Remember when the hit show The Mandalorian came out in November on Disney+? And parents everywhere were like great, cool, excuse me but where do I purchase toy versions of this adorable Baby Yoda child right now this minute? And Disney was like lol suckers, you don’t get any, we’re going to keep them under wraps until February 2020? Well. We’re relieved to announce that this extremely trying time of Baby-Yoda-less-ness in kids’ toy boxes everywhere has finally come to a close: In advance of this weekend’s New York Toy Fair, Disney has unveiled its whole batch of Baby Yoda toys. You know, the ones we’ve been waiting three months for.
“Holding back on product development gave everyone the chance to discover the character affectionately known to fans as Baby Yoda together,” Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau he said in a statement Thursday, of his choice to — somewhat cruelly, some may argue — ask Disney to hold of on making the toy merchandice. Yep, even during the Baby Yoda Meme Frenzy of 2019.
“This is something special in the age of spoilers,” Favreau added.
Well lucky us, because the spoilers are out and the wait is over. While it’s been possible to shop a few Baby Yoda toys online over the past couple months, the official ones are now available courtesy of the creators, right there in the Disney store.Today’s merchandise launch includes the official The Child (that’s Baby Yoda, you know) plush and bobble head toys, Disney’s Razor Crest Playset by LEGO, a Mandalorian rocket gauntlet, and a ton of other non-toy Baby Yoda goodies, from tees to iPhone cases — all available for preorder today.
Read on for all the best buys for your Star Wars-loving child. (See how we’re pretending you’re not buying these toys for yourself? We know you are. No judgment here.)

The Child Plush – Star Wars: The Mandalorian
The toy Baby Yoda fans have all been waiting for, this official plush of The Child is available for preorder now and will be out in June — faux suede coat and all. In the words of Disney, “May the hugs be with you!” (Pretty awful but also amazing.)
The Child Pop! Vinyl Bobble Head Figure by Funko
Or perhaps bobble heads are more your toy style than stuffies? Kids and adults alike will love this cute wiggly guy — bonus points if you gift it to your new teen driver for their dashboard. So nerd-chic.
The Razor Crest Playset by LEGO
This epic set by LEGO lets kids help the Mandalorian and The Child and all their co-conspirators do what they do best: build this transport shuttle and then fly it around the universe, aka your kid’s bedroom. It even comes with a cockpit and escape pod.
‘The Mandalorian’ Rocket Gauntlet By Nerf
The only Mandalorian toy in the Disney store that you can actually purchase today (rather than preorder), this rocket gauntlet is loved by children and feared by interior designers everywhere. But just tell them it’s an Outside Toy, okay?

Okay so it’s not a toy, but what kid wouldn’t be proud to be the subject of such an honor? And what Force-loving parent wouldn’t want to rock this on their minivan? You know you want to.
The Child ”Levitate” Car Magnet – Star Wars: The Mandalorian
This one too. It’s pretty perfect — and hilarious. Not to mention perfect for the ever-competitive world that is school dropoff and pickup, right?
