There aren't many figures for Q. Three characters that could fit are Quicksilver, Quasar, and Quake, but they don't seem to have any recent figures for any of them. Since I obviously have an "S" already, and I had something for "P," even if it sucked, why not fudge a little bit and put Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, as my Q entry? I think he would approve.
The Quill I have is from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I got him for $6 on clearance from Target along with the "Cosmic" Iron Man.
Later I could have got a two-pack with Peter and his dad Ego from the second movie for $12.50. That figure had a little more Chris Pratt-looking head and different coat and T-shirt, but I'm not a big Star-Lord fan so one copy of the figure was enough for me and I really didn't feel like spending $12.50 on an old Kurt Russell figure.
They haven't apparently made any 6-inch versions from the comics before the movies, which tells you how popular he was until the movie.

They gambled going with a lesser known comic for the movie but it certainly paid off. That first figure has nice detail work on the jacket.
Way to snap up those bargains.
