Oh boy, where are you located? I am guessing east coast, but which state exactly?
Since they don't ship to India, I chose an address in Washington where my cousin lives which turned out to be $134.57.
I now chose a friend's address in California and it's $102.94, less than before, but still too much.
I also thought of shipping to my parcel forwarding address in New Jersey, but I guess anything beyond California is going to be over $130, like what you got.

There are no other official retailers for ECC in US. Couple of these international sites seems to be outdated, but most sites are working.
I initially thought maybe the Prop Store tooth was a foam version, since the ECC product listing mentioned that. But looking at the auction listing, it's mentioned as resin.
There is bound to be discoloration and wear to the prop, but judging from the photos, the mold itself seem different. So yeah likely different versions had to be used for the animatronic. Prop Store one has a smooth surface, while the ECC replica has way more details and texture. I wonder what they used for their paint reference, whether the studio gave production photos or ECC had to take creative liberties if they were no reference materials available to them.
Also here is the difference in dimensions.
Replica: 6.3" x 2.4" x 1.5" (16 cm x 6 cm x 4 cm)
Prop : 4 3/4" x 2" x 1 3/4" (12 cm x 5 cm x 4.5 cm)
