  1. The $600 Hasbro Gamble: Is Ultimate Grogu the Most Insane Star Wars Toy Ever? | 248

    The $600 Hasbro Gamble: Is Ultimate Grogu the Most Insane Star Wars Toy Ever? | 248

    Is Hasbro’s new $599 life-size Grogu a major Win or a total Wiff? We’re breaking down the specs, the staggering price point, and why this animatronic "toy" has the FITT crew divided. From 250+ animations to the mystery of the 4 D batteries, we’re asking the tough questions about the future of modern toy collecting and Star Wars memorabilia. Standing 14.6 inches tall, this 1:1 scale animatronic is impressive technologically, featuring 18 points of motorized articulation and 14 sensors that bring the "Child" to life. Whether he's using the "Force" to make his blue macaron vibrate or entering "Grab & Go" mode for your next cosplay, the engineering behind his squishy skin and directional audio is undeniable. However, with a $599 price tag, the collector community remains torn on whether these premium features—like the screen-accurate robes and "toddling" walk—justify the cost or if it's just a high-tech Wiff for most collectors. 🚨📞 Call our FITT Voicemail Line to leave a comment, question, or suggestion: 732-800-1977 00:00 - The pre-order madness begins02:10 - Why John hated Mandalorian Season 304:08 - The 2027 shipping delay nightmare05:56 - $600 for Grogu vs. the Jabba Sail Barge07:54 - Is it a toy or a $600 Teddy Ruxpin?08:50 - 18 points of "insane" motorized articulation11:12 - The Wiff: Furby vibes for a premium price13:25 - Hidden "Cosplay Mode" features15:46 - The D battery disaster and USBC fails19:16 - Why a Roomba is a better investment20:25 - Scalpers and third-party site chaos23:28 - Listener Voicemail: Designer toy artist tips25:31 - May the 4th vibes and packing peanut legends#UltimateGrogu #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #StarWarsCollecting #ActionFigures #ToyReview #Grogu #TheMandalorian #Hasbro #HasbroPulse #StarWarsMovie #StarWarsToys #FiveIdiotsTalkingToys #FITT #DisneyPlus #ToyPodcast #BabyYoda #Anamatronics ----------------------🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public:https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys
