Recently, Hasbro revealed a slew of "Star Wars" products and toys that will go on sale and be available for preorder starting in May, 2020. With the announcement, the company has released a crop of positively enchanting new toys.
Animatronic Baby Yoda
The most eye- (and ear) catching of all these toys is an animatronic toy that looks, sounds and even moves like Baby Yoda. By touching the top of The Child's head, you activate its over 25 sounds and movement combinations, which include happy, excited sounds like giggling and babbling, head movements, eye blinking and ear wiggling. Yes, it is beyond adorable.
The animatronic toy will even try to harness the power of the force, raising its little arms, closing its eyes and sighing from the "incredible energy it's exerting." To take the lifelike nature of this animatronic up just another notch, if you lay this Baby Yoda down, it will close its eyes and take a "Force nap." This figure will be available at most major retailers beginning Fall, 2020 and will retail for about $59.99.
