Everywhere I've seen this info, it pretty much reads like this, so take it for what you think it's worth.

There’s nothing set in stone for that series just yet, but Hasbro did announce a comic style Guardians five-pack, set for release in 2015, likely as an exclusive. The set will feature Star Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot and Drax. Unconfirmed word after the panel suggests the figures will look like this, design-wise:

Star Lord – Repack from the SDCC Thanos Imperative box set, with a new deco (white trim?)
Rocket – Mini BAF with a new head sculpt and a bigger weapon
Groot – Movie BAF with new comic style head
Drax – Built on the Sentry body… but we’re not clear if he’ll be a redo of the Annihilation look, or the classic purple togs
Gamora – Built on the Moonstone body with painted costume details, so I’m guessing her modern warrior look with the big hood and cape, and broadsword

Sweet, I'm guessing this'll probably be Toys "R" Us exclusive like the X-Men one? Groot sounds lazy, just a new head? Looking forward to the Gamora, awesome if it really is this design (haha, though I somehow doubt it):
