My old Marvel thread was starting to get pretty cumbersome, so I thought I'd start a new one to mark the end of the first 10 years of Marvel movies.
I'm kicking it off with a character for whom I was actually pretty happy with my custom until, after a re-viewing of Infinity War, my daughter asked me "Why's Rocket so chubby?"
Here's my second swipe at Rocket Raccoon, aiming to replicate his look from Infinity War:

This was a complete re-engineering of a non-articulated cake topper I had picked up on a whim. I carved and built joints for the torso, head and arms, then replaced the lower body and legs using a Guardians micro figure (Nova corps) and the arms from an old Superhero Showdown Elektra figure (her hands are his feet). After that I added some pockets and other detail and completely repainted.
Here's a comparison with pre-weight-loss Rocket:

And here's a shot of him with the crew he ran with in Infinity War:
