Yes! I had that figure too, my second favorite version of her look. Unfortunately, I was confident we would get the classic version soon, so I sold it. I'm glad someone still has that one... maybe that was mine?! Lol!

Best thing about her, they had her on the correct body buck, AND they used this kind of olive green paint for her skin. I've always thought if there ever were green skinned people, that's the shade they would be.

Oh I concur about Gamora. I was able to get her figure from the 5-pack they did years ago (just her, no interest in the others) for a steal. One of my favorite figures- she doesn't have her classic fishnet body stocking but its still a nice look for her.

Geez Hasbro is all over the eras for the GOTG.. classic Vance and Yondu...Walmart StarLord is an anomaly as this version wasn't technically in the team as we know it.. then Drax and Moondragon from a third era all together.

The 70s era Guardians are my priority so we still need Starhawk, Nikki, Charlie, and Martinex..

The rest I can take or leave. To me, this version of Drax is Infinity Watch amd while this isn't any version of Moondragon I'd ASK for, I'll gladly take her as this is likely the first and last one we get

"... I hope we get more key players from the Inifinity era....classic Gamora (which is her crisscrossed green mesh body suit) and that devil in Thanos' ear, Mephisto!"

Classic Drax would probably be a smaller figure but I see where they were going here. It would've been cool to see them do the yellow liner to the cape. I noted how similar his outfit was to the Vision's; curved collar, skull cap with widow's peak, "kidney" belt. Starlin era Warlock would be good but I also want to see classic Warlock.

The original Drax, a resurrected Arthur Douglas, was a standard human size. But when the threat of Thanos again rose, Kronos resurrected him again with far greater strength, power and durability. However, he did not fix Drax brain, which had been destroyed by his daughter Moondragon, in around Avengers #220. So, 1990's Infinity era Drax was a powerhouse without rival, but with the IQ of an infant... which made for some very interesting and amusing stories. I hope we get more key players from the Inifinity era. Adam Warlock especially, but also big baddy Magus, comic Nebula, Pip the Troll, classic Gamora (which is her crisscrossed green mesh body suit) and that devil in Thanos' ear, Mephisto!

90s Drax looks cool but was personally hoping theyd keep the classic versions flowing after Star-Lord, Yondu and the neo-classicRonan, like coming through with Starlins Drax but whatever.Most of all though, I wonder if Adam Warlock will fall into this theme because Im itching for a Starlin version as well as an Infinity Gaunlet update.

A GOTG or just a Cosmic wave in generally is Extremely likely. Hell, we are supposedly getting a Marvel Knights wave this years. However, that wave is more then likely to celebrate Luke Cage, Iron Fist and DD anniversary.

The first GOTG team appeared in 1969 so we have quite a wait still for an anniversary line.

Yeah the attempts at political discussions on here are almost never fruitful and this exact topic has been beaten to death a dozen times over. Anyway, as for that costume choice I'm hoping it means we'll get to see some more modern Guardians in the near future. Still waiting on Gamora in that white suit, and though it's probably a long shot for legal reasons, Bug would be cool as well.

Well I think with the end of the MCU arc it kind of relieves the obligation for Hasbro to put the movie figures ahead of the comic property. The property still has recognition so they could continue with it and hopefully it starts to lean towards the comics like the Avengers waves have. I look forward to seeing a comic based modern Star Lord and let's not forget we still haven't gotten a comic based modern Drax as a regular release. Who'd have thought they'd do a classic version first? Comic forms of Gamora in her armor, Mantis, Nebula and some of the more obscure characters are still to be done. The Guardians still have a lot of gas in it's tank as far as action figure possibilites. As the MCU starts to move towards X-Men and Fantastic Four it think it gives some space for Hasbro to visit these characters and maybe some from the original Guardians lik Starhawk, Martinex Nikki and who doesn't think Charlie-27 would make a great BAF?
