Star Wars: First Look at Build-A-Bear's Baby Yoda

The Mandalorian was a smash hit for Disney+, but besides out main Mando Din Djarin, the character that the internet collectively fell in love with was the child a.k.a. Baby Yoda. Disney is actually teaming up with Build-A-Bear to make a Baby Yoda plushie, and we have our first look at the merch.

Check it out:

Build-A-Bear's CEO Sharon Price John also had this to say about the upcoming plush toy at the ICR 2020 Conference in Orlando (via USA Today):

"I'm excited to share that we will be one of the first companies to be able to provide the new digital and internet phenomenon, who actually is trending higher than all the presidential candidates combinedā€¦ If any of you has seen 'The Mandalorian,' we now will have The Child, also known as Baby Yoda."

While a lot of people are excited to get their hands on this Baby Yoda toy, a release date has not been revealed by Build-A-Bear. Rest assured, he will release in ā€˜a couple of months.' We don't know how long the wait has to be, but I expect that they'll try to synergize it with the return of The Mandalorian Season 2 which is expected to hit this coming fall.

Despite his internet popularity, Baby Yoda remains a mystery in the series. Heck, Din hasn't even given it a name yet. At some point, people are speculating the child's origin, and some are guessing that he's an actual clone of Jedi Master Yoda.

Is he? We'll just have to wait and see. The second season of The Mandalorian will come out on Disney+ later this year around the fall season.
