Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Dancing Groot

Bought this of for my 28 year old son, for Christmas. We had just watched the movie and thought this little guy was so cute! He bugged me about what his gift was, trying to guess and I had so much fun teasing him about it! He kept trying to get me to give him hints, etc. I thought he would never guess and it would be a total surprise, at Christmas. I couldn't wait! Well, my surprise was ruined, when he checked his history for something on his darned IPhone and saw this. He came in, so cleverly...and so smug...I was so upset! At the iPhone, not him. I just got it and told him to open it, then. I then purchased another 'surprise' gift...or will it be?! I am very upset that what I order on my Mac laptop gets to his iPhone. Amazon connection? I must figure out how to stop this from happening! Anyway, he loved it and so did I! This little guy is so adorable! He had to figure out the switches at first and then all was well. The only thing that he was disappointed about was it didn't play, Hooked on a Feeling... ooo-ga-chocka...oo-ga-chocka.... I have to admit, I like it better than the BJ Thomas version! No problem though, he put it on his audio system and Groot danced to that! I couldn't believe It was so balanced, with the movement. It pauses for a second, periodically, while dancing and my perfectionist son made the comment, that it would be better if he moved totally, smoothly throughout. I told him I could not afford that kind of robot. My son is Graphic Designer and Animator, so spends lots of time on the computer. I have always told him he needs something with real eyes to look back at him, rather than a computer screen! This isn't exactly what I had in mind, but he does have eyes, he's tangible and he's not flat! My son has Groot sitting on his computer desk, facing him. Successful, ruined surprise!

So cute! And works fine. External music mode is a little tricky (instructions aren't clear (the hold the button down part and the 15 seconds part are actually two unrelated things not two steps in the same process (took me a bit to figure that out, maybe I'm slow))), but once you figure out what works, it works every time. It isn't supposed to be 'always listening' and start dancing every time music is played, you have to set it off (which I happen to think is a good thing, I don't want to constantly be replacing the batteries). I think some of the people who wrote bad reviews either didn't read the instructions at all or didn't take a moment to understand them (one of them didn't even bother to open the packaging, not sure how you have the stones to review something you didn't even take out of the box). Or they got a bad unit and can't be bothered to get it replaced. The 'loose head' is what sells the dancing movement, if it didn't move freely he'd look weird. Assuming a dancing tree toddler isn't inherently weird.

Bought this for my wife and for a change it is "EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED". It dances for short spurts to a song or 2 in normal setting or or it can dance for nearly a full song, then keep moving to any music or noise you have in the room. Very cute, my wife loves it and her friends all want to have one also so I guess it does what it is supposed to do, make people happy.

This is a simple toy. It's not something to entertain a modern child with for more than a few minutes, not even enough time to go through the demo batteries. He isn't all that interactive and stays in music detect mode less than 3 minutes. Getting it out of the the box will take longer by far. But. I'm not a kid. And apparently easily entertained. The sound is reasonable and there are a few song bites from the soundtrack. I have had no problems getting him to pick up sound even from some distance. He dances to my terrible singing. Gotta love that. His arms are poseable, moving like most action figures, up, down and some lateral movement. The eyes light up and he speaks. He has a shutoff switch to save battery life.The bottom half of the body slides across surfaces and will eventually find the edge. Something to watch for since I doubt he bounces well. All that being said... I think this little guy is absolutely adorable. He is now Guardian of the Residence and shows up all over the house, much like that little Christmas elf. I may even end up making him clothes. And every Baby Groot needs his own mini teddy bear from the craft store. This has been goofy and fun for me and well worth having around. I AM GROOT!

Though cute as a button, this dancing Groot should only be purchased if you intend to leave it in a stationary position since it's not really ideal as a toy. The arms are poseable, yet they only offer two points of articulation and head is on a loose swivel. The button you push to make Groot dance is cleverly hidden on it's left leg, though I wished the speaker was of higher quality since it sounds like it's coming from a bathroom with the door closed. The toy also tends to shift a lot when it's activated so be mindful not to leave it close to the edge of a table or a shelf. Another reviewer mentioned that you should leave the two tabs that come with the packing on Groot's feet to minimize the movement and I found that this works nicely than with them off. Overall, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this toy at it's current pricing based on its negatives though I'd find it reasonable at a twenty dollar price point.

This guy is awesome. I gave him as a gift (to a women in her early 30's as a thank you for being awesome) and he is on display. He makes you want to do a little happy dance with him. Can't help but smile. I have to say, I did not know what a Groot was until I heard her talk about it. When he was shipped to me. I was pleasantly surprised.

Put groot away for a Christmas gift, he’s super cute and will be loved for years to come! Wish I got him on sale though, paid full price and then he went on sale the next week, can’t get the difference back without sending him back to amazon which seems silly.

Sehr schön gearbeitete und detailreiche Figur, die dem Original wirklich sehr nahe kommt. Die Animationen zur Musik sind niedlich und funktionieren einwandfrei, sind aber stellenweise doch etwas ruckelig. Für den Preis kann man aber auch keinen perfekten Roboter erwarten - von daher alles perfekt. Für Groot-Fans die beste Figur, die aktuell auf dem Markt ist!

A mi sobrina le encanta cuando baila al ritmo de la música, lo ha tirado algunas veces y sigue funcionando igual que cuando se compró, así que la calidad es excelente.

This Dancing Baby Groot is fantastic you really do feel like you have a part of the film in your home. There are some very expensive replicas coming out but to be honest this little guy is perfect and very realistic. Everyone who has met him fell in love :) So much fun, even my cats love him. Easy to set up has some demos, says I am Groot and dances to all your music. Great price and arrived really quickly. He certainly brings a smile to my face every day.

autant pour les enfants que pour les adultes, personnage très agréable visuellement et au toucher, pour les fans de la galaxie c'est au top, il s'agite à chaque bruit ou à la musique, je l'adore.
