today on collects a showcase we're looking at everyone's favorite little
tree it's grilled hi guys me host supersorrell thank you
very much tuning in so today it's another supersorrell
showcase welcome to collectors showcase again guys we're this week we're looking
at group from guardians of the galaxy the Nova corn cause King Groot
he is awesome now unlike Thanos last week where I was introduced to Thanos
via the comic books Groot I was actually introduced to you by the model Cinematic
Universe I'll admit I didn't know who the hell the guardians of the galaxy was
prior to the movies but since the movie's release have become a very big
fan of a Groot now I say that about group but I was aware of one guardians
member before the film's and that's rocky racoon now how did I know about
Rocket Raccoon before Groot I mean back then in some of the comic books I don't
think Groot was around with rocket cuz I remember a rocket racoon and he was
actually in the Marvel vs. Capcom game will be had for the Xbox 360 and me and
my brother played as Rocket Raccoon all the time and he could say think of that
I'm not sure if the big log was meant to be grew I'm not sure there's like a big
log that you could like swing to attack with as rocky raccoons attack well it's
that group that we just didn't know it by that I care I'm but since the MCU
I've had the delightful opportunity to go back and read a lot of groups story
and also read a lot of Rocket Raccoon and Groot together in the 2016 mini
series of rocket and Groot as a part of the Civil War two storyline where they
teamed up with gwenpool it was very tongue-in-cheek comic book and I like
that about it it didn't take itself too seriously now I've come to collect quite
a few grew items and that's because of the popularity of guide into the galaxy
and the fact that GRU is very like he's very marketable shall we say and they've
made a lot of group merchandise so I pick my favorites out my collec
collection here today to show you my Groot action figure collection so guys
without further ado let's jump into today's collectors showcase so to give
you a little bit of background like I did last week with Thanos group first
appeared in the tales to astonish number 13 of November 1960 and was created by
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby grew is the Dutch word for large possibly
you're friends with stature our ability to grow in size he appeared again in
incredible hold annual number five in October of 1976 alongside five other
monsters from the marvel anthology horror comics series he then appeared
again in sensational spider-man number one of July 1997 where group was
featured as a nightmare for the young Peter Parker Groot reappeared in 2006
with the sixth issue limited series of Nick Fury's Howling Commandos and
appeared again in the annihilation conquest with the star-lord miniseries
group went on to join the guardians of the galaxy in the series of the same
name and remained a fixture of the title until it's cancellation in issue 25 of
2010 GRU appeared in its follow-up limited series the thong off him Thanos
imperative and alongside fellow Guardian Rocket Raccoon Groot starred as a backup
feature in the Annihilator series one through four as a part of March and June
2011 lineup of comics a March 2015 it was announced that Groot would be gained
his very first solo series by writer Jeff luminous and artist Bryan Kensing a
group the group that debuted in the tales to astonish and the one that
introduced in the guy in the annihilation conquest were
retrospectively established as being a separate members of the same species in
the sixth and final issue of the Groot ongoing series that launched in 2015
with infinity Wars in August 2018 however group specifically referenced as
the fact that during his first visit to planet Earth he was promised to march
across the surface of the planet and doom all who dared to oppose Groot this
seemingly reverted the characters origins having both areas of group
referencing as the same persona therefore invalidating the retro change
from the sixth issue Groot series in the annihilation conquest series it was
shown that Groot was the last remaining member of the flora colossi species and
was under arrest by the Kree for an unknown reason GRU earned freedom by
joining star-lord strike force where Groot and Rocket Raccoon formed a bond
rocket being one of the few beans with the ability to understand groups
language style odds team fought their way through phalanx but after the death
of death cry the team decided to escape through a drainage pipe that group could
not fit into as a consequence of the battle Groot
dies buying the team some time to escape a new group was created as a sprig
offshoot and went on to accompany the team on their continued mission against
the fan lacks so there's a little bit of history on Groot and the comic books
that grew has been in but it's time to get down to the desk level to look at
the action figures that is made of my collection of Groot now I was going to
include Rocket Raccoon in this video because rocket and Groot are inseparable
but I had two minifigures on the table and I had rocky ungrouped because for
every for every group figure I have a rocket in fact I have more Rocket
Raccoon and I didn't realize how many Drax and Star Wars and gomorrah's I had
either so I am thinking about doing another part of this video where we take
a look at the other guardians but for today I want to focus solely on grouped
so let's go to the desk level and take a look and all the GRU action figures I
own so guys here we are here all the groups that I own in my collection let's
do a quick rundown let's start over the back here so this is the Disney Store
Diamond Select Groot from the toy book series moving down we have the infinity
war basic Groot we have the electronic dancing group from Toys R Us the Marvel
Legends toys are exclusive Groot we have the rancor was another rank R Loretta
can never pronounce that group but it's nice the red jacket had group basically
this one wasn't as the exclusive in the UK I think in America it was a Walmart
exclusive it's a nice figure and then we've got the Disney XD TV series
version of Groot and without further ado we can forget the little ones so we have
a let me put the camera down we have a baby potted gruta there you get the
camera focus the baby potted Groot that came with the Marvel Legends toys are
exclusive group then we have the red suit and little grew that came with the
Marvel Legends Groot oh no I didn't equally the diamond slag did Mike away
the diamond select the little plotted group that came with Rocket Raccoon as a
part of the Disney XD Series then that tiny baby Groot from guardians
of the galaxy - which also came with the Marvel the Marvel Legends Toys R Us
exclusive Groot so there's a rundown of all of all the figures that we have in
this collection but which one is my favorite I'm really not sure I love each
of these groups individually in very different ways but let's start and let's
count them down so how many do we have here one two three four five six seven
eight nine ten so let's start all the way at Number ten number ten is gonna be
a place a little tiny Groot yeah just cuz it the eyes don't even
have coloring this is the most basic group that we have number nine number
nine goes to the other little blooded Groot it's just me it's just okay it's
nice and it's in scale for the Marvel Legends so here's a good one to have
it's just not my thing yeah I don't like that one as much um
number eight number eight will probably go with the Disney XD one well it's nice
and cartoony and comic book II and a little bit different it's just you know
I just wish the little more with it so what do you guys think let me know in
the comments number seven will probably go down here too there's a little fella
just cause he's super cute but super small and it's very little you can do
with him it isn't very much in scale I don't like this one as much as the
others it does it seems like fit in the hands of the other characters we're in
the in the film I'm sure is a little bit bigger than that so it's not really in
scale mmm who's next number six number six will go
for this group just because it's very basic is nice it's just a very basic
groove figure and although this one thing is quite sought-after it's quite
hard to come across now it wasn't exclusive at Asda here in the UK so yeah
it's kind of okay super-soldier he's had a lot of fun with him though yeah
well right now number six and number six probably go for the another basic Groot
he got higher on the listen I thought it was gonna get
he's just okay five POA is in scale with legends in my opinion instead of buying
out for that really expensive four pack I opted for the basic group which I
think does work wonders unease in scale with the characters but not my favorite
one number five I want to say down here this little guy he's got to be next he's
okay he's just a little bit small number four will go for dancing group number
four I think I've missed count like this completely I'm not sure what number Bob
but he's next he's always geez just okay he's nice he
dances it's cute it's fun you've seen at the beginning of the video he dances
along then after that I will probably go for the Marvel Legends version whilst
he's nice he just doesn't have the height in my opinion he's a very very
small thin character admittedly this is based on the one from the movies as far
as I can see is MCU version so it isn't keeping with the guys the galaxy one
movie but my absolute favorite guys that leaves one behind grew to the Diamonds
select group I use this group with my Marvel Legends figures just because I
think it has a more true height ratio whilst he is awesome
and he's almost the same size this one there although this one guy just has a
little bit more height on him and a little bit more thickness meatiness to
him makes him feel more like you know like he's a celestial being from another
planet it's awesome so yeah really happy with this figure this is my favorite one
in the collection but guys which one is your favorite out of all these groups
which one would you consider the best group in the collection let me know your
thoughts in the comments below I hope you enjoyed looking through these groups
