Being a faithful fan of the original Star Wars trilogy, I am not huge on the prequels, let alone the first live action series, The Mandalorian. But man, the appearance of The Child, aka Baby Yoda, in the series really gets me.
It is adorable. But wait. Stop it. How could I ever think the Jedi sage as adorable!? Ugh. I have stop thinking Yoda is cute. He is not. Then again, The Child isn’t Yoda. So I guess it is OK to think this alien species is cute? Anywho, I think its cuteness would be a Force that compels fans to buy its life-size figure.
Developed by Sideshow and Legacy Effects, you can own this galaxy’s most sought-after bounty and with no strings attached. Nobody will be after your ass for picking up The Child and he will most definitely not give you a slip. Official words:
The Child Life-Size Figure measures 16.5” tall, standing on a simple ship deck base that lets this adorable alien steal all of the focus- along with the Mandalorian’s ship parts. Inspired by its unique onscreen appearance, this mixed media statue features a tan fabric coat swaddling The Child as it gazes up with charming wide eyes, hiding the silver shift knob from the Razor Crest™ in its right hand.
With Life-size The Mandalorian Baby Yoda Figure now a reality (well, it is when it becomes available in Aug-Oct 2020), you are only short of a life-size Mando to complete the Clan of Two.
Life-size The Mandalorian Baby Yoda Figure (officially, The Child Life-size Figure by Sideshow Collectibles) is available for pre-order for $350.
