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.

Gentle Giant Marvel Potted Groot Statue

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. Each piece comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity. And if you are on Santa’s nice list, you will be in for a special surprise. "I AM GROOT!" (*Happy Holidays!)!

The Gentle Giant Marvel Potted Groot Statue is now available! The statue also comes with an added bonus of a mini Secret Wars Black Suit Spider-Man, which is getting us prepared for 2015 with the Jumbo Vintage Carded Secret Wars figures.
