Good question. It’s more like $9 to manufacture and ship + lots of fees (e.g. child safety certifications) and taxes. Shipping alone via air fright is about $5.5k for only 1000. (Of course a lot less via sea freight, but it takes 30-60 days)
go the fuck away, please! this is not the place to advertise your insane gun-worshipping bullshit!

You know what the no. 1 killer of children is in America right now. Guns.
This shit isn’t cute. We’re in a fucking crisis and making death sticks cute and cuddle does not help…

The people at your company who thought of this ought to be deeply ashamed of themselves, promoting the fetishization of firearms, and marketing it to kids.

All some people ever think about is how to line their pockets, even if it’s on the backs of dead children… And we wonder what’s wrong with our country… Shit like this.

It’s only a matter of time before someone puts a real gun in one of these, assuming the manufacturer doesn’t already have a ‘tactical pocket’ ready to conceal a gun in the thing already.

Ya know, Kickstarter also ought to be reminded that this isn’t a good or cute thing.
ETA: Hey, look at the “prohibited items” list on Kickstarter! Go down to the last one.
https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prohibited?ref=rules
Weapons, replicas of weapons, and weapon accessories.
Does it count? Yes, it’s a plushie, but it’s a plushie representing a weapon.
They certainly seem to like knives, too. Half this stuff wouldn’t make it through TSA.

… oh okay
I thought this was an actual gun that could be fired
I guess “yes, it’s real” meant something else

Got to turn them into no-plow shares. [Watches that show with a spider for the under 6 mo. set with the companion reader. So serious about EDC.]
