Dancing Baby Groot coming from Funko

Since first seeing Guardians of the Galaxy many fans, including me, have been waiting for a baby Groot figure. Well our wish has been granted. Funko will be releasing a Pop Vinyl! version of little baby Groot. 

If you haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet, first do,you live under a rock. second at the end of the film there is scene where baby Groot is dancing waving his branches to The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back". Yes it was the cutest scene in the movie and has caught the attention of everyone.

Once we know the exact release date we will update our loyal readers. I also still hope someone makes a solar powered dancing version.

Marvel Entertainment Movie Release Dates

Here are all the movies we have to look forward to for the next five years. Which one are you most looking forward to? The dates and movies are not set in stone for the later ones, just educated guesses.

Marvel is giving fans a lot more information then DC Entertainment has!

The Justice League of America are big Groot fans!

The Guardians of the Galaxy's resident tree has become some popular that even DC comics superpowers the Justice League of America have become fans. I think this is a cosplay.

Actually this was taken from Justice League of America #9 released in 1961 but they sure do look like Groot.

If you have any other Groot inspired images please email the to us with your story, farleyclan003@yahoo.com

Good Luck on Your Hunt!

I want this Groot in my collection!



Hoping that one of the toy companies makes this soon. Could be like one of those solar powered toys. 

Marvel comics get on this.

Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy

Since the movie Guardians of the Galaxy premiers tomorrow we decided to cover two characters today, Gamora was first and now soon to everyones favorite tree, Groot. Get ready to hear this a lot the next couple of week "I am Groot." Groot made his first appearance in Tales to Astonish #13. The issue was written by Stan Lee with art by Jack Kirby, released in November, 1960.
A mint graded copy will cot you about $5,000 while an ungraded average copy will be about $300. These early Lee/Kirby monster tales are highly sought after by collectors, value will continue to increase based on the popularity of Groot.

About Groot
Groot was originally the Monarch of Planet X, after being destroyed he was reimagined as the Flora Colossus from Planet X, the capital of the branch worlds. The Flora Colossus are tree-like beings who are highly intelligent but due to their anatomy their language consists of  repeating the phrase "I am Groot". 

First Appearance

After landing on planet Earth Groot the Monarch of Planet X absorbs wood objects into his body, growing larger. He then uses his abilities to control trees to try to take a small town back to Planet X so that it can be studied by scientists. A scientist from the town uses a specially breed colony of termites to defeat Groot, who many believed to be dead after the encounter.

In Guardians of the Galaxy

Groot will be CGI and voiced by Vin Diesel whose only lines will be "I am Groot", he becomes a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy with his partner Rocket Raccoon.

Tales to Astonish #12 like many other issues in this monster themed title are very hard to find and should get harder to find after the Guardians smashes it at the box office. So go and hunt down a copy for your collection, make The Collector proud.
