I will pick him up, but he is the first of a new team to build, so how long will it take for him not to be lonely on my shelf?

Vance has actually been pretty heavily involved in the cosmic side of things. He was a part of the 2008 Guardians series as well as the recent Guardians 3000 and Guardians of Infinity runs. Of all of the original Guardians he is definitely the most used and most well known. He is also technically over 1000 years old in this version as he is the same Marvel Boy/Justice Vance Astro from New Warriors and The Avengers.

The original Guardians have been gaining a little traction lately so I would expect we might see a few more of them. Hasbro already did a comic version of Yondu for their 3.5 line. Charlie 27 could be pieced together from mostly Hulk parts so he is an easy addition.
