The Mandalorian - Kuiil and Blurrg by Hot Toys

[CameronFrye]

How is Kuill by himself $245?! Sigh, now I’ve started collecting these things I’m too far down the rabbit hole. Not necessarily buying this one, but either way it’s bloody expensive.

So happy we got him coming after the preview! I'm in for him and the Blurrg! We're basically 2-3 character shy of getting everyone I'd want for the first season. I can still see them doing The Armorer even though she didn't turn up in S2. We know Cara has zero chance and I kind of doubt that Greef will be made either, but this unlikely release is great to get.

I think the price increases are in part to tariffs and labor/materials costs in China. Everything is going up.

But either way, even though Kuiil is small, there's probably very little difference in manufacturing costs for Hot Toys since he's got a painted headsculpt and full cloth outfit. All that takes time and manpower and they probably won't sell a ton of him either. Stormtroopers are def overpriced as they can just pump them out easy, but things like this take time. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
