Though Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 won't open in U.S. theaters until this weekend, everyone already knows that the adorable Baby Groot is going to steal every scene he's in. Let us help you bring Marvel's cutest living tree child into your home.
Note:The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
THE ORIGINAL DANCING GROOT
When moviegoers left their screenings of 2014's original Guardians of the Galaxy, no doubt many quickly turned to their phones to see if the little dancing Groot featured in the film's final moments was available as a toy. It was not! But Marvel quickly corrected that oversight and got this plastic, potted, grooving Groot to store shelves as fast as they could. It dances in response to sound and plays the song "I Want You Back."
THE NEW DANCING GROOT
Now that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is hitting the silver screen, Baby Groot has uprooted himself to upgrade his dancing abilities. Now freed from his pot, he's got two feet to plant on the ground while he shakes his trunk. This new version also has light-up eyes, plays an audio clip from the new film and stands nearly a full foot tall.
FUNKO POP'S "DANCING" GROOT
For a third take on the character emphasizing his incredible ability to dance, here's one that doesn't actually do any dancing. This is the Pop that Funko put out in the wake of the first film, so Groot's once again potted – and while his trunk's entirely stationary this time, he does at least get the traditional Funko Pop head-bobbling.
FUNKO'S OTHER OPTIONS
The Funko Pop brand has adapted Groot several other times, so here are three alternative options for you to consider. Including one where he's holding a little shield? I guess that's a thing that happens in the new movie? Spoilers.
- See Groot from Guardians 1 on Amazon
- See Groot from Guardians 2 on Amazon
- See Groot with a Little Shield on Amazon
THE GROOT CRATE
Finally, the Loot Crate shipping to subscribers for the month of May has the theme "Guardians," and Baby Groot is prominently featured within!
THE GROOT SHIRT
From Loot Crate: "No need for a dance off, just click subscribe to get May’s Guardians of the Galaxy Loot Tee (featuring Baby Groot)".
A COUPLE OF KEYCHAINS
For a Funko Pop finale, here's a pair of Groots who'd be happy to protect your car keys and ride around in your pocket all day long.
A SET OF T-SHIRTS
Need something new to wear to this weekend's premiere? Groot's got your torso covered.
- See the Growth Graphic T-Shirt on Amazon
- See the Innocent Groot T-Shirt on Amazon
- See the Mix Tape T-Shirt on Amazon
- See the Pocket Groot T-Shirt on Amazon
- See the Ravager T-Shirt on Amazon
- See the Ladies I am Groot T-Shirt on Amazon
NECA'S BODY KNOCKER GROOT
Here's a Groot that'd be perfectly appropriate for placement on your car's dashboard. He rocks from side to side just like those good old hula dancer figurines, and his motion is powered by the sun. But of course it is! He's a plant. Photosynthesis, people.
THE WORLD'S LITTLEST GROOT
If you're searching for the teeniest, tiniest, absolutely smallest possible Groot collectible, you'll need to buy a Rocket Raccoon figurine to get him. He comes as an accessory with this Rocket! (Along with a huge gun, of course.)
THE TWO-INCH "SCALER" GROOT
Nearly as itty-bitty as the Groot just above is this miniscule grabber Groot that you can attach to cords, cables and wires. Or maybe a drinking straw? It would probably work there too.
A GROWABLE GROOT?
Here's something a little different: a Groot you can grow! Uncle Milton's Grow and Glow Groot is a glow-in-the-dark Groot figurine that ships to you with a set of seeds. You plant them into the soil at Groot's base and watch them spring up over time. Science!
PLUSH GROOTS
For maximum snugglyness and cuddle potential, you'll of course want a soft plush Groot rather than a vinyl or plastic one. Here are some Groots you could feel good about giving your toddler at bedtime.
- See the Mini Bean Bag Groot Plush on Amazon
- See the Funko Fabrikations Groot Plush on Amazon
- See the Jumpsuit Groot Plush on Amazon
- See the Naked Groot Plush on Amazon
THE BEDTIME STORY
Speaking of bedtime, kick that old copy of Good Night, Moon to the curb. Read your kids "Night Night, Groot" instead!
THE LIFE-SIZE GROOT
Want to cosplay as one of the Guardians this year? Complement your outfit with the addition of this life-size foam Groot, standing the same 10 inches tall that he does in the new film.
THE REMOTE-CONTROLLED GROOT
Probably the coolest Groot going is the one you can actually make move yourself. It's the Dancing Groot RC! With a remote control in your hands, you're the one who decides exactly how Groot grooves. Though there is a second mode that'll let him take over and dance automatically, too!
Lucas M. Thomas surmises that Groot is pop culture's most popular sentient plant creature. Take that, Swamp Thing! You can follow Lucas on Twitter, @NintendoForce.
