For today’s review, I’m taking a look at a fun collectible from the 2017 hit movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. For this movie, Diamond Select Toys once again teamed up with Marvel for a series of Minimates based on the characters from the movie. Check out the video below and then continue down for close up pics of the Minimates.

Included in the specialty/ comic book store release are four 2-packs: Star-Lord/ Yondu, Gamora/ Rocket with Groot, Taserface/ Mantis, and Ego/ Ayesha. Notably missing from this assortment is Drax, who is in the Toys ‘R’ Us assortment packed in with Nebula.

Each 2-pk comes with display stands for the characters (minus the mini Groot) and most come with accessories. The Ego/ Ayesha 2-pk comes with no additional accessories aside from any special clothing pieces. Featuring roughly 14-pts of articulation each, all of the parts of the Minimates are interchangeable… so if you wanted to make a half Rocket, half Star-Lord hybrid you could.

Here are shots of what each 2pk comes with:

Overall, a somewhat decent assortment. I am not a fan of the lack of accessories with some of the characters, and Taserface is a weak inclusion into the series. However, I understand the need to sometimes fill in the series with these movie-centric packs.

Special thanks to Diamond Select for sending these over for me to review.
