Travisma 1,317 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 https://gizmodo.com/hasbros-baby-yoda-animatronic-is-too-cute-and-somehow-o-1841809285 The link has videos Hasbro's Baby Yoda Animatronic Is Too Cute and Somehow Only $60 Baby Yoda was definitely the break out star of The Mandalorian, but it also looks like he’s the breakout star of this year’s Toy Fair too. A slew of Baby Yoda toys just dropped at a Disney event today, but of all of them, this animatronic plush by Hasbro is the highlight The Child Animatronic Plush by Hasbro, as you might expect, is incredibly lifelike in person. He burbles and coos, like a good baby should. His ears wiggle up and down. His head quirks from side to side, and every so often, Baby Yoda extends a tiny arm to use the force. The bassinet is on point. Looking at it, you can kinda get why Mando’s hardened bounty-hunter heart would melt. According to Hasbro, touching Baby Yoda’s head activates over 25 sound and motion combinations. Also, if you lay him down, he’ll take a “force nap.” The animatronic goes on preorder today, and its somehow only $60. You get that stylish necklace to go along with the baby, but we’ve been told the bassinet is not included. Regardless, that’s pretty reasonable, especially considering how realistic this little guy looks in person. No word as of yet how many of these Hasbro plans to make, but at the event, a Hasbro spokesperson said they expected them to go fast. At a panel, Disney also said the Baby Yoda toys unveiled today should begin shipping later this Spring. The animatronic however, is slated for later this fall. In the meantime...LOOK AT HIM.

Travisma 1,317 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 “The Mandalorian” Character Meet and Greet Coming Soon to Disney Parks With big merchandise reveals and previews today for Star Wars fans (and a huge “The Clone Wars” premiere tomorrow), they’d better hold on to their lightsabers, because the Force is about to get a little stronger at Disney Parks. With the resounding success of “The Mandalorian” series on Disney+, Disney and Lucasfilm are scrambling to meet the unexpected demand for Baby Yoda merch and all things Mando. With merchandise already in production and set to hit stores soon, the next integration involves the Disney Parks––in the form of an upcoming character meet and greet. According to the latest publication from In The Know, a Lucasfilm official has confirmed an upcoming Mando meet and greet coming soon to Disney Parks: There’s no question that “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge,” which opened inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2019, would make a great home to a real-life Mando — and perhaps even an animatronic Child. So when will these hotly-anticipated photo ops become a reality? While there’s been no official announcement just yet, Lucasfilm’s senior vice president of licensing, Paul Southern, indicated that meeting Mando will soon be a staple attraction, exclusively telling In The Know that it can be expected in the “very near future.” “So, the reality is that we feel it’s really important for our guests at the parks to be able to meet all of our key characters on a first-hand, personal basis,” Southern told In The Know. “And so it’s something we’re working on. We think it’s appropriate, and I think it’s something the guests at the parks can look forward to in the very near future.” As Mandalorian tradition dictates, Mando would be a fully costumed character. Since he never takes off his mask (this is the way), it might be a bit easier to cast him. As far as Baby Yoda goes, however, there’s far more development that would be required for that character, be it a full on audio-animatronic or some other complex creature creation, but it’s exciting to know that hope is on the horizon. (And for the record, I will not gladly smuggle frogs into Disney’s Hollywood Studios to feed Baby Yoda a snacky-snack.) Link to post Share on other sites
