Teenager Groot 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

HISTORY OF GROOT

Our baby's Groot has grown a bit and now he's a teenager. He has similar features like all normal teenagers and plays in his video games. The only thing that distinguishes him from others is that he can only say one phrase "I am Groot". In the last movie of the guardians of the galaxy, he was still very young. He was again raised by his faithful friend Rocket. He raised it from a small stem that was preserved after Grout saved them all.
