Marvel Select Gamora and Rocket Guardians of the Galaxy plus Fixes

If you're keeping score, the Marvel Select Guardians of the Galaxy team is batting .500 for me. Star-Lord, not so great but Groot was amazing. Well, add Gamora and Rocket to the awesome list. Gamora is great and Rocket is even better after a major yet simple fix.

[@N3SNUTT]

Says in Crocodile Dundee voice "now that's a knife!"

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

[@HENRYGAUL]

Another great review man. Can't wait to get my set.

[@SpoonDude]

Seems to me Rocket is the star of this pack! As a primarily 6 inch collector, I kinda want to just get this with Groot and hope I can sorta shove Gamora on the back of the shelf maybe next to Groot so she doesn't stand out too much.

[@TheFwoosh]

I love the Rocket, but when it came down to it I took more pics of Gamora, but she also has a lot more options and is really a nice figure. But Rocket is Rocket...

[@NitroCigarette]

Godddd dammit I just want this Gamora as a Legends figure...

[@TheFwoosh]

It could probably be done with a little leg shortening, maybe another head. I think the torso and arms can be fudged into ML scale. That probably doesn't help much...

[@christianreyes2613]

+The Fwoosh Great video Robo

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks!

[@WebVManReturns]

I want the Titans figure as a Legends figure.

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

The Fwoosh hey robo have you tried rocking gamora's guns with the Hasbro cable? I'm thinking about picking this up

[@mrjoshchung]

Wow Great review man! Very honest opinions on the whole set, and that Rocket Knee Fix was so helpful. Thanks and keep it up!

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks, I'm glad you dug it!

[@posableproductions5640]

Thanks for the heads up on that Rocket fix!

[@TheFwoosh]

No problem, glad I could help!

[@Ultrazilla]

These two look very, very nice. I'm so tempted by this set right now.

[@TheFwoosh]

Gamora is cool but I don't see anyone beating this Rocket.

[@mikec1554]

I like this guy. I collect larger scale figures but it's relaxing watching this stuff. subbed.

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@jav13erven0mous7]

Recently I acquire these Two! and for me the rocket legs din't look to bad, BUT thanks to your tutorial now he can pose better and even with the tail in the air standing in he's two little paws!! (it works! and it works, veeery well if you have enough patience) So now thanks to your video my rocket is much more possable BIG thanks for that!!

[@TheFwoosh]

No problem my friend, glad I could help!

[@andten100]

they should've had rocket as a pack in with groot

[@Thee_Deputy]

E D G Y they had to pack him with Gamora since she would sell fewer without him

[@jalenbrown4062]

It makes sense since rocket and groot are best buddies

[@tamagokun]

Another great review Robo. Nice catch on the dog leg issue with Rocket. I think this Gamora could work in a Legends display if posed properly.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, a little crouching, a little hiding, and it seems like she would fit in okay.

[@prophet924]

Thanks for the leg fix. Rocket is superb! I like the Gamora. Both she and Drax have really long legs. But I as you say, am really digging these Guardians. Just waiting on Quill now. I want to complete the base. I may use the Quill but he not ad cool as the Hasbro figures.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, but using the Hasbro figure with these will make him seem really small. I need to get to Drax and mix and match, see what works.

[@EZCompanyCollectibles]

lol, it's so tiny and CUTE! I said cute...damnit I said CUTE!

[@TheFwoosh]

Cute is perfectly acceptable! He IS cute!

[@rektangular]

Great review as always! I am so excited to get my two favorite characters in my favorite costumes for them. I am pretty sure Steve McNiven was the first one to draw the characters in these costumes. Just a friendly reminder that Marvel Select cost $25 and not $20 like you keep saying.

[@TheFwoosh]

True, but I used a 25% off coupon when I ordered them, plus free shipping, so it worked out to about $20 a piece. POWERUP still works for the same deal.

[@ParadoxMysteries]

Nice review, I want to get them and try customizing Gamora into Domino to go with select Cable.

[@TheFwoosh]

Ooooo, the hair would totally work. That's a great idea!

[@WebVManReturns]

She'd make a great She-Hulk, too.

[@graefx]

This is my preferred look for Gamora, so I'm stoked. Really could have done with Rocket getting an open mouth head or jaw hinge though. I won't complain, I think I'll be pleased ripping these open this weekend.

[@TheFwoosh]

I would have been down for an articulated jaw but if they really have to keep to a certain amount of articulation they totally used up that amount in the body. It's insane how much articulation they stuffed into this small of a figure. And I even completely forgot about the tail that's on a hinge and swivel.

[@graefx]

+The Fwoosh At this point I'm just nitpicking lol. If it wasn't for the variety offered from ML, I'd stick with select. The paint, sculpt, and now articulation all for a great price.

[@graefx]

Did the trick to turn Rocket's legs around and this set has become one of my favorite figures in a while. I lucked out with a pretty solid paint job too. Rocket is just too much fun, and can actually get him to balance without the tail kickstand. This is the Gamora I've always wanted. Now, the only accessory I would have liked would have been a third big ass gun for Rocket, preferably a two handed BFG.

[@viniidalgo9065]

Can Rocket hold Gamora's big-ass gun? These figures look too awesome, I think I'll pick them all up, except for Star Lord. Also, Rocket's head kind of reminds me of Cap Wolf's head, lol.

[@TheFwoosh]

Heh, now that you said it, it's does look like Cap Wolf. But no, Rocket can't hold the big rifle, his arms don't stretch that far.

[@cdogcdog4814]

Yah bro I like the review (ur ? @the end:) Alot! Your reviews are always well detailed of how the toy works and that's exactly what I'm always looking for. Plus u added special effects. But was the last shot of all of them your picture? It looked it but I thought I heard u say you were waiting for a package at the time you were shooting it. Definitely the best Rocket we have to date! And Gamora.has cool outer leg swing fot high kicks, and her finger over the trigger is good attention to detail on Diamonds part.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, the last pic is mine, I haven't opened Drax yet. I was going to review him and then Gamora and Rocket showed up and I was much more excited for them.

[@cdogcdog4814]

The Fwoosh Yea I figured it out after I slept for no apparent reason. I just was eating breakfast, IIRC, & thought to myself "Doh! Editing!".. "He shot the video then later added in pics of them all together" i said to myself. Im not even sure why that popped in my head. Maybe because it was a stupid question but it WAS late as hell when I watched it though possible 3am. lack of a brain at that hour I guess :P

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, no worries, I didn't even think about it when you asked. Editing has become so second nature that I don't even think about it anymore.

[@cdogcdog4814]

The Fwoosh Speaking of editing I mostly review Transformers and although Im light handed, im really pretty dope at Transforming them, as well as shooting it up close, making sure it's in the shot & see it clearly at all times and ALWAYS keep in focus in HD. I like to film the transformation from start, strait thru to finish. I had to learn to film strait through the entire review, bc my 1st phone/camera wouldn't let me pause. So I still keep that same style of reviewing down pat where I film transformation video instructions strait through. But I do add cuts now to unneeded parts just not during the transformation instructional. Really quite quick, easy to follow/good at it, you should check me out sometime. Videos like my MP-33 Masterpiece Inferno review I did few days back is a great example! I been on YT reviewung since mid 2015 put up 430+ videos since then, with about 130k views total. Im working at it. *ANYWAYS what I wanted to ask* do u happen to know any specific KZbinr that teaches editing through videos, that's clear to follow, and easy to hear/understand? I have never used a editing program before nor do I know how. it be good to know of your aware of such a person.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm not sure about editing tutorials but I hadn't touched an editing program before getting into this crazy thing but it didn't take long to pick it up. All I can suggest is don't go crazy and pay for an expensive program, at least not at first. I do most of mine on Cyberlink Powerdirector 15, I think it was like $50 on Amazon. Clean cuts.

[@WanZerReVieW]

Just want to say Robo this video really help me out I have a channel as well and I definitely shouted you out and put your link in my description I definitely appreciate the info on this rocket figure greatly. Keep it up bro👍🏽

[@TheFwoosh]

Glad I could help out! I think it takes the figure from being a little awkward to being my favorite so far. Well, neck and neck with Groot.

[@WanZerReVieW]

Most Definitely does. I'm still on the fence with groot because i really like my comic Groot from the marvel legends EE exclusive

[@KingInBlack24]

Just picked up the TRU exclusive Groot, Nova, Angela, and Star Lord earlier. Not very often do I find everything I'm looking for lol

[@TheFwoosh]

I grabbed Star-Lord, Yondu, and Drax, I just need to hunt down the Groot. But mostly for the potted and kid Groots.

[@KingInBlack24]

The Fwoosh Lol I got lucky, my Toys R Us had like 30 Groots

[@curtisgangler5855]

nice review. I'd been waiting to see this one. unfortunately it seems Gamora will be to big for a legends GOTG team but I do want it mainly for Rocket Raccoon. Is it me or does Gamoras uniform kinda resemble a female Stormtrooper or Clonetrooper hmm possible some customizers could cobble up something cool out of that :)

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, don't go tempting me with that. But think of it as a Rocket with a Gamora pack-in, the Rocket is too good to pass up if you're interested in it.

[@charlesblack1491]

Jeezzz dude I can't wait to finally get this set but especially these two. I'm curious to also see how Select is going to handle their movie Rocket considering how well this one came out. Also do you think it's possible to head swap that comic Legends Rocket you have with this Select one?

[@TheFwoosh]

I was afraid to pop the Select Rocket's head because of how small the socket looks around the neck ball, but I may end up doing it to increase the ROM so I'll see how close they are. And yeah, I'm probably going to break down and get the Select movie GotG figures too, can't help myself.

[@charlesblack1491]

The Fwoosh it's funny because actually that particular Legends Rocket head doesn't fit. I saw it another video. However the Legends baf Rocket fits perfectly. The color just doesn't match up, but the jaw articulation adds so much more character to the figure. Just a quick repaint and it's perfect. I gotta see if I can order that baf on ebay somehow lol.

[@dobi287]

yup rockets legs are a qc problem I noticed on another guys review too. I bet they all have backward legs

[@dobi287]

Haha he's REALLY got "double jointed" knees XD

[@TheFwoosh]

I actually can't believe how much articulation they stuffed into those tiny legs, it's kind of amazing.

[@TheCristoSilva]

Dammit Robo! I really wanted to see this compared to both Star Lord legends

[@TheFwoosh]

I was waiting for Drax before doing any mixing and matching, plus two figure videos always take more time, I didn't want to make it longer than it already was. Don't worry, that's coming.

[@KingOfHalla]

I like this Gamora... I think I might need that.

[@TheFwoosh]

And the Rocket is awesome too.

[@KingOfHalla]

I need to stop binging your reviews; I'm spending money weeks in advance. Haha. Preordered Gamora and Nebula and bookmarked this Gamora on BBTS AND I'm trying to find an Angela now. HA.

[@TheFwoosh]

Tarv Is Haha, welcome to my nightmare! Or plastic dreams....

[@KingOfHalla]

On top of that I'm sitting here thinking about grabbing the Star Lords, if just to put one of the new, better heads, on the old body.

[@WebVManReturns]

Gamora would make for an awesome custom PN-03 figure.

[@beezer387]

i have the same issue with my rocket definitely going to fix

[@TheFwoosh]

It works so much better after the fix.

[@Wkitchen82]

I AM SO GETTING THIS SET!!!

[@TheFwoosh]

Do it, besides Star-Lord needing fixes I'm loving it so far.

[@Spikey100000]

You absolutely don’t need to use the tail as a stand, just spread the legs wider (a la comics and ML releases) and use that ankle rocker

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

XD To me its buying Rocket w/ Gamora as the added pack in figure. I only really want the Rocket but that Gamora is pree nice aswell

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, there ya go. I dig the Gamora but I really, really like the Rocket.

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

I mean the only real thing I dislike is Gamora having pupils XD I like her more w/ whited out eyes, might get this and paint her eyes blank white

[@Danny00732]

marvel legends angela and marvel select gamora fit both well in scale

[@TheFwoosh]

Sweet, I may have to pick up Angela. Is she a Guardians member? I've seen people put her in with them.

[@Danny00732]

The Fwoosh I'm not 100% percent sure but she has teamed up with gamora several times. It's nice though because in the comics gamora wears this costume and angela wears the the exact same one she's wearing in her recent release

[@en_sabah_nerd]

Awesome review. Thank you

[@TheFwoosh]

You're welcome!

[@avengervastey]

Good review

[@eyes4power]

Good job again Robo, another figure on order. Keep up the great work, and thank you for finding something useful to spend that annoying paper that accumulates in my wallet!

[@TheFwoosh]

It only makes your wallet thicker and more painful to sit on when you're driving or watching movies in a theater. That seems like as good a reason as any, right?

[@VJ-ss7il]

Does every single one come with the fucked up rocket legs

[@WanZerReVieW]

Victor Jard yes

[@WanZerReVieW]

Victor Jard thanks to this video I was able to fix my rocket in two minutes

[@analslingshot6654]

hi and awesome review

[@lukeowalk]

10/10 profile pic

[@WanZerReVieW]

Well they really messed up on rocket

[@aaronmauer7225]

To me groot and rocket were th highlights of the team

[@TheFwoosh]

They are definitely my favorites so far.

[@davidmartin7395]

that suit gamora has looks like a quantum realm suit

[@larklan7054]

I just got mine in the mail fwoosh. No loose joints on anybody. Maybe you got a crappy starlord :/

[@TheFwoosh]

Could be. I've heard from people that got loose ones, and people who got good ones. It may be just luck of the draw, I can only review what I'm given though. I'm defintiely going to fix him though, given how much I love the rest of the figures.

[@jakethecollector1516]

maybe it's just me but I find they sometimes give the female characters important pieces, another ex: hasbro Rey with bb8. maybe to help sell the figures and keep them off the pegs?

[@TheFwoosh]

I think it's more that the females are a bit smaller, using less plastic, so they can afford the cost and space to add in extras like more weapons and little characters.

[@jakethecollector1516]

Yeah, true

[@WebVManReturns]

...The metal, the cloth....the figure with the fur.... The girl in the green with the breasts on her.... I hit the store.... Next you thing you know, I was buying them for a price that was low, low, low....

[@TheFwoosh]

I dig that rhyme, glad you grabbed them! Are they on sale at the moment?

[@kostasrgts2526]

Damn you now I want to buy the whole wave! My wallet will not forgive you for making me spend all that money in plastic!!!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I'm a plastic pusher!

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

Kostas Hawkeye me too😒💸

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

The Fwoosh great that you caught the backwards leg on Rocket and the easy fix. Looks totally better.

[@kostasrgts2526]

Yes you are, and we are plastic receivers and money spenders!!

[@okay6109]

Oh so rocket is basically an accessory for gamora now huh yeah not on my watch! Equal rights for raccoon alien science things!

[@TheFwoosh]

So you wanna pay $24 for a Rocket sized action figure? Because that's what they'd do, haha.

[@Brian-mi5kg]

are you doing okay? you seemed really shaky today

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I was wondering if anyone would notice. Yesterday morning I was busy, too busy to actually eat anything, which always makes me a little shaky. Then to add to that I had clipped my fingernails which is always a bad idea before doing any customizing. Between pulling knee pads, popping the thigh off the knee (which was unnecessary), and prying stiff fingers open to shove weapons in I probably stabbed myself under the thumbnails 4 or 5 times, still sore. So hunger and pain and excitement about fixing Rocket, haha. Oh, and getting old....

[@dannybrock5896]

I'm selling the whole set for 90
