Ever since the Mandalorian show came out on Disney Plus, Disney’s new streaming subscription service, consumers everywhere have been obsessed with “The Child,” or as many are calling it, “Baby Yoda.” Currently, Mattel’s Baby Yoda plush (available for pre-order at $24.99) is the No. 1 best-selling product on Amazon in the plush figure toys category.
All of The Child plush toys are only available for pre-order, and at first Disney said the product would not be available until April 1, 2020. On Amazon, the availability date isn’t until May of 2020, as well as other toy manufacturers including Hasbro and Funko Pop, which said they will ship The Child toys in either May or June of 2020. Well, April came and went, and now Disney.com says that the plush toys will not be ready to ship until June 1, 2020. Amazon.com still says consumers may receive the toy anytime in between May 20 – June 11, 2020. The reasoning for the continued pushback has yet to be explained, but in any case, ‘ready for these popular products, you must be.’
EE Distribution has a plethora of Mandalorian products that you can start selling right now, including apparel, magnets, pins, water bottles, mugs, and many others. You can shop on their website at www.eedistribution.com. And here are some exciting Mandalorian toys, as well as their availability dates, from Disney:
The Child Animatronic Edition
This version of The Child from Hasbro is most likely the toy that everyone will want. The Child makes over 25 sounds and motion combinations. All you need to do is touch its head to get it moving. The Baby Yoda figure giggles, babbles, and its little ears move up and down. The Child’s eyes also open and close so you can lay it down for a nap.
