'Avengers: Infinity War' heroes join the Marvel Build-A-Bear Workshop crew
Teen Groot, Iron Spider, and Iron Man are all about to get 100 percent more adorable.
The three Avengers: Infinity War superheroes are set to join Build-A-Bear Workshop's roster of Marvel-licensed plush toys. And as you can see, they are extremely huggable.
Teen Groot and Iron Spider are full-size bears -- the younger Groot is available as a 6-inch Mega Mini and the "adult" Groot from Guardians 1 (R.I.P.) used to be available in a full-size version -- and Iron Man is an add-on costume. Which means, yes, if your dream is to see an Iron Groot join the Marvel universe, you can be the change you wish to see.
The two hero bears cost $28 each, and the Iron Man costume is a $16 add-on if you'd rather dress your own bear. You'll be able to find all of them listed right here, starting Thursday.
Build-A-Bear Workshop's Marvel deal has already bear-ified a number of popular MCU heroes, including Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man, and, most recently, Black Panther.
Iron Man and Groot were both previously available as Mega Minis, though Iron Man has never had a costume and Iron Spider -- the shiny-suited version version of Spider-Man that will debut in the new movie -- is a first-time addition to the store.
For anyone who might be unfamiliar: Build-A-Bear Workshop is an online and brick-and-mortar retailer that sells stuffed animals. The store sets itself apart by allowing customers to fill the toy with stuffing themselves in store, and customize their creation with different costumes, accessories, and built-in sounds and scents.
