In Destiny 2 everyone is crazy about the baby Fallen from the new trailer for Season 14. You can now officially get these little rascals as plush toys, but why does it cost an incredible €777,777?
It’s all about these little rascals: In Destiny 2, the new Season 14 starts on May 11. Bungie fueled anticipation with a coolly staged trailer. But sweet baby aliens stole the show from the new weapons and the scary story about the eternal darkness.
Although the Fallen offspring was only visible for a brief moment, it was enough to captivate the Destiny community and make the Stasis-frozen Guardian hearts melt.
A real hype broke out around the Fallen babies. The internet was flooded with memes and comparisons to Baby Yoda (Grogu) from the “Star Wars” series The Mandalorian. MeinMMO reported that players in Destiny 2 are crazy about cute aliens that look like Baby Yoda.
The Guardians agreed: They wanted, no, they needed plush toys of the little rascals in real life, who gaze at you with their 4 eyes. Some users even “threatened” Bungie that they would uninstall Destiny 2 if plush versions were not released soon (via Twitter).
Buy baby Fallen plush toys for only €777,777.77?
The dream came true: In record time, the desire for baby Fallen plush toys has been fulfilled. You can order the heartthrobs from the official Bungie Store. The announcement tweet (via Twitter) has since garnered over 13,000 likes and is causing almost dental cavities with all the cuteness.
The price is a mere €777,777.77 (or dollars). Here’s what the plush toys are supposed to look like:
Why is the price so high? The absurd price of €777,777.77 is a placeholder that Bungie often uses. Many items in the store appear to be that expensive. By achieving in-game accomplishments in Destiny 2, you then receive an enormous discount.
Only through certain triumphs and the like can you then indulge in replicas of well-known weapons at normal, reasonable prices. By the way, the number is a reference to Bungie’s favorite number, which is 7. For example, on 7.7. is the “Bungie Day”, one of the rarest medals is the 7th Column and otherwise, the developer seems quite obsessed with the number 7.
How much the plush toys will actually cost in the end, we cannot say at this time.
These official details we have: This is how Bungie advertises the item in the store: You have already fallen in love with the cute Eliksni plush bugs. Get one of them home now. (Eliksni is what the Fallen call themselves in their own language). The catch: There is still no exact delivery date.
- The plush toys are expected to be released before the end of 2021, an email will inform interested buyers.
- A plush Fallen baby is about 25 centimeters tall. (10 inches)
- Numskull Designs is responsible for the production. They are specialists in merchandise for gaming and movie franchises. Numskull has products from Halo, Resident Evil, Harry Potter, and Rick & Morty in their range (via numskull.com)

In conclusion, here’s a GIF nominated by Bungie as “Artist of the Week” – of course with a baby Fallen:
What do you think? Did Bungie quickly respond to the community’s request here, and can you hardly wait to cuddle with your little Fallen? Or do you think the community is overreacting and smells cold calculation to boost merchandise sales?
