Uhhhh..I really hope not. That's not a very good approximation of the suit Rocket is wearing on that cover. I also don't care so much for the movie GotG Starlord. However, its a moot issue since I have the classic-versions for both characters.

Funny how the movies influence the depictions of heroes in comics. I remember when Blade in the comics started looking like Wesley Snipes. Not to discredit Wesley, who I love as Blade, but I always preferred 70's Blade who sported a dope 'fro....not to mention the recent depiction of Blade as bald a la Sticky Fingaz...really? Sticky Fingaz (I never really was an Onyx fan - maybe a song or two)? Recently, we've seen Hawkeye transition to a look more closely resembling Renner's rendition of the hero. Call me an ol'fogey, a purist, a stick in the mud, but this sort of thing grinds me a bit.....I guess the movies nor the comics can be made to suit me specifically....and there is 'brand recognition' that must ALWAYS be considered!

Anyway, I guess the Starlord/Rocket are not so important to me as is the Gamora. I hope Hasbro at least sticks to the picture they used as a mock-up, which featured her in her Annihilation outfit...and a new Drax and whomever else they decide to include (I'd personally like to see Phyla, Mantis, Bug, or Cosmo).
