Hasbro’s second assortment of 2013 Marvel Legends action figures was initially revealed during the 2013 International Toy Fair in New York City and in its entirety, consists of Marvel’s Wrecking Crew Wrecker, Marvel Knights Punisher, Scarlet Spider, Jean Grey, Modern Hawkeye, and Black Panther. Each action figure within this assortment contains a build-a-figure piece to build your very own Rocket Raccoon. This series began shipping in August 2013.
The Rocket Raccoon character was initially created by artist Keith Giffen and writer Bill Mantlo in the 1970’s. Fast Forward to 2008, he then became a key member of the Guardians of the Galaxy with members consisting of Drax, Gimora, Groot, Iron Man, and Star Lord. Rocket Raccoon is extremely intellectual and is an expert marksman and master tactician. He is mainly known for carrying two laser pistols, but has a love for heavy artillery. Hasbro’s Rocket Raccoon action figure is an all-new sculpt, and, just like Hit Monkey, continues Hasbro’s revamped small-sized build-a-figure inclination.
