Everyone's favorite scene from Guardians of the Galaxy came during the closing credits when Baby Groot started dancing to The Jackson 5's hit "I Want You Back." Thankfully, Marvel has decided to license a figurine that will be able to recreate the hilarious scene for years to come in your home.
The "Dancing Baby Groot" doll, Mashable reports, will hit stores in December, just in time for the holiday season. The electric toy will cost around $15 and is poised to be the next Big Mouth Billy Bass (sorry for the reminder). Check out the short clip at the bottom of the page of Baby Groot dancing away.
The soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy went straight to the top of album charts after its release in July, a first for a movie compilation using all previously released music. "I've spent my whole life compulsively collecting music and making all sorts of mixes for my siblings and friends and girlfriends," director James Gunn told Rolling Stone. "I feel like this soundtrack was an opportunity to make a mix CD for the whole world."
"I picked '70s music because that would be Meredith Quill's era," Gunn continued, referring to Peter Quill's mom. "To me, there's also a very pop art, spacey and fun feeling to those songs that seemed to fit well with Guardians. The unexpected contrast of those songs to our aliens and outer-space apes also made it fun."
Earlier this month, poster company MONDO revealed that they would be giving the soundtrack a deluxe makeover featuring specialty artwork by Tyler Stout, purple vinyl and character handbills.
According to Box Office Mojo, the movie has grossed $687,077,000 worldwide. It broke the domestic record for highest-selling August debut, raking in $94 million over the premiere weekend.
