Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the MCU Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to only two sets in the 2017 wave, making it harder to find than the Vol. 1 or Endgame versions.
Head
Unique molded head in reddish brown. Features a white snout, black nose, and printed bared-teeth smirk. Dark brown 'mask' printing around eyes with white fur highlights.
Torso
Dark Shined Gray/Sand Blue base color. Printed with a Ravager-style flight suit, featuring a dark red collar/scarf, utility pouches, and mesh detailing. Light gray arms and dark gray hands.
Legs
Short fixed legs (non-poseable) in Dark Stone Gray (Dark Gray). No printing.
Accessories
Typically comes with a custom-built oversized blaster and a reddish-brown raccoon tail piece that attaches between the torso and legs. The tail is a specialized mold.
Color Scheme
Reddish Brown, Dark Gray, and Sand Blue. Accents of Dark Red and Silver in the printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The molded head is dual-colored plastic (injection molded brown and white) with fine-detail printing for the eyes and mouth.
Variants
This is the 'Vol. 2' version. Other versions include sh090 (Orange suit), sh122 (Ravager suit w/ Groot), and sh548 (Quantum Realm suit).
Condition Notes
The tail piece often causes a slight gap between torso and legs which can lead to loose clutch power over time. Check the 'ears' and 'nose' of the molded head for paint rub.

Character Background
Rocket Raccoon, a genetically engineered bounty hunter and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Voiced by Bradley Cooper in the MCU.
Design Notes
Uses the smaller scale non-moving legs to represent his stature. The head mold is a proprietary design meant specifically for this character's snout and ear shape.
Similar Minifigures
sh090 Rocket (Orange), sh548 Rocket (White Suit), sh910 Rocket (Blue Vol. 3 Suit).
Collectibility
Moderate to High. As a core member of the Guardians, there is consistent demand, especially for movie-accurate suit variations.
History
Rocket first appeared in LEGO in 2014. This 2017 version updated his color palette to match the darker, more industrial look of the second film's costumes.
Interesting Facts
Despite his small size, Rocket often contains more unique plastic (due to the tail and molded head) than a standard sized human minifigure.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Groot and the Vol. 2 Milano. Use a clear 1x2 brick to elevate him since he cannot sit on studs like full-sized figures.
Modification Potential
The head and tail are frequently used by MOC builders for creating other anthropomorphic 'furry' characters or custom spacers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of the character. The lack of leg printing is a slight drawback compared to newer versions, but the head mold remains iconic.
