Marvel Groot Marvel Life-Size Figure is a replica from Hot Toys scaled to the size the movie's director pictures the character would be in real life.

They've have done another fantastic job with the Baby Groot they've created.

When you look at Hot Toys' Marvel Groot Marvel Life-Size Figure you just get the feeling it is going to turn its head to look at you and say "I am Groot." Baby Groot's movie authentic appearance includes highly detailed facial expressions and a tree-like body texture.
Baby Groot also comes with a removable miniature Ravagers outfit and a Guardian of the Galaxy themed display stand. The collectible figure also comes with two pairs of interchangeable hands. The extending attack hands are embedded with wires so you can slightly pose the long branch like figures if you like.
Speaking of posing, the figure also has 15 points of articulation making it great for recreating your favorite Baby Groot scenes from the movie or just having fun playing around with the toy.

Grab some snacks and get ready to enjoy an incredible sci-fi adventure! Marvel Studios'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is now available to add to your home video library on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true
parentage in this cosmic adventure.
Set to a soundtrack of music compiled from a mixtape of Peter Quill's favorite songs from his youth, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 provides audiences with a sonic backdrop of awesomeness as they watch the movie. What if everybody had a mixtape serving as a soundtrack for their life's adventures based upon your favorite songs while growing up? Inspired by the great music incorporated into the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I've created my own AWESOME MIXTAPE playlist on Spotify filled with songs from my adolescence to serve as a soundtrack for the adventures I'm having now with my kids as a dad:
We haven't flown off to explore the outer regions of the cosmos, but my kids have had lots of fun adventures in our backyard inspired by comic book stories. While Guardians of Galaxy is a science fiction adventure it is also based upon Marvel comic book characters and stories. Comic books have been a great inspiration for getting my kids engaged in imaginative play.
Speaking of comic book heroes! My daughter was thunderstruck by the chance to meet Thor and being challenged to take Mjolnir away from him. We weren't able to take the great war hammer with us home as a souvenir because she couldn't budge it but the moment provided a life long memory.
It may not seem too adventurous but simply playing in the rain has provided some exciting times. Have you ever sung and danced in a rain shower? It really will put a smile on your face!
That time the dinosaur chased us! Can you walk the dinosaur? Today's technology and special effects have provided us some spectacular opportunities that I could have only imagined as a kid.
The twins were apprehensive at first about riding thrill rides at amusement parks and carnivals, but once they rode a roller coaster for the first time they were hooked. Now they can't get enough of spinning around and around.
Visiting car shows is something we regularly do rain or shine year after year. My kids favorite cars are hotrods like the ones the band ZZ Top featured in their music videos. We'll often doubleback to check out impressive ones we really like multiple times while wandering around.
I really want my kids to experience places that are both entertaining and educational. We've been to numerous battlefields, museums, science centers, and zoos over the years. It has become a family tradition to stop at these types of places no matter where we are going on vacation.
Some of our best times together as a family have just been enjoying the splendors of nature whether it has been taking a hike through a local nature trail or going on a trek to a national park. Make time to enjoy sunsets and natural spaces as you walk through life.
I'm a passionate Detroit Tigers fan. Sharing being a fanatic and enjoying a visit to the ballpark to cheer on the team with my kids have been some very special times for me as a dad. Whether it is playing catch in the backyard or watching a game together I'm so glad my kids have adopted my love of the game of baseball.
Going to the movies to see a film on the big screen is one of our favorite treats when it comes to a family outing on the town. We always go a bit overboard with the sugary snacks enjoying frozen soda drinks, buttered popcorn and candy when going out to see a movie. Our whole family LOVED seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the theater. We are so excited to be able to see it over and over again now with the movie out on home video.
So that's my AWESOME MIXTAPE inspired by Star Lord's selections in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? It appears that Peter Quill and I grew up on the planet Earth around the same period of time from our mixtape selections. I hope you liked my own mixtape containing favorite songs from my youth. Please enjoy it on Spotify:
