Guardians of the Galaxy has proven itself as a box office success, and Hot Toys is keeping on chugging along with their Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy sixth scale figures line! Following up on last week’s three-day sell-out of the Sideshow Exclusive Edition Star-Lord, Hot Toys now turns to the fourth (and only female) member of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Gamora! If you’ve been feeling the need for a 12″ Zoe Saldana, this is your lucky day: the MMS 259 Gamora Hot Toys figure is now up for order!
Guardians of the Galaxy is a firm tie with Iron Man 3 as my second-favorite superhero movie ever (yeah, I said it–Iron Man 3), so Hot Toys has got my full commitment to building the entire Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Masterpiece Series lineup.
Gamora’s hair looks superb with the purple/red hues mixed into it, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the final production version of her hair in person.
While Gamora may look like a simple design from a distance, up-close you can really see how detailed and complicated her attire is. Gamora’s costume with the blue/black gradient pants and the textured boots is actually incredibly complex, and it’s a testament to Hot Toys that they’ve been able to replicate her look from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie so closely.
Gamora may have actually been the most complicated member of the whole Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy lineup to develop, as far as the clothing goes.
In addition, this Gamora figure’s likeness to actress Zoe Saldana is absolutely uncanny. I would have thought I was looking at a screenshot from Guardians of the Galaxy and not a sixth scale action figure if I didn’t know better. Hot Toys is really hitting these likenesses out of the park lately!
In case you didn’t notice it in the photos, Gamora has a real working holster on her hip. If you don’t want to pose her with her sword, she’ll look terrific with the compressed version of her sword safely nestled there. And speaking of Gamora’s swords…
Other than including her prison outfit or red team outfit (and let’s be honest–those are going to be separate figures down the line), I don’t know what else Hot Toys really would have given Gamora.
The Hot Toys Gamora figure is now up for order, and is expected to ship out in Q1/Q2 2015. I’ve got a mountain of Hot Toys figures on order already for next year, but any member of the Guardians of the Galaxy is a must-have and an instant pre-order for me.
What do you think of the token female Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy 12″ figure, Marvel collectors? Will the daughter of Thanos be joining your collection next year (as well as mine), or has Hot Toys failed to ‘wow’ you enough to earn your future dollars?
Seeing as Starlord and Groot and Rocket Raccon ended up having exclusive versions would you anticipate the same for Gamora and Drax?
Nope! There very well may be an exclusive Gamora later on with her prison/team outfit(s), but this first standard version won’t have any exclusive edition.
Not the biggest fan, but if they release the GOTG in red team suits then I’ll probably buy them.
