Awesome Guardians Of The Galaxy

Drop what you’re doing right now, and press play. Then press it again. Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Baby Groot are back and ready to blow up the box office (and everything else in sight). The only thing not to like: we have to wait until May 2017 to see the whole movie.

Our favorite rag-tag space crew gets the Telltale treatment, with an upcoming series of adventure games done in the award winning game studio’s trademark style. The teaser gives us nothing, but we’re still stoked to play when it hits in 2017.

The first teaser for next summer’s big sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy gives us only the tiniest glimpse at what to expect, but we’re still stoked for the return of our favorite motley space crew. We only wish they’d have teased what was on Awesome Mix Vol. 2.

Tested visited Quantum Mechanix’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con to look at the toymaker’s upcoming spaceship scale models. The highlight of the booth is definitely the cutaway Millennium Falcon, but the Star Trek Beyond ship and Star-Lord’s Milano are awesome too.

Not only is it awesome that Chris Pratt will spend time with a lucky fan on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but he’s also been kind enough to share a bit of what they can expect. Or not. Donate on Omaze to support a great cause and for a chance to win.

Marvel is releasing animated shorts about the origin stories of the Guardians of the Galaxy to promote their upcoming Disney XD TV show. First up are Star-Lord and Groot. They don’t exactly reveal much, but they’re still fun to watch.

The ultimate tee for Chris Pratt fans envisions a world in which the superstar tames velociraptors from the comfort of his Star-Lord helmet. We’re betting that an infinity stone would have made quick work of Indominus Rex.

While the ’70s-infused soundtrack of Guardians of the Galaxy is one of our all-time favorites, Mike Relm took his edit in a more modern direction, creating a fun electronic remix made primarily from sounds bites sampled from the movie.

Honest Trailers reminds us just how silly the concept was for what somehow became the most fun and popular movie of 2014. When you really think about it, the premise sounds like something that should have been a box office flop.

Video editor and game developer James Covenant wishes you a very Marvel Christmas with this funny edit. Watch as he makes it seem like Cap, Iron Man, their friends and foes sing Christmas carols, with a special guest at the end.

How It Should Have Ended points out the many ways that Guardians of the Galaxy could have turned out differently, from that unchecked slave in The Collector’s office to Ronan not being duped by Star Lord’s silly gambit.

It’s official. Disney will release a limited edition replica of the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1 cassette tape. It will be exclusive to Record Store Day outlets from 11/28 to 12/31 and will come with a digital copy of the album.

You can already get Peter Quill’s Awesome Mix Vol. 1 on vinyl, but Mondo’s variant comes with Tyler Stout’s sweet sleeve art as well as a screen-printed handbill. Still have your Walkman? Wait for the literal mixtape.

By taking one of those stupid Movin’ & Groovin’ flowers and replacing the daisy with felt and twine, Patrick Delahanty created the ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy toy that geeks want now. Sadly, you can’t buy one – at least not yet.
