Earlier this month, we shared photos of the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and Baby Groot Figures. Bandai has updated listings for the figures, and it looks like the Bandai Premium Web Exclusives will not all be lumped together in one release. They now have separate listings for Star-Lord and a Rocket Raccoon with Baby Groot Set.
Star-Lord stands just over 6″ tall. The figure will include both masked and unmasked head sculpts.He will also include interchangeable hands and two blasters. Star-Lord will be priced at 6,624 Yen (about $56 USD). Rocket Raccoon stands a little over 3″ tall, while Baby Groot stands at just over a half inch tall. Rocket Racoon includes interchangeable head sculpts, two different blasters and a special figure stand. Included are both a standard and a Ravager version of Baby Groot with interchangeable heads. The Rocket and Baby Groot Set is priced at 3,780 Yen (about $34 USD).
Both of these releases go up for pre-order tomorrow in Japan. They are scheduled for release in September. Read on for the photos.
Tamashii Nations Announces Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 SH Figuarts

Guess there's no need for me to pick up the Marvel Legends now.
Wow, that's fantastic!!
Pretty awesome!
If they do Rocket, I'm all in.
But what about vol. 1
? I want full size Groot and Rocket in orange suit:/
Hell yes !!!
I'll need to pick the TRU Groot to go with them
I'll get the Marvel Legends and these! OMG YESSS
I'm in trouble.
Time to start selling off those extra fluids, then. Can I set up a direct deposit for my paychecks to go straight to Marvel and their licensed merch manufacturers?

That's a bit more sane than what I've paid for my many of my other Figuarts toys. Thank you, muchly!
I may just snatch up the ones that are vastly superior to their Marvel Legends counterparts. Articulated Rocket is likely a must, and I suspect their Gamora will be much better, too. And Star Lord will probably be spot on.
Crap.
I may jump into the Figuarts pool for these.
I don't do scales above 3.75" and I don't do movie likenesses, but THIS....this I could totally go all in for!
If Hasbro wont make a movie version Nebula, maybe figuarts will

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Star-Lord SH Figuarts Preview - The Toyark - News

The body looks great but with Hasbro s recent head sculpt improvements figuarts misses the mark. I think the face for Hasbro looks better. I am site Figuarts will have better paints but judging the sculpt Hasbro does look more like Chris Pratt.
Thank you Bandai!!! I'll wait to see all promo pics, but this looks promising.
That being said, I really hope we'll get the rest of the team (at least Rocket & Groot, Drax & Gamora, maybe Nebula & Yondu but I guess that would be asking too much).
I just got done binge watching Parks and Recreation so my love for Chris Pratt is at an all time high. This looks fantastic. Hopefully he's appropriately scaled. Bring on the GOTG gals next!
I think it's a good headsculpt for being a straight face. I prefer some emotion in the face, but this works. Hope to see some of the other soon. I can tell some of the crew will be web exclusives, so I know building this team will be costly. Unless they get some US releases that is.
It looks like Star-Lord will be sold together with Rocket and Baby Groot.
