This is a solar operated Groot. It's not one of those fakes that you think is animated and all it turns out to be is a cup with a toy Groot on top. This is the real deal! It ticks like a clock when it moves, which can be irritating if you don't like ticking clocks. lol I don't mind it myself. If you love baby Groot, and you love solar toys, you'll love this Groot.
