Since The Mandalorian debuted in November, the world has been enthralled with Baby Yoda, or “The Child.” He has since been recreated in all manner of materials, from the edible to the artisanal.
When Build-A-Bear announced they would be collaborating with Star Wars to create a plushie Baby Yoda, fans were on the edge of their seats.
I mean, Baby Yoda on screen is cute. Imagine what a plush version of him — all soft and squishy — would do to your heart? (Melt it, I’d expect.)
Now the toy company has released its first images of the bear, and OMG, it does not disappoint.

Just look at that soft material and attention to detail. Don’t you just want to cuddle up with him and a cup of soup?

It’s no wonder this little guy is trending higher than all the presidential candidates combined, according to Build-A-Bear CEO Sharon Price John.
He’s sure to be a hot collector’s item.
