I thought that we'd for sure have gotten him in a retro assortment by now but every time they've done such a wave I've been wrong. I got the three pack so it's not an issue for me but it seems like such an easy "no duh" repack/minor-repaint that I really don't get why Hasbro hasn't done it yet.



Got the Vol3 Rocket. The gun pictured is not the one included with the figure, this is from my 3.75" Star Wars accessories but I fished it out for Rocket to use. Just taking his first movie gun but casting it in a soft black plastic really wasn't working for me. My immediate gripe with this figure is just that he comes with so little, it's just the toy and the one gun. I don't count BAF parts because they're not a part of the figure you're getting and only really have meaning if you complete the wave. Mainly I look back at the Vol2 Rocket and he had 2 pistols (which sort of counts the same as the 1 big gun) but then also an alternate head and the little Groot, so the lack of accessories here is noticed. A non-articulated Blurp would've been something even though Rocket is barely on screen with it. The overall build of the new figure is sturdier feeling though since the skinnier naked limbs have been covered in a consistent uniform. Much like the Vol2 version it's nice to see how much articulation they managed to fit into such a smaller toy but also makes the statue-like Howard the Duck even more offensive.
