While The Mandalorian is a great show in itself, there is no doubt that Star Wars fans have completely fallen in love with Baby Yoda. The character's massive popularity is evident, not just in merchandise, but also with food, drinks, or basically anything, really. But what proves his popularity the most is the number of people that brought his Funko Pop figure.

Baby Yoda's figure is the best-selling Funko Pop of all time and is confirmed via a recent video interview with Funko Art Director Reis O'Brien. In the clip, he talked about the process of developing the character's figure, clarifying that they didn't really know a lot about The Child because the studio had to keep information under wraps.

Given the time that the character was introduced, from the announcement of the figure to the actual release of the product, there's no denying of Baby Yoda's popularity amongst Star Wars fans and the general audience.

The figure was actually unveiled in December and is set for release in May, but the 10-inch figure is currently sold out on Amazon. However, if you haven't pre-ordered one yet, there are some other options for you to have an actual physical form of the Child.

While it's harder to reserve for a Baby Yoda plush toy since they are harder to produce in quantity, fans can still get a talking plush from Hasbro and reservations for backorder on Mattel's 11-inch plush can be made via Entertainment Earth. And although it's the most expensive one of the bunch, the life-size Baby Yoda figure from Sideshow is still available for pre-order for $350. It is pricier, but it's basically the exact replica of the character, so if you can, why not, right?

If you didn't or if you can't purchase any of these Baby Yoda merch, it's totally fine! You can still catch the adventures of the Child with Din Djarin in the second season of The Mandalorian, which is set for release in October 2020.
