I think it's cute and fun in the movie but I don't really need merchandise of it, personally. There's something kinda attention seeking about it for some reason.

So far it seems I'm the only one to find these. Picked a few up at my local Walmart as gifts.

I'm probably the only person who think this, but that tiny groot comes across to me as obnoxious as hell. Not that toy, specifically, but the whole idea (luckily the lego version doesn't resemble it in any specific way...).
I can definitely understand that. I'm just using it as a desk ornament, and pretending it's the comic version (I think he was in a pot at first for the early GOTG issues, and Annihilation happenings). It won't be in a dancing pose, that's for sure.

I can understand why you guys don't get dancing Groot.
You guys just haven't seen Footloose.
Woooo!

My TRU has had Dancing Groot for about a week.
Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

I'm a little disappoined that he isn't more flexible than that, but there's no way a physical toy could get as flexible as the one in the movie.

I think the concept of being educated and being able to educate is something that more people need more of in their lives.
No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.
If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.
Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

Have you seen the Hot Toys one? He's got bendable arms, likely with old school Gumby tech.

I'm going with yes, as I posted it just last page.

But does it sing and dance on its own like the one Cheets posted?
Cuz I mean one that actually does sing and dance on its own.

This James Gunn guy seems kinda full of himself on the commentary. Also, every scene is his favorite scene.
That was not a good listen. Ugh. This movie deserved better extras!

You said there's no way a toy could be as flexible as the movie. You never indicated it had to sing & dance.
Of course, if we ever learn how to micro size the technology in wacky waving tube men, we might get even closer. But I'm not sure if an oversized wind sock qualifies as a toy either.

Showed the movie to my Mom at her place. She loved it, and instantly demanded a Dancing Groot.

Just rewatched this, only the second time I've seen it. Still thrilled we got Cosmo in the film. I'd have rathered see him talk at the end than Howard. I guess I also missed someone in another of the Collector's cases. The big, hulking, mossy thing we briefly see. Is that supposed to be Man-Thing? It'd fit the Strange Tales thing.

Ah. That's still kinda cool then. Never liked Adam Warlock though. Even DNA couldn't make me like him.
