What is the stuff the head is made of?? Looks like Resin from the 90ties, harhar! The overall look is fantastic! Great body details and a good stance. I die for pics of Rocket Racoon!!

It feels just like the rest of the kit (Vinyl I believe) but just in the skin-tone color. Pics of Rocket will be soon!

Man, they are COOL!! Groot is nearly perfect for a plastic kit, Rocket may need some fur refreshment, but thats secondary. The characters are perfectly matched. Great kits!

Here is the larger Rocket Raccoon kit. This one is also Vinyl but the body feels different... the head and arms and legs and tail are all the soft vinyl like most of the other Dragon kits, but the body is a harder hollow Vinyl... reminds me of old Horizon kits a little bit....

Thanks for posting these pics! If my modelling budget hadn't been so totally blown out of the water, I'd at least consider getting Groot and Rocket!

Sure thing! I love all these kits so I will try to post pictures of the kits like this as soon as they arrive at the shop.... the one I am really looking forward to now is their 1/9 Batmobile Tumbler from Dark Knight Rises.... I haven't heard what the price is going to be yet for the model kit version, but, the pre-painted version looks like it is going to be around $400..... but it is so big and cool!
