The first season of The Mandarlorian on the Disney+ streaming service has finished but that hasn't affected the popularity of The Child AKA Baby Yoda, which is being supported by new products like the Hasbro Star Wars The Child Animatronic Edition.
The robotic toy features an interactive design that will allow kids and collectors alike to touch it to trigger one of 25 motion-and-sound sequences. This includes such things as wiggling the ears, closing its eyes, summoning The Force and much more that will recreate the personality of the character from the science fiction show.
The Hasbro Star Wars The Child Animatronic Edition will be priced at $59.99 and is set for a December 2020 launch, which is sure to make it one of the most coveted toys for the holiday season.
