First, he was "The Bounty." Then, he was "The Child." Then his name was finally revealed to be Grogu. But you know what? Psssh to all that. He will forever be known in our hearts as Baby Yoda, even if he isn't really the baby form of the Yoda we know and love at all, he's his own person. (And a pretty mischievous one at that.)
If you know a Baby Yoda fan, they're in luck. There's a bounty, pardon the pun, of Baby Yoda toys coming out this year, and they're all just as adorable as he is. From interactive toys to board games to building sets to clothes, you'll be able to find the best Baby Yoda gift for any fans, young and old. (We also have recommendations for Star Wars gifts for those who are into the universe, but are not so enamored of The Child.) With one of these, the fan in your life won't be so sad that we don't know the release date of The Mandalorian's next season. (It can't be that long, right? RIGHT?) If you're looking for something for your Mandalorian-loving friends and family, this is the way.
This second generation of Baby Yoda animatronics is even more sophisticated than the first. It comes with four accessories (a bowl with tentacles, a cookie, a shifter knob and a spoon) that each elicit different reactions. It also holds up both hands when it wants to be picked up, and makes "yummy" and "yucky" sounds when you feed it. It's available for pre-order and will be released on December 1. Ages 4+

This 7.5" plush figure actually talks — well, maybe not in actual words (he's still a baby after all), but he makes character sounds.
