Yondu (Marvel Legends Series 3.75")

Yondu Udonta is a native from the planet Centauri-IV who encountered Vance Astro just before the Badoon invaded his homeworld and starting the pair on the path to founding the Guardians of the Galaxy along with Martinex and Charlie-27. Yondu is the only extra-solar being in the original quartet.  His bow fires arrows made of "yaka" a sound sensitive material that allows Yondu to change the trajectory of his arrows by whistling. These little figures are decently articulated but can be finicky to pose. Luckily Yondu was pretty stable.







Now THAT's a head fin! 

The original Guardians were freedom fighters inspired by legends of Captain America in their fight against the invading Badoon.





The mohawk fin goes back to his first appearance in 1969 along with the notion that the Centaurians were analogues to the indigenous peoples of North America. Which is neither the best nor the worst depiction of native people in media.






"Phweet!"


also sometimes "Screee!"







Apparently the universe shrinks a bit over a 1000 years.
