Disney Releases $500 “Star Wars” Wicket Plush on Shop Disney

Disney has just listed a new “Star Wars” plush on Shop Disney and the price tag caught me off guard. The new Wicket plush is listed at about $500! His size is likely a reason for the price tag, as he measures 3’1″ tall, but it’s still a lot to pay for a plush.

Let’s take a look!

Wicket the Ewok Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary Plush – $499

Wicket is 3’1″ tall and weighs 30 pounds.

What gets me is how dead his eyes look.

They put one image up with white “reflections” on his eyes and they are clearly added digitally. Probably because they knew it looked creepy too.

Here’s the write-up:

“Just how tall is an Ewok? This giant Ewok collectors plush stands over three feet tall and weighs a hefty thirty pounds. Almost as tall as the real creature and just as fiercely adorable, this super size plush is modeled after the great Wicket W. Warrick. Created with exacting detail with a collector’s eye for authenticity, he looks as if he has just stepped out of the forest of Endor. From his furry body and simulated leather cloak to his sparkling eyes and toothy expression, this very special plush makes a huge impression. Created in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Wicket is a thrilling gift for the Star Wars collector and super fan alike.

I actually love Ewoks and have several vintage plush toys and even some Disney ones, but this one is just way too much in price and size. Plus, I find it creepy.
