An expert in weaponry and the combat strategist for the Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket Raccoon may be the only thing standing between the enemies of the galaxy and the total destruction of the known universe.

This little-yet-lethal genetically modified space menace has a blastin’ good time in this Hasbro rendering of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s infamous bounty hunter and mercenary in the form of ‘Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon’, and has no problem making his presence known with his rumbling and spinning supersized blaster. Push the blaster’s top for various battle sounds and to change the light colour. Then press the fire button to blast the bad guys one-by-one or hold it down for continuous blasting, if more firepower is required. While firing the enormous gun that he holds in his paws, Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon shakes from the recoil in concert with the motion of the blaster, stabilising himself with his tail.

The Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon action figure features:

 • Rocket Raccoon action figure as seen in the movie

 • Blaster’s barrel spins and lights up when the gun is fired

 • Entire figure shakes with recoil and mouth and ears move

 • Pressing the fire button triggers a single blast and holding
   it down causes continuous blasting

 • Pushing the button on the top of the blaster toggles
   between various battle sounds and coloured lights

Features battle sounds and assorted phrases from the movie, including:

“It’s Rocket time!” ; “Locked and loaded!” ; “You gotta be kidding me!” ; “I told you I had a plan.” ; “Groot, we’re gonna be rich.”

Some simple assembly is needed (basically, pushing in the detached tail), but no tools are required. Takes 3 AA batteries.

This highly detailed action figure stands 10 inches (25 cm) tall and sells for around $30 (£20/€26).
