Pre-Order Alert: Sideshow Collectibles Exclusive Gamora Premium Format Figure

marvel-gamora-premium-format-300462-02

 

Up for order right now is Sideshow Collectibles’ exclusive Gamora Premium Format Figure!

This newest statue features this Guardian of the Galaxy in her white battle armor, decorated with gold skulls, a hooded cloak, and a belt.

Both the regular and exclusive version come with Gamora’s God Slayer sword, but the exclusive also has a swap-out hand with Gamora holding a tactical knife.

This item is slated to ship in early 2017–right about when the hype for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will be at its apex. So you know this is going to be sold out and have a high secondary value when it ships.

Don’t delay, order your Gamora Premium Format Figure now at Sideshow Collectibles!

Pre-Order Alert: Hot Toys Exclusive Star-Lord Figure

SDCC-2014-Hot Toys- Guardians of the Galaxy 04

 

 

“My name is Peter Quill.  There’s one other name you may know me by:  Star-Lord.”

No doubt, Guardians of the Galaxy has gone from Marvel’s riskiest film to date to being a sure-fire hit–the only question now is how big of a hit?  But with crowd-pleasing trailers featuring Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, Drax, and, yes, Star-Lord anticipation is high for this film.

And, of course, what would a new Marvel movie be without Hot Toys based on it?  902219-star-lord-004

Now the third of the Guardians is up for order–and there’s an exclusive edition!

Both versions of Star-Lord come with 5 pairs of gloved palms, 2 guns, a sling pack, a cassette player, and a realistic plasma orb.  But if you hurry and get the Exclusive Edition you also get handcuffs and the silver Orb we see Quill trying to steal in the trailer!

I’ve seen this figure in person at SDCC (photo above was taken by me).  The coat has amazing detail and tailoring.  The facial likeness is spot-on.  The accessories are intricite.  This is a great figure of what appears to be an amazing new character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So what are you waiting for?  Hurry and get your order in now, before you call Sideshow to order Star-Lord and they reply “Who???  He’s sold out.”
