Stop What You’re Doing and Pre-Order This Adorable Rocket Raccoon Pop!

Okay, I think that we can all agree that Shiva’s Funko Pop! from The Walking Dead was probably the most delightful animal Pop! we’ve seen this year, but Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy has finally arrived and he’s giving her some stiff competition. He’s the most dangerous and smartass raccoon in the galaxy and now you can have all of this sarcasm and edge right in your home. Check him out below!

While he’s not going on sale until November, you can pre-order Rocket now at Entertainment Earth. As a genetically modified raccoon, Rocket has helped Peter Quill and the rest of the Guardians during the first two installments of Gaurdians of the Galaxy by bringing his heavy artillery and tactical skills with him on every mission. He recently teamed up with Thor during Infinity War as well and despite Thor consistently referring to him as a rabbit, the two made quite a team.

In addition to Rocket, Funko Pop! also announced a cool looking Pop PEZ line, which will kick things off with Marvel superheroes and villains. On the PEZ roster at the moment are Deadpool, Magneto, Cable, Thor, Hulk, Loki, Star-Lord, Yondu, and the man, the myth, the legend – Stan Lee.
