When Kidrobot announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 that they’d be releasing a Rocket Raccoon Marvel Labbit, The Blot got so freaking excited! Who wouldn’t want a 7” Labbit of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s second in command!?! Unfortunately, I feel like this release is a big missed opportunity. While the life-like poseable tail is a nice touch, I’d much rather have seen a giant vinyl blaster! And what’s with the color? This bright red vinyl seems so random and not character accurate, which is really disappointing because I wanted to like/buy this Marvel designer vinyl figure.
A genetically engineered anthropomorphic raccoon, Rocket's DNA has been spliced into Labbit for a truly trans-galactic toy experience. Selected specifically for his high butt-kickery cell count that meshes perfectly with Labbit's own roguish nano-structure, the Rocket Raccoon Labbit sports a real faux fur tail and doubles down on pure 'tude. The Frank Kozik x Marvel x Kidrobot Rocket Raccoon 7” Labbit is currently available at Kidrobot.com and specialty stores worldwide for $49.99.
