Groot the Flora Colossus Funko POP

From Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot the Flora Colossus, as a stylized Funko POP. Groot is a Flora colossus and the accomplice of Rocket Raccoon. Together, the pair had traveled the galaxy picking up bounties until they met Star-Lord and Gamora just before the 4 of them were captured and put into the Kyln, where they also met Drax the Destroyer. There, they agreed to work together to escape and sell the Orb for a massive profit. However, when it was discovered that the Orb contained one of the Infinity Stones which was being sought out by Ronan the Accuser, Groot convinced his friends to risk everything to stop Ronan’s diabolical plans. During the Battle of Xandar, Groot sacrificed his own life to save his new friends. However, part of his destroyed body was planted by Rocket to birth a new Groot, as they joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. As the new Groot began to grow, he stayed with the Guardians and endeavored with them on many adventures. They were soon hired by the Sovereign to destroy an Abilisk, but they were then targeted by their former employers due to Rocket who double-crossed them.

During the escape, they had met Peter Quill’s father Ego while Groot and Rocket, along with Yondu Udonta, were captured by Taserface’s faction of the Ravagers, but Groot was able to help them all escape. Groot then joined his allies and assisted them in destroying Ego and saving all his friends, but Udonta lost his life. Over the next 4 years, Groot continued to grow and started exhibiting the personality of an adolescent. Both Groot and Rocket then left the Guardians temporarily to accompany Thor to Nidavellir in order to help his mission to stop Thanos from completing the Infinity Gauntlet. After they had helped Thor obtain his weapon, Stormbreaker, Groot and Rocket traveled to Earth using the Bifrost Bridge and joined the Battle of Wakanda. Groot fought alongside Captain America and attempted to attack Thanos, however, when the Mad Titan amassed all 6 of the Infinity Stones, he succeeded in eliminating 50% of the universe’s population, which resulted in Groot’s death.

5 years later, the Avengers managed to resurrect the victims of the Snap, restoring Groot. Alongside Winter Soldier, he left Wakanda through an Inter-Dimensional Portal and joined the Battle of Earth. In the aftermath of the battle, Groot attended Tony Stark’s funeral and rejoined the Guardians, now including Thor, on their adventures. Groot has strength and endurance proportional to its colossal tree structure and can greatly increase its already considerable size. If it is destroyed, it can grow back completely from a fragment of it. The character has demonstrated the ability to control trees by making them move and grow at will, and is also able to adapt to situations by modifying his body at will. He is also immune to fire. Groot can absorb wood as food, and has the ability to regenerate. Groot can control trees and plants, using them to attack others. Groot is able to sprout dramatically increasing his mass which then severely inhibits movement. Groot has been seemingly killed on multiple occasions, each time regrowing from a sprig.
