So, a typical teenage rebellion consists of a bit of door-slamming and maybe some dabbling in things explicitly parentally-forbidden. But, when you’re talking about a living tree, things are a little… different. This teenage Groot Pop! Vinyl, from the Avengers: Infinity War, has taken adolescent angst to new heights (space-level heights) and is armed and angry!
Groot’s a little taller and meaner than his former sapling form and he’s ready for action. His vinyl figure is holding a blaster rifle and frowning harder than Drax the Destroyer in direct sunlight (or contemplating the punchline of a joke).
Funko is known for giving its characters the star treatment (totally awesome pun in no way intended), and Groot is no exception. This tenacious teenager has more detail than a Marvel movie plot. His bark skin and spots of moss are vividly modelled, making this figure more fun to look at than an Infinity Stone explosion.
Groot’s sacrifice in the first Guardians movie was a bit of a tear-jerker. But, it did set the scene for us to witness this character regrow from twig to teenager, which is an experience we wouldn’t trade for the galaxy! But, they grow up so fast, don’t they? So, since you can’t grab the camcorder and record Groot’s adolescence (because, like, it’s illegal), do the next best thing and preserve his moody teenage form forever with this Groot Infinity War Pop!
