Awesome Guardians Of The Galaxy

Come and Get Your Love A Cappella

Come and Get Your Love A Cappella

To celebrate the release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, musician and producer Jared Halley performed a wonderful a cappella version of Redbone’s 1973 hit Come and Get Your Love. Jared’s multi-layered approach gives added depth to an already great song.

Sculpting Rocket Raccoon

Sculpting Rocket Raccoon

If we had to pick our favorite character from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, it would have to be Rocket Racoon. So we loved watching this video from artist Steven Richter building a picture-perfect sculpture of the furry little badass. Every detail is there, from his sad brown eyes to his boop-able nose.

We knew James Gunn couldn’t do the final Guardians movie without Zoe Saldaña. So Gamora is back, only she’s an alt-timeline version who couldn’t give a damn about Peter Quill. We’ll also learn about Rocket’s devastating origins, meet the powerful Adam Warlock, and the nefarious High Evolutionary. GoG3 hits theaters 5.3.23.

Disney’s Groot Robot

Disney’s Groot Robot

Engineers at Walt Disney Imagineering have been working on animatronic robots which can walk on their own for a while now. As part of their Project Kiwi initiative, they created a walking version of Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. He needs a safety tether at present but is still an impressive creation.

Carving Baby Groot

Carving Baby Groot

Groot is made from wood and leaves, so it only makes sense that a sculpture of Baby Groot should be made from the real deal. Lignum started out with the stump of an old catalpa tree, and proceeded to sculpt it into Guardians of the Galaxy’s adorable little dude.

Add some green to your desk with this cute planter that looks like a bust of Baby – Adolescent? – Groot. It’s about 7″ tall and is partially handmade, so no two pots will be exactly alike. You can also use it to store pens, cards and utensils.

Hot Toys keeps raising the bar for head sculpts. Their 12″ action figure of Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 looks exactly like Michael Rooker. It’s a shame it doesn’t come with extra heads. It does have the team’s jet pack, both of Yondu’s fins, his trusty arrow and more.

HISHE: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

HISHE: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

How It Should Have Ended blows up the ending of Guardians 2, as Baby Groot kills everyone, Darth Vader drops by to give some daddy advice, Ego gets his way, and Mary Poppins is real. Also, literal Taserface is so much cooler.

Guardians Inferno

Guardians Inferno

“That weird thing by his side an infantilized sequoia. The two of them walk by, people say “Oh boy-a!”” David Hasselhoff, director James Gunn and the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 went full ’70s in this madcap music video for the film’s end credits song.

Beast Kingdom’s trademark Egg Attack figures have an oversized head and cartoony proportions, making the series perfect for Peter Quill’s larger-than-life personality. The 6″ tall figure has 30 joints, and comes with both masked and unmasked faces. Drops 11/29/2017.

Making Gamora’s Godslayer

Making Gamora’s Godslayer

Man at Arms: Reforged made a replica of the Godslayer, the weapon of choice of Gamora, the assassin-turned-Guardian of the Galaxy. While the Godslayer’s fictional version has a detachable knife, Man at Arms chose to make it a layered but fixed piece for stability.

I Am Cuuuute! Hot Toys’ Baby Groot action figure stands just over 10″ tall, the same size as our favorite floral colossus as he appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He comes with two extra heads, two pairs of hands and a removable onesie.

Guardians of the Galaxy: A Brief History

Guardians of the Galaxy: A Brief History

You may think you know the Guardians of the Galaxy, but if your only point of reference is the movies, you’ll be surprised to find out that Star-Lord, Rocket, Gamora, Drax, and Groot didn’t even appear in the earliest issues of the comics. The Know fills us in on their origins.

GotG Awesome Mix Vol. 2

GotG Awesome Mix Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn recently revealed the full list of songs that are in the cassette tape that Star-Lord’s mom left him. Eric Buckleitner compiled them into a YouTube playlist, while Redditor ilikegamesandstuff made a Spotify playlist.

GoG Vol. 2 Weird Trailer

GoG Vol. 2 Weird Trailer

If the motley cast of misfits in the Guardians of the Galaxy universe weren’t strange enough, please to enjoy Aldo Jones‘ latest Weird Trailer, in which Gamora has an awesome shark gun, Quinn can’t control his muscles, and neither Rocket nor Drax can keep their pants on.

GotG x Telltale (Trailer)

GotG x Telltale (Trailer)

The Guardians of the Galaxy find an artifact of “unspeakable power.” Unfortunately, Thanos the Mad Titan is after the thingamajig too. Even more unfortunate, our lovable bunch of a-holes each have their own reason to keep the artifact for themselves.

Guardians Vol. 2 (Trailer)

Guardians Vol. 2 (Trailer)

“All you do is yell at each other. You’re not friends.” Groot says hi, Gamora channels Marvel vs. Capcom, Drax kills a spaceship, Rocket laughs maniacally, and Peter meets someone special in the first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Avengers: Infinity War (First Look)

Avengers: Infinity War (First Look)

Marvel rings the bell for the hype train with a short interview with the cast and crew of Avengers: Infinity War. The two-part film is the culmination of nearly a decade of after credit-scenes. Seriously though we hope they can make Thanos interesting.

Guardians Vol. 2 (Super Bowl Spot)

Guardians Vol. 2 (Super Bowl Spot)

The 60-second extended ad spot for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 gives us more Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Yondu, Rocket, and Baby Groot, along with a little facetime with Mantis, and more than an inkling that Fleetwood Mac will make the soundtrack this time.

The Dark Side of Star-Lord

The Dark Side of Star-Lord

For many of us, the Guardians of the Galaxy movie is the only context we have for its characters. But if you look back at the comics, it turns out that Peter Quill isn’t always the goofball scoundrel we saw on the big screen, and is actually a bit of a dick.
