This $350 Baby Yoda Statue Is Priceless
by Jordan MinorIn case it wasn’t obvious before, the real reason Disney was so quick to crack down on unofficial Baby Yoda merch on Etsy or whatever was so that they could sell you their limited toys featuring the breakout star of The Mandalorian. The demand to see the baby is off the charts. Countless adoring fans would surely say that no amount of money is too much for the chance to care for their own Baby Yoda. And now they have a chance to prove it with this pricey life-size statue.
Sold by Sideshow Collectibles, this is the most accurate recreation of “The Child” (the name cops call Baby Yoda) we’re ever likely to welcome into our homes. “Created in partnership with Legacy Effects” the 1:1 figure looks shockingly similar to the physical puppet used in the live-action Disney+ Star Wars series.
Baby Yoda stands 16.5 inches tall on his black base. He’s got big ole inquisitive eyes, rubbery ears, and a light dusting of head hair. He’s swaddled in his simple robes and even clutches a little metal ball Mando must’ve just left rolling around. We don’t know if he uses the Force to protect us from danger but I don’t doubt it.
It’s great news that this thing even exists. The bad news is that it costs $350 dollars. You can opt for monthly payment plans for a Star Wars toy. If that’s okay with you, pre-order now for delivery sometime between August and October. Otherwise, Build-A-Bear might be more your speed.
