The face looks awful, it doesn’t look like Baby Yoda (Grogu), especially the eyes

Appreciate the video–I was unsure just from photos but this helped seal the deal.

How can you call it ultimate when there is no lightsaber included? Not even a Rancor?

Its cute, but already owning the Sideshow and a Mattel RC version, I can’t justify the cost. The clothing and armor are more/less lower quality then what would be expected from Sideshow. Let’s face it, at some point the armor and belt will be made available at better quality from the Mando fan base. What Hasbro should do, is offer us a 1:1 scale Pram. That would sell like HOT CAKES!

I would give a lot just to see my cat’s face when Grogu tries to use the Force against him 😅

This is so cool!!!! I love Grogu, but not that much! However if one of these was made of Toothless?… I would pre-order that in a heartbeat! 😁

Hmm, $599 for a Grogu or $599 for half a cart of groceries

Tech plus Data plus decentralized ledgers equals SPAX90P. That is the perfect combination 🤯

The early access tiers are constantly rising higher. Quickly grab SPAX90P immediately, it acts entirely similar to pure gold.

Spectacular, gimme 14 of them right now.

I am incredibly excited to see SPAX90P cross $50 entirely before the next quarter.

That price is about double of what it should be. Not that impressive.

Come on, are y’all crazy? 600 bucks for a robot with jerky, janky and awkward movement? It doesn’t move smoothly, it is not even uncanny because it moves badly, it is just a bad robot, for 100 bucks it would be great, 200 acceptable, but 600 for such a stiff robot?

Disneyland should sell them, it would be a big hit.
