Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn‘s MCU swan song (seeing as how he’s switching teams) is a huge hit and a satisfying conclusion to the very fun trilogy. One of the surprise breakout characters from that movie is the adorable Blurp, a Ravager pet that ends up being very important in the movie. Gunn, like the rest of us, wants some Blurp merch ASAP.
Recommended VideosGunn took to his main social media communication platform Twitter and retweeted a Marvel fan’s tweet about a real life Blurp action figure. It understandably has people really excited. We haven’t had an cute sci fi character for a while now, as Baby Yoda has made the transition to toddler mech Yoda (yes I know his name is Grogu, leave me alone).
I wish this was real. 😔 https://t.co/gPyN3qUq0V

Guardians of the Galaxy was amazing!!! But why aren’t Disney selling a blurp plush?? I want one omg 😭 pic.twitter.com/sTdkXkIsgg
— elle 💌🧸 (@ElleRoseex) May 13, 2023With all this attention, it feels like Disney should… listen to everyone. We want a Blurp plush, Disney, how hard could it be? If Disney figured out how to outfox Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, then surely it can oblige us with a furry reminder that all we need is Blurp.
