Hasbro Hasbro will bring the world of Guardians of the Galaxy to life with a new toy line featuring electronic figures, role-play items, and a galaxy’s worth of spaceships and aliens. Kids can recreate the excitement of the film with the Pursuit Spacecrafts set, based on spacecrafts from the film. Each of the three vehicles features a surprise reveal battle mode and comes with a 2.5-inch scale pilot figure from the film. The assorted ships are compatible with all of the 2.5-inch scale figures in the Battle Gear Two-Pack line. The Battle FX Star-Lord Action Figure stands 12 inches tall and is ready to lead the team with a light-up mask, authentic movie voice and sound effects, signature battle blasters, and accessories. The breakout character of the film comes to life in toy form in Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon, a feature-packed 8-inch electronic action figure. Rocket Raccoon’s signature weapon spins and lights up at the press of a button, and the action figure reacts with electronic movements, lights, voice, and sounds. Hasbro’s line of role-play items for the latest superhero flick includes a Galaxy StarLord Role Play set, which includes a mask and a blaster that fires Nerf darts up to 40 feet. In addition, the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon Action Mask features a mouth, eyebrows, and ears that kids can move themselves for a realistic look. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, these products will be available in July. Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon
