Lifelike Animatronic Grogu Puppet at Comic-Con 2022!

The highlight of Comic-Con 2022 so far is this fully animatronic Grogu from EFX Collectibles, designed by the engineers and artists at Garner Holt Productions. We get up close with this incredible animated puppet, which uses 15 servos to recreate all of the character's joyful expressions seen in The Mandalorian. Star Wars fans at San Diego Comic-Con have to check this out!

I cant believe Tested is still helping to promote EFX. After Anovos they are probably the worst licensee out there. They have taken so much money from customers on pre orders and then still have yet to deliver any actual product. Just check the threads at the RPF. Stop helping these guys rip off fans.

[@jcarret26]

That was an amazing animatronic. I wonder how much it would cost?

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Wow. Tested is actually promoting the crooks at eFX? First Anovos and now eFX? They have cheated collectors for years. Taking money and not delivering.

[@paluxyl.8682]

@@jcarret26 I think that I have seen yesterday in a headline of an article something with $100k .... not sure if it's for the normal or the more advanced "ball from one to the other hand" version .

[@TheMancalorian]

If you visit their site 98% of the products are unavailable

[@rarewhiteape]

Needs an IR sensor to enable tracking of moving objects. Imagine it looking at your hand like a cat as you go in to pat it on the head!

[@alwayscensored6871]

Have a look at the machine learning microcontroller stuff, Seeed Studio and others. Tiny camera for face recog

[@tapuout101]

I totally agree and was thinking the same thing. They just seem outdated without it.

[@ch5412]

That 25 servo version is incredible! When they add Grogu to the parks this is probably what it's gonna be!

[@menamgamg]

It is insane that this is actually supposed to be available as a collectible lol

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

A very well done "minimal" version for display purposes... Has enough animatronics to look really good without being a VERY expensive piece of equipment to have on display with such open access... I love where they showed the more complex variant that has more functionality. Reminds me of an animatronic project or two I did several years ago for someone using a ventriloquist dummy. Nice work!

[@electraking8856]

HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!😱 Love that little baby❤️❤️❤️

[@Lovefadesfast11]

Mandalorian has great talent, the other SW has no 💓

[@jordonfreeman166]

I’ve got a story for you regarding the prequels: So my dad was the manager of the local JCPenny’s and JCPenny’s partnered with Lucasfilm to promote the Prequels (or at least Episode I). One of the ways that they promoted Episode I was to put a life-size statue of Anakin Skywalker, in his podracing outfit, in various JCPenny stores, one of which was the one my dad was the manager of. After the promotional period ended, he was most likely told to just throw it away, but growing up with the Original Trilogy and knowing how popular they were with his generation, he decided not to throw it away and instead brought it home. The statue then spent several years in our garage until my mom became a paraprofessional at a local school, which resulted in Anakin going on display in the school’s library. When she became a teacher at another school, Anakin went with her to that school’s library, who’s librarian just so happens to be a huge Star Wars fan, so Anakin has now found a new home.

[@shannon5604]

my grandma worked at Walgreens for years and she got to keep around 10 of the life size cutouts of LOTR characters when they were promoting it at the time. love getting to keep stuff they were just gonna throw out anyways!

[@donttalktome4696]

I recall a darth maul statue vaguely. I believe Pepsi had something to do with it? Either way those statues gotta be worth a ton these days haha

[@waytospergtherebro]

That story went absolutely nowhere. Get a better story.

[@ms.c.j.]

When I saw the one Adam had in that sling, the one Grant Imahara was designing, I immediately wanted one! I could just see him sat on my lap, riding my wheelchair with me ❤️

[@sarahcorrigan8059]

My daughter who is almost 9 watching this over my shoulder goes 'oh there's the real one!' ... she will not have it that he's a wee robot! ... I'm not going force the point! 🤣😂🤣

[@rebekah.2187]

Don't worry. I haven't been 9 for a very long time now, and I still want to pick him up and give him cuddles like he's real. I see the behind the scenes videos where someone is moving his head and an another person is moving his arms, and I still believe he is real. I think it just shows what an amazing job all the people who have made Grogu come alive have done. 😊

[@daveco1270]

Sounded like Baby Yoda ate something that didn't agree with him.

[@Veyron722skyhook]

My only complaint is that he looks a bit sad and upset all the time. A minor thing, but having him smile would've made all the difference I think.

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

SO cute! They should make more animatronic Baby Yoda's for us to buy. We can't buy this one but it'd be cool to go see it💚👽

[@PabloHedning]

All that is really missing is that the Eyes are not looking around. They always stare straight ahead.

[@MovieMaker1040]

Right into your soul...

[@TheSpotlessMind93]

they address it towards the end of the video. There are more expensive add-on motor options, including moving eyes.

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

The eyes are also open too wide. They should not be that open in such a bright hall.

[@crazykev176]

Yeah the eyes just look off to me, I think this might be partly why.

[@jenniferlapos9542]

Wanna see him smile.

[@Geoffisupnextgaming]

I love Star Wars and he is my fav character

[@TeddyLeppard]

That is one well-engineered little robot.

[@bps3013]

Some of those sound effects suggest Grogu needs a diaper change... 😵‍💫😄

[@jediskywalker78]

Can you ask Bryan when his customers will get their Biker Scout helmets that were ordered over 8 years ago?

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Not to mention the Iron Man helmet and the Dark Rey saber. Fully paid prorder money he took and refuse to deliver. Crooks

[@VincentStevenStudio]

I think the eyes are just a few centimeters too big. It makes a huge difference between cute and creepy.

[@chrissyboy7047]

And here I thought the 'budget' animatronic version was pretty good till I saw this 🤯

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@DaHaiZhu]

Sounds like Grogu has an upset stomach from eating too many frogs...

[@lasmaa0220]

Thank you for sharing! It's remind me Grant and his last project as well!

[@rnichol22]

Possibly the best new starwars character ever, it's scarey life-like

[@aliciamelendez5476]

I wish I had this. This is the most adorable.

[@l0gphroe]

Am I the only one that's sad they didn't cut a more clean line in the silicone in his eye lids?

[@mikeuk666]

It's not finished

[@l0gphroe]

@@mikeuk666 That sounds plausable, but molding finishes is normally done before painting, hair and eletronics is made

[@g3heathen209]

The cute is strong with this one.

[@ThatVideoGuyTom]

The eyes look weird but it's super cool

[@Goldengirl159]

Is it the audio or my new gaming headset, but every time grogu purrs/grunts, it sounds like farts to me. lol

[@pam81161]

Sooo awesome!!!!

[@TheSpotlessMind93]

You should ask Brian when the Dark Rey lightsaber, Legend Scout, Iron Man, and Black Panther helmets are coming out.

[@matthewgrove4143]

Love this puppet Grogu😮

[@anthonypuccini4669]

Wow,this will be great to have at Disney stores for Christmas!

Grogu the only good thing to come out of disney.

all I can think of is poor Grogu is like a little kid when two grownups are talking. he really wants to be part of the conversation!!!!!

Those big baby eyes 👀

What omg that's insanely perfect

[@chris_stacey]

Sounds like his diaper needs changing...!

[@ToastedShoes]

I was gonna buy it until I found out it could cost up to 100k

[@taliverdeltd7304]

At least it's not 5 million.

[@aliengranpa]

Just by the thumbnail, I'm guessing that cost about as much as a couple mortgage payments

[@JDMillest23]

Guaranteed still sold out in seconds.

[@AsurionWhitestar]

Their site has a Mando helmet for $800 & a mini Star Destroyer for $8000 with no animatronics so this Grogu will probably be about $20,000 with an Animatronics kit sold separately for $30,000….!!! Clearly will only be accessible for bloody millionaires ..!?

[@janderson0719]

A couple… lol

[@aliengranpa]

@@AsurionWhitestar for 80 grand it should at least destroy a small moon!

[@WHITEYBHOY2]

85k

[@davido273]

Fantastic

[@_sticks_]

Only $85,000-$100,000 for one. Reasonable.

[@joelmarodriguesdemelo999]

This Puppet is a dream.

[@SoaringExperience]

Imagine adding capative sensors which recognizes if it is touched on left or right side and the head pans into this direction...

[@gibberishname]

ironically the eyes look wrong to me. Like there's too much visible sclera. Almost like the iris is correct, but not scaled properly.

[@megapintofwine1068]

Mr Imahara would be so freaking proud

[@emilyfriedman450]

I need this grogru in my life

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Awesome

[@TotinosPizzaRollz]

The REAL question for Comic Con 2022 - which costume will Adam Savage be hiding in?

[@handznet]

He is inside this Grogu

[@dis_inferno9173]

Looks really cute, but price should be insane

[@NielsNL68]

this really a product where you should not need to ask the price. When you need to ask, the price will be to much for you ;)

[@yaritzamiranda921]

80k apparently

[@alwayscensored6871]

How many have made R2D2? Wonder if we will get an open source version of this?

[@Jobringt]

I’m not gonna lie. In 2050 it would probably be around 1,000 bucks because of how advanced humanity will be that that Grogu animatronic will be nothing compared to what creations there will be in the future.

[@silasalias]

grogu got into too many frogs before the interview

[@drawingcomics]

That is something. Go Grogu!

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

Baby Yoda looks like a cross between a Mogwei and an armadillo!😆

[@JTKirk]

That's fantastic, and i love that Bryan and his team at eFX get to be the ones working on this, they're my favorite Star Wars licensee!

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Yeah. Wait till they take your preorder money and don't deliver anything for almost a decade. Bryan is a shameless crook. He owns over a million dollars of preorder money taken since 2014 for non delivery of the Biker Scout Legend helmet and Iron Man helmet. Buy at your risk

[@grrrraffe]

This thing is terrifying. Going to be hard to sleep tonight.

[@sanakiyamam1987]

dude it costs 100k but imagine owning it and doing videos for YT with it. You would earn so much money and your channel would grow very fast.

[@TheMancalorian]

I want one of these.

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

I just hope that this company will be there when it's time to build a more lifelike Norm 2.0 too. ;)

[@EMM524]

Even Grogu looking stressed out because of Inflation 😂

[@StarKiller5888]

Are there some tutorials to know how to build an animatronics of Grogu like that? I want to build my own Grogu

I wonder if they'll ever do something like this for Babu Frik

[@ME10920]

Mando is the OG

[@outsider238]

Very cool but I've heard too many complaints about EFX not delivering their products. It's probably super expensive and you probably have to preorder it and given that too many companies that make stuff like this can't seem to get their preorders out on time or delivered at all, seems like it'll probably be a risky purchase. Plus what if this malfunctions? Who's going to fix it? You know it has a ton of moving parts and sensitive electronics that will break down after a while.

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

Preordering from eFX? Get ready l to lose your money when they don't deliver for years. Bryan is a crook

[@alwayscensored6871]

Servos with noisy gear trains, outrunner bldc direct drive would last longer. Been thinking about this for decades.

[@MaxPowerVideos]

Wow 😍🤩

[@Rob_Dekker]

I own 6 Grogus at the moment, but this one sure beats all of them, specially the 25 servo version. The price is probably insane and I've to sell my car to get one of these.

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

I believe it's $85,000😳

[@SolidKore]

visiting their website sure shows how much they prioritize profit over fandom...$500 for a helmet with no product pic.

[@nobodyuknow4911]

Ok, I'll get the front, someone lift the back... This thing isn't gonna just steal itself you know! ^_^
