$10?  Wow.

Questions:
- Is this going to be a mini-pack like they did with the Porgs a couple years ago?
- Is this EE exclusive (I assume not)

Yes, mini-box like the Porgs.

Not EE exclusive.  Should be everywhere next Spring/Summer. (Like the Porgs were.) 

*Updated the post with the full Hasbro press release.  Hasbro also confirmed that places like Walmart and Target, etc will be selling this.

Cue the 3D printed space cribs on eBay!

Looking forward to this release. They should put together a whole Mando wave.

I'm fine with $10. Packed with another figure or his pod for $20 or $22 would be better though

I never saw Porgs in person so I have no clue what became of those, but I'm wondering if this will still be popular enough by next year to sell for $10

I'd say the plush stuff is what has to worry about the delay with the casual fan. 1.5" fig is selling to the all in collector today or a year from now

I ordered one because I thought it would be cute to have at my desk... am I just remembering the show wrong or did they get the scale wrong?!  I feel like this thing would fit right in with the 3.75" stuff.

Got mine today it is crazy small.  It feels just a little too big next to 3.75" figures, but also too small next to 6" for me.  Then I went back and looked through photo stills from the show and he really is that small.  He's roughly the size of the Mando's helmet and fits in that Biker Scout's pouch - I can't imagine how tiny a 3.75" version will/would be though.

Yeah, until further notice I’m just putting him with the 3.75” figures.

I remember very early on people saying he'd be about an inch in this scale so when they kept showing 1.1" I was not surprised.
