The Guardians of the Galaxy are on their way back to theaters, so it’s time to get prepared for a litany of new collectibles to hit the market, and yes, that will include plenty of Baby Groot. It will also include lots of Star-Lord, and while it is still early in the year, Hot Toys is setting quite a high bar with their newest collectors figure.

Hot Toys has delivered an incredible likeness to actor Chris Pratt, improving and redesigning the head sculpt from their original Guardians figure. The details on his leather jacket and armor are spot on, and they didn’t scrimp on the accessories either, giving him twin laser pistols, eleven swappable hands, a purple walkman and a cassette tape, and what is perhaps the best accessory of all, a highly detailed Baby Groot that can perch on his shoulder (just like in the trailer).
This version of the figure also comes with an interchangeable masked head, which also comes with LED light up functionality. The figure is in 1/6 scale and is scheduled to release sometime in Q4 2017 to Q1 2018. You can find all of the official specs below and more up-close images of the impressive figure in the gallery.
