Moderate; essential for completionists of the Season 11 lineup. Kai remains one of the most popular characters in the franchise.

Overall Assessment
A solid, highly-detailed representation of Kai. While not the rarest figure, the printing on the legs and torso is top-tier for a play-set minifigure.
