues in a year, the shipping it an easier pill to take. So think of it as you get the piece you EXACTLY want and that's it. No settling for free shipping, but paying $800 for Rocket and Groot as two separate pieces that can't even be combined like this....

Now if you're looking to get 4-5 XM pieces, that's a rough one.

Love the more classic/annihilation Groot.

I hope XM are the guys who give me my Annihilation style GOTG team!
