Looking for recommendations on what version of adult Groot in 4 inch scale is the best. Thanks |

I picked up the new Rocket/Groot set at Target. Groot is the better figure. I wanna get another and make a Grootbacca, aka young Chewbacca. |

For 4" scale I think this is the only sculpt option: Marvel Legends Series Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon and Groot Action Figures https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0186X5UEI/re ... UAbEPPHZJG Maybe there was a con/box set with a different head, but there's not a movie style body in that scale (I think). |

been playing around with this for a couple years. There was a cheap action feature Groot from the first movie that had a decent head for 1:18. I had been using it on that comic uniform figure shown in this thread. I did just get the teen groot Infinity War figure, and while it would be too large to be 1:18 teen groot, with the head I just mentioned, it kind of works, albeit in a skinny way. I'll post pics in a bit |

I really like this version: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Guardia ... SwlL1aoVaX With some different paint, it could really work. It's from the 5 inch line. |

Yeah I tried that one also. If you’re into any kind of “realism” with your talking trees, this one is a swing and a miss. Too smooth and plasticy. I decided he’d take an entirely new surface sculpt to work which is why I’m still looking elsewhere. |

My son actually has that 5 inch Groot. And I agree Drbindy, it needs texture, which I may try. There appears to be a real hole out there for a movie adult Groot in 4 inch scale. I like the larger movie version but at 8 inches tall it’s just too big. |

I think if you want a movie-style adult Groot in 4-inch scale, you're going to have to customize him. I used the head from that action feature toy on a heavily modified comic 2-pack body to make this: You can see more shots of him (and my previous Groot that he replaced) in this thread: http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=34953&start=345. Maybe it'll inspire you to make a better one? |
