POP Kuiil (The Mandalorian (Star Wars))

Kuiil is a character from the saga The Mandalorian. Former Ugnaught slave under the Galactic Empire, he lives since the end of the war on a planet and raises blurrgs. They are very strange beasts, but they can be ridden. Kuiil captured them himself and then managed to tame them. He then built a farm to raise them.

Rough at first sight, he will help Din Djarin, the hero of the series. Then he will cross his path several times to finally die as a hero. The arrival of the Mandalorian takes him out of his usual routine. It pleases him even if he has to die.

Kuiil appears several times in the series aired on Disney+, The Mandalorian. It is a series that tells the epic story of a Mandalorian, Din Djarin, who goes from bounty hunter to protector of a young child from the lineage of the famous Yoda.

The character of Kuiil came out of his peaceful retreat with the arrival of the Mandalorian. Indeed, he finds him taken to task after a fight by blurrgs, and frees him. He helps the Mandalorian in his quest to find his target and then goes home. The main character of the series returns to the old man's farm to ask him for help, as Jawas have stolen what used to run his ship.

The man agrees to negotiate with the Jawas and proposes the solution to the Mandalorian who accepts the mission to recover his equipment. Kuiil recovers the IG-11 destroyed by the Mandalorian after his departure to repair it and reprogram it as a protection droid. The Mandalorian returns much later and asks him for help. He is surprised to find this battle droid, who will stay close to his master in a new mission.

Kuiil takes charge of the little being and protects him as best he can, because he ends up dying when he frees the droid from the ship. Thus, the IG-11 managed to recover the child and help the Mandalorian. With the arrival of the Mandalorian in his life, Kuiil was able to redeem himself from his former life in service against his will to the Empire. He was buried on his new planet.

The Funko POP Kuiil figurine is a splendid reproduction of the character. We find him standing in front, with his helmet and especially his round glasses characteristic of the character. He carries in his hand a welding tool. With his other hand, he reaches out his hand.

The POP Kuiil figurine with this movement shows the quality of the character who sacrifices himself for the cause. The details on the Kuiil figurine are perfect. All the subtleties of his outfit and his face are reproduced on the figure. Thus we find the moustache hairs up to the white eyebrows and the beard returns of the same color. It is a quality figurine for a character of the same value.
