UPDATE (9/12/2022): He’s here! Whether or not you travel across the galaxy with the Guardians, this Groot nuiMO is ready to be part of your clan and join all of your adventures.
What’s Happening:
- Just when you thought Disney nuiMOs couldn't possibly get any better, the Disney Parks Blog reveals shopDisney is adding a Marvel character to the line of poseable plush.
- He might have a limited vocabulary, but the walking, talking alien tree known as Groot is joining the nuiMO family and we can’t wait.
- Like many of the animal and alien plush (Pluto, Angel, Stitch, Pooh and friends), Groot does not come with an outfit, but that’s totally true to his character!
- He looks just the way we imagine with markings for his tree bark body and a few embroidered leaves. His big eyes are wide open and he’s sharing a big smile cuz he’s glad to be part of the Guardians of the Galaxy and now part of your family too!
- But don’t let his lack of outfit deter you from shopping for cool accessories and outfits designed for every occasion or mood.
- The Groot nuiMO is available now on shopDisney and sells for $19.99.
- A link to the plush can be found below.
