Groot, the living tree from the Guardians Of The Galaxy, is one of the MCU’s most iconic characters. And Groot’s popularity will grow even more in the coming months as I Am Groot, a series of short films starring the character, will soon be hitting Disney Plus. And today, a new line of toys gives fans an idea of what to expect from the series while showing that Groot is a fashion icon.
Hot Toys, the company most known for their high-end and detailed figures and statues, unveiled a new line of bobbleheads today. This line of toys, dubbed the ‘Marvel Studios’ I Am Groot – Cosbi Bobble-Head Collection’, features nine figures, each showing Groot in a different outfit.
One features Groot with a pompadour and mustache made of leaves, making him look like he’s about to take the role of Freddie Mercury in an intergalactic Queen tribute band. Another shows him wearing a cute forest-themed onesie, and another has him following safety guidelines by donning some ear and eye protection as he sets off a detonator.
The complete, currently announced range includes:
- Groot (with detonator)
- Groot (Centaur)
- Iwua
- Groot (with Cheese Puff)
- Groot (Mustache)
