This Yondu is fine and kudos to Hasbro for the accuracy, but there are so many others that I would have preferred come ahead of this, even as it regards the OG Guardians. Martinex as one of the most interesting – don’t mess that up Legends team; a simple retool of AoA Iceman will not be enough (but will also, very likely, be the route chosen). Charlie-27 will also make for an interesting set piece – ditto on messing that up Legends team as he is a little trickier than some might believe particularly if little attention is paid to the ways in which various artists have illustrated the character (massively/inhumanly broad, while also being the same height as most 6’ heroes). And Starhawk, which, of the original crew, is the only one I really wanted – I’d like to have both Stakar and Aleta.

However, for the DnA Guardians run, I have joined numerous consistent calls for cannon versions of Mantis, Bug, Cosmo, Phyla-Vell, and Moondragon. I’m completely convinced that had the attention to detail that’s on display with Yondu been visited upon any of the characters I just named, including the original line-up, there would have been greater buzz for this announcement.

I’ll grab Yondu on consignment/loose, but this marks another Legend that I won’t be nabbing at retail, which means no moneys for Hasbro.

Another Cosmic character I need is from The Silver Surfer Starlin/Lim era. A proper Drax The Destroyer. I've long since given up on Rom.
