Even if you haven’t been watching The Mandalorian, you can’t escape the adorable clutches of The Child AKA Baby Yoda. But up until now, the merchandise offerings for the little guy have been disappointing, to say the least. Zazzle-style t-shirts, cups, and totes were all you could find. Thankfully, new toys are now available to pre-order on shopDisney!
From Funko
Funko knows their Star Wars (see my tour of Funko Hollywood, if you want proof). The collectibles company has two different POP! bobblehead figures in the pipeline. There is the 3 and 3/4 inches tall one ($12.99) and the super-sized 10-inch tall one ($29.99). These figures are expected to become available on May 13 and June 3, respectively.
From Mattel
You asked for it, you got it. Mattel is making a plush of The Child. The face looks so detailed because it has a vinyl head, rather than being entirely plush material. This 11-inch plush will cost $24.99 and release April 1.
From Buffalo Games
This item is from Amazon. It’s a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle with art from The Mandalorian. It also includes a bonus poster with the same art. The finished puzzle measures 21 and 1/4 inches by 15 inches. It may be currently out of stock (these items are popular, after all) but you can sign up to be notified of when it is available again.
From Hasbro
While we don’t have any images or links yet, expect to see Baby Yoda in merchandise lines like The Black Series and Vintage Collections as well. For the time being, Disney and its merchandise partners are scrambling to meet the Baby Yoda demand by sharing concept art of items for pre-order. The question is, will Baby Yoda still be a hot commodity by the time the merchandise is actually released.
