I found them at my Target! It is so nice to find stuff at retail again. A few Walmarts are restocking 3.75 inch. In spite of the few reveals at Toy Fair things seem to be looking better.

Great find man. Thanks!

I ordered both and two of the Guardians set. That got me free shipping. And promo SPRING17 got 15% off. Can't be mad about new Marvel at $8 per figure

Like the Star-Lord, even if he seems a bit large for the scale. Also pictured here with the Jurassic World head.

I noticed that height thing. He dwarfs Yondu.

My short-term solution was to swap legs on them.

Works well enough until I can figure out something more permanent.

I got Cap with motorcycle on clearance. He has a larger height issue as well.

Yeah, that was tougher to fix. I ended up cutting through his waist and trimming down the torso before reattaching everything and covering the seam with the belt.

Here's how he measures up post-mods (which also included a new head and some arm shortening) next to my favorite modified Iron Man (lengthened his legs a bit) and an unmodded Civil War Black Panther:

Here he is next to Starlord after the leg-swap I mentioned above:

And here's shorter Starlord with my custom Gamora (built on a RoC Scarlett base) and modded Drax (using MU Bishop lower legs):

I'll be painting Starlord's crotch to match his legs eventually.

On my Drax I first tried Beta Ray Bills logs but then I got a second Rage figure and ended up using those.

I realized I could've just used the Rage legs as-is AFTER I'd finished swapping and painting the Bishop ones.

:rant:

But that's okay. I'd been meaning to do something to take some height off of Bishop, anyway. He was as tall as Colossus, which made no sense to me. So I swapped on 25th Viper legs and am pretty happy with where he stands now:

I've been kind of obsessive about relative figure height lately.

Even trimmed down the calves on nearly all of my post-new-buck MU figures to be more realistically proportioned.

I got the Yondu/Star-Lord pack......Yondu has a holster but doesn't come with anything to put in it?

Goldbug, thanks for the interesting theory. Another empty holster from stupid Hasbro.

Scarlett's arrow from the Spy Troops era seems to fit really well. http://www.yojoe.com/access/d02/84.shtml

Spin - I've been obsessing about height for a while now. I've gone so far as to print a scale accurate height chart.

That said, my Star-Lord fix, involved a torso-swap. I took a Renegades Law and used the new Star-Lord arms and legs
