Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Chaka

Ask and you shall receive! Marvel Studios’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ has spent the last few months blowing up the box office to become both the biggest movie of the year and the third highest grossing Marvel movie of all time (trailing only behind ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Iron Man 3’)! WHile there has been plenty of ‘Guardians’ merchandise littering store shelves all summer, the fans have been crying out for more, and the team at Dragon Model’s seems more than happy to oblige! Dragon Model’s recently revealed their plans for a new line of ‘Guardians’ model kits that will be pre-painted and easily ready to snap together so that you can have them ready to display within moments of opening them!

While the lineup announced so far includes a Groot with Rocket Raccoon model Kit and a larger Rocket Raccoon with a small Baby Groot accessory, the one most people seem excited for is the all new 7’inch tall Baby Groot model kit, which looks to be in scale with the character as seen in his now infamous dance-sequence at the end of the film! These are expected to release in November!
