Isn’t that Infinity War Rocket? We do need a 6” Endgame Rocket though. Nobody seems to be making one which is just blowing my mind. I don’t even care if it’s SHF or Hasbro at this point, I just need my Rocket.

I was thinking the same thing. I was almost certain at one time that they were going to do some sort of Endgame 3 pack with Rocket, Carbo Challenged Thor (can't call him fat & I refuse to call him Bro) and Anti-Climactic Hulk (seriously, did he even throw a punch?), which were all in need of specific sculpts. The only hickup with that is whether they would do them to match the other figures that are inaccurate or would they do them in proper colors? I understand the conundrum on Hasbro's part, but I think they're making a mistake by ignoring it altogether. People are gonna be spending $50+ on SHF and MAFEX versions just to get them and Hasbro is gonna miss out on those sales, cuz $50 vs $20 for basically the same figure, there's really no argument to make. That's the biggest downfall for having exclusive access to the concept art. Sure, your product is out first, but many times it's incorrect. Still, the demand is there for those Quantum suited Avengers and Hasbro's leaving it on the table for these overpriced 3rd parties to lap up. Honestly (and probably sadly) I think if Hasbro would re-release the Hawkeye & Black Widow 2 pack in the correct colors (and include the Captain America head sculpt) and then do a Rocket, Thor & Hulk 3 pack they would cash in big time. If they really wanted to cash in they could release a single pack Cap/IM figure on a larger buck and really make some waves. Just my personal thoughts on the matter. I really do hate to see fans have to resort to these over priced, overrated and pretty damn flimsy imports to complete their displays.

I couldn’t agree more. I feel like Hasbro’s never disappointed me so much as with their offerings for Endgame. I mean, there are literally so many characters in that movie that look exactly like they did in previous movies that Hasbro could even just make a series of 2-packs with one brand new figure and one repack and it would be worthwhile while still making them money. I mean who wouldn’t want a rerelease of Mantis, or IW Doctor Strange, or even Drax and Nebula? There’s so many figures we don’t have from the biggest movie ever, where are the Endgame versions of Rocket, Captain Marvel, Nebula, War Machine MK 6, etc? That’s not even mentioning the redos they need to do, Rescue with more accessories, final battle Thor, Cap and Tony, Hulk in his jumpsuit, normal versions of Black Widow and Hawkeye. Also your point about the quantum suits is so valid it hurts. One of the coolest looks of the movie is severely underrepresented by everyone except Hot Toys. My only hope is that Hasbro realized they did the suits wrong, and so didn’t release Hulk, Rocket, Thor and War Machine. I really hope we get repainted versions of the two suits they’ve already done, along with those 4. They did a pretty decent job with IW, why can’t they do Endgame right?

Same IW Groot that SHF previously displayed last year so nothing new regarding that fig. & who knows when/if it will ever be issued. Rocket pictured in the display is the IW version that SHF previously released last year so no idea why they are calling it an Endgame version.
