Staycation in Style: Hasbro's Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon Action Mask Provides Tons Of Fun For Kids

The reviews for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are coming out, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say it’s supposed to be a knockout. However, what’s even more surprising is that the star of the movie is a talking raccoon. Let me repeat – a TALKING RACCOON. Aptly named Rocket Raccoon and voiced by Bradley Cooper, his character is funny, crude, crass, touching, and irreverent all at once. As such, it’s not surprising that he’s already become a huge hit with adults and kids, even before the movie’s out. I mean, who doesn’t want a talking raccoon of their own, right? It’s like all of her childhood fantasies come to life, except in the most zany way possible.

Hasbro already has several Guardians-themed items on sale, and one of their most popular items is the Rocket Raccoon mask for kids. My six-year-old nephew Jayden just received the mask, and he absolutely LOVES it. He’s always running around with the mask, pretending to be Rocket Raccoon and jumping out at people. The mask is extremely high-quality and I’m already foreseeing a huge jump in demand for Guardians toys and gifts after the movie comes out, so trust me – this mask is a great investment. When your kid sees the movie, he [or she] is going to come out loving Rocket Raccoon more than any of the other character, and they’re going to want this mask. Plus, it’s a great price for a long-lasting and durable product that has so far survived all of Jayden’s outings.

Besides, the mask is also super cool. Honestly, I tried it out a couple of times, and I actually enjoyed wearing it. It’s not suffocating and doesn’t block your peripheral vision completely, unlike other toy masks. It’s also pretty strong and well crafted, and as I mentioned, has withstood some pretty tough wear and tear from Jayden’s playing. Also, we lucked out in getting the product early, but now that the buzz for the movie is building, I’m guessing Hasbro is only going to raise the prices – especially as the stocks of the product depletes. So if you’re waiting on buying it, trust me – don’t. Just buy it now, and then surprise your kid with the gift. They will love it – and you – for buying it for them. And when you see the movie, you might want one for yourself – that’s how awesome Rocket Raccoon is.
