*UPDATE* That Dancing Baby Groot (and Howard the Duck) Toy You've Been Wanting is Now on Sale!

 *UPDATE* The Dancing Groot figure is now officially available for pre-order, and our friends at Entertainment Earth one of the few sites that have it! I've already ordered mine and I suggest you get yours here right NOW because they'll be going extremely fast, especially at a price of only $9.99!

That's not the only awesome Guardians of the Galaxy figure available now. Marvel shocked fans by introducing Howard the Duck into the cinematic universe, and now you can get him too for the same low price right here!

Admit it, ever since Guardians of the Galaxy all you've been secretly dying for is a dancing Groot action figure. The Internet has been going crazy with (I think there was even a petition) demands for somebody, ANYBODY, to make one. And it looks like it is finally going to happen, courtesy of the folks at Funko, who pretty much own me thanks to their awesome line of Pop! Vinyl figures of which I have way too many. The announcement comes from Marvel's Agent M...

Computer says "Yes!!", gimme! And clearly I'm not the only one excited about the news because Funko's website has been in a state of disrepair ever since. I think we've broken the darn thing. Details and a release date will be announced later, but I wouldn't wait until these things are on store shelves to get one. As soon as they are available for pre-order I'd jump on it. We'll let you know as soon as a date is confirmed.

Because Everybody Needs More Groot in Their Lives...

There's no way Marvel could have predicted how much people would love Guardians of the Galaxy, but more than that they couldn't have known audiences would take to Groot the way they have. The talking tree creature, along with his best pal Rocket, stole the film for most people thanks to the incredible voice work by Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper. But there's one scene in particular that people can't stop talking about, and if you haven't seen the movie yet it's probably a good idea to bail right now and go see it.

The scene everybody loves, of course, is the one where a tiny baby Groot begins dancing to the sounds of the Jackson 5 while Drax (Dave Bautista) is none the wiser. People love this moment so much they are demanding Marvel make it a toy available for purchase, and we all know that will probably happen soon enough. Maybe it will come with the limited edition Blu-Ray or something. Anyway, Marvel has now put that scene out for everyone to see and watch on an endless loop. At the same time, James Gunn has revealed that Groot's smooth moves were performed by him, just in case you thought that was Diesel's groove.

Gunn: "Baby Groot dancing is 100 percent me. I was too embarrassed for anyone to be there, so I made everyone leave the room and I set up a camera and I videotaped myself dancing. Then I sent the video to the animators and had them animate over that. I begged them not to leak the video! Two of my closest friends came to an early screening and said 'Hey, I recognize those moves! That's you dancing isn't it?!'"
