Earlier this week,Guardians 2directorJames Gunnunveiled the first look at Funko Pop and Dorbz' newEgo the Living Planet toys. With the May 5 release date getting closer by the day, we have even more merchandise photos, this time featuring upcoming LEGO with characters such as Baby Groot and Ayesha, along with a few of the Ravagers. There are three LEGO sets in total here, although it hasn’t been confirmed when these sets will go on sale, or how much they will cost, but those details may be coming soon.
Bleeding Cooloffers our first look at these sets, the first of which is called “Ayesha’s Revenge,” referring toElizabeth Debicki’s character Ayesha. Naturally, we can’t tell from the LEGO set why Ayesha is seeking revenge, but the set also includes Star-Lord, Yondu and Baby Groot mini-figures. Regardless of this “revenge” aspect of the LEGO set, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a revenge aspect in the actual movie.
Ayesha is said to be the main villain inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but it still isn’t clear what her motive for revenge may be at this time. Ayesha was a prominent character in the comics, who was originally known as the Paragon and went by several other aliases such as Kismet, J’Ridia Starduster and Her. She was created by the Enclave in their attempt to bring forth a supernatural being through their Citadel of Science. The organization’s first attempt was “Him,” otherwise known as Adam Warlock, and both later escaped the Enclave and fled to outer space. It isn’t know how she will be utilized in the story.
The second set is entitledRavagerAttack, which features mini-figures for Taserface (Chris Sullivan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). This set also includes a Ravager ship and a tree build as well, but like the previous set, no pricing details or release date has been released at this time. The final set may be the most exciting of the group, which features the most mini-figures and some of the franchise’s most iconic characters.
The third and final LEGO set is entitled he Milano vs. The Abilisk, the gruesome creature we’ve previously seen in theGuardians 2 trailer. Along with the iconic Milano ship and the Abilisk, this set comes with mini-figs for all of the Guardians except Rocket, with Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista) and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel, along with Nebula (Karen Gillan). With all of these mini-figs and the Milano, this could turn out to be quite the coveted LEGO set.
