Fan Favorites Big Hero 6 Baymax and Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Joining Funko Fabrikations

Funko is proud to announce the two newest additions to the Fabrikations family! These 6” soft sculpted figures were created with the collector in mind, as they both feature rotating heads and a high-end, lush feel.

Baymax, your personal healthcare companion, is a no-brainer when it comes to our soft-sculpt line! The inflatable robot from Big Hero 6 just has one mission: to help others! He may need some help with learning how to fist-bump!

It’s well documented in Guardians of the Galaxy that Groot’s vocabulistics are limited to “I” and “am” and “Groot,” exclusively in that order, and his Fabrikation is a similarly quiet type!

Both the Funko Fabrikations Baymax and Groot will be available this July.

This June, the Marvel Universe’s most famous tree is starring in his very own series! That’s right, GROOT #1 is coming – and you will NOT want to miss it! Comics rising star Jeff Loveness (Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Amazing Spider-Man Special) joins Marvel newcomer Brian Kesinger (Disney Animation) for an epic galactic road trip of cosmic proportions!

“There’s a huge language barrier between Groot and the rest of the Marvel Universe,” says writer Jeff Loveness, in an interview with Marvel.com. “He may be a kind-hearted soul to us, but to a stranger, he’s just a terrifying tree-monster. He’s bound to get in trouble because of people judging him before they know him.”

It’s not all fun and games when, for the first time in years, Groot has been separated from his pal and translator Rocket Raccoon and forced to make it on his own in the big, scary galaxy. Armed with just the words “I”, “Am” and “Groot,” he’s about to embark on a new kind of adventure.

“We have the kinds of wacky situations a giant space tree can find himself in,” series Editor Devin Lewis says, “but we’re also striving to show what makes Groot one of the noblest and wisest characters in the Marvel Universe. There are as many feels in this book as there are chuckles, and it’s going to surprise people.” 

Explosions! Intergalactic Hitchhiking! Aliens! Space Sharks! And that’s just the first issue, True Believer! Bursting at the seams with action, adventure and excitement – fans will not want to miss out on this epic thrill ride. The intergalactic road trip is about begin. Hang on tight when GROOT #1 sprouts up in comic shops this June!

Before the Flora Colossus named Groot appeared on the big screen, in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, he was busy making his name in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic series from Marvel Comics. As a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot helped the team through Annihilation: Conquest, War of Kings, Thanos Imperative and other, major, cosmic battles. Many times Groot has given his all for the team, sacrificing his body. However, as long as a single twig remained, it would re-grow into a new body for Groot. What better way to celebrate Groot, as well as the Holidays, then to offer this festive collectible! This piece is a depiction of Groot, as he was in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic, while being tended to by Mantis, after being replanted by his best friend and partner, Rocket Raccoon. Featured standing in his pot, Gentle Giant Ltd. has included interchangeable snow, a scarf, and Holiday lights to decorate one of the greatest trees of all time! Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you Holiday Groot! This exciting limited edition statue is digitally sculpted by our master artisans, and is rendered using the highest quality polyresin and hand painted.

(*Happy Holidays!)!

Funko Pop! Guardians of the Galaxy Dancing Groot is Coming!

Funko Pop! Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Groot has definitely been a very sought after piece after the release of the film in theaters. Who did not love to see tiny Dancing Groot?

First, Funko Pop! would release Groot.

Loot Crate would join in on the fun with an exclusive Glow in the Dark Groot for their August Crate. 

Well, awesome news today for the Groot fans! Funko has released a teaser image for a Funko Pop! Dancing Groot. 

Dancing Groot will be available in retail stores and details will be announced early next week. Stay tuned! 

Funko Pop! Glow in the Dark Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Exclusive?

This is a Spoiler Alert!!!! 

The news has definitely been blowing up today for a Funko Pop! Glow in the Dark Guardians of the Galaxy Groot that was made exclusive. 

If you want to continue on, we will share the information that has been shared today.....

Loot Crate and Funko have teamed up to create an exclusive Pop! for the August Crate, which has a Heroes theme. Earlier today, someone shared a picture of the Loot Crate Funko Pop! exclusive, which happens to be a Glow in the Dark Groot vinyl figure. We loved it and were very excited in seeing the picture and the news of it being Groot. The Funko Pop! Guardians of the Galaxy Groot figure is extremely difficult to find in stores right now because of how popular his character became. To be honest, we were hoping for a Guardians of the Galaxy figure, in particular, a Dancing Groot. 

Loot Crate has mentioned that the exclusive Pop! would be a figure that has never been released and a newer sculpt. We are looking forward to getting our August Crate! 

Here is the picture of the Exclusive GITD Groot figure. 

We are just concerned about a Tweet that went out earlier today by Loot Crate. It stated that it is Loot Crate, not LootCrate, Not Lootcrate, Not LOOTCrate, 2 words, capital L, capital C. 

The sticker says LOOTCRATE, all one word, which has us thinking about the Tweet now. Is this the official August Loot Crate Funko Pop! Exclusive? We would not mind it being Groot at all as he was an amazing character in the comic series and the movie. 

Loot Crate has said that it would be a never before released figure and new sculpt, so it has us wondering. Again, we are just expressing our wonders now if Groot is the exclusive. Either way, we are definitely looking forward to getting our August Loot Crate in the mail very soon and sharing pictures. 

Loot Crate has also mentioned that the August Crate will be ending tomorrow mid-day and not on August 19th, so everyone should be placing their orders. 

Here is a link to ordering the August Loot Crate:
