The Force is strong with Hasbro's new animatronic Baby Yoda toy.
The actual-sized figure of The Mandalorian's The Child comes to life with animatronic motions and sounds taken directly from the hit Disney+ series. Arriving in Fall 2020, this lifelike recreation of The Asset will retail for $59.99 and is intended for ages four and up. He also comes with the Mandalorian's pendant, as given to him by his mentor Din Djarin. In addition to a new video ad for the toy, more photos of it appear below.
According to the official product description,
From HASBRO’S STAR WARS Collection comes THE CHILD ANIMATRONIC EDITION toy with sounds and motorized sequences! He may look like “BABY YODA,” but this lovable creature is called THE CHILD -- and now you can become his protector with this animatronic toy from STAR WARS. Touching the top of THE CHILD’S head activates over 25 sound and motion combinations, including happy and excited sounds, giggles, babbles, and more, all while the toy’s head moves up and down, ears move back and forth, and eyes open and close. Boys and girls can pretend to harness the power of the Force as THE CHILD toy closes its eyes, raises its arm, and sighs as if exerting a great amount of energy. Lay THE CHILD toy down and it will close its eyes and take a “Force nap.” Includes figure and Mandalorian pendant. Requires 2 AAA batteries, included. Available at most major retailers.
This animatronic figure isn't the only Baby Yoda that Hasbro has in the works. A Black Series figure of The Child, retailing for $9.99, will be available as soon as this spring, alongside a talking plus toy ($24.99), 6.5-inch figure ($19.99) and the Bounty Collection 2.2-inch collectibles ($7.99).
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito and Emily Swallow. Season 1 is streaming now on Disney+. Season 2 is slated to arrive this October.
