Minimates: Guardians of the Galaxy – Nebula and Sakaar Trooper
Just in time for the upcoming home release of Marvel’s third highest grossing movie of all time, Guardians of the Galaxy (DVD / Blu Ray December 9th), we here at MUReview.net are proud, nay, privileged to bring you a look at the incredible Minimates Guardians of the Galaxy figures!
Nebula
The Good:
- One of my favorite things about Minimates is always just how incredible the paint application is, how fine and clean the lines are. Nebula doesn’t disappoint!
- Facial detail and sharpness are second to none here!
- In Minimate form you can do some really nice “twisting her up” movie style.
The Bad:
- I would have loved to have a Nebula based accessory to set up a more deadly fight between Nebula and Gamora.
Sakaar Trooper
The Good:
- These poor fellows, the throw aways of the movie get a nice treatment here! Excellent facial…non-detail showcases the mysteriousness of the characters they represent.
- Blaster included, and as usual it fits perfectly in hand.
- The level of detail that Diamond Select is able to capture in this scale is absolutely staggering. There are fine paint details that you won’t find on figures in 6 or 12 inch scales!
The Bad:
- I know it probably doesn’t fit marketing mold, but as a collector, here and with the Nova Centurion, I would have loved to see a 2 pack of just the Trooper / Centurion, it’d be fantastic for army building!
- Short of pulling out the pliers I just couldn’t get this helmet off!
Both
The Rest:
- If you loved the movie, get this pack, then go get the rest of the set. Other 2-packs feature Gamora and a Nova Centurion, Ronan and Star Lord, and Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Drax. Keep coming back to MUReview over the course of the next week or so to have a look at all the lovely little pieces!
Availability:
- I really like to give you good folks a place you can actually go to buy this stuff. Always like to give a nod to our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com, but you can’t get em there. Sold out! Can’t send you to Diamond Select, no listed stock. However, good old Toys R Us comes through in a pinch! Available now!
