You don’t have to know anything about Disney or Star Wars to know about Baby Yoda. The little 50-year-old alien has completely taken the world by storm over the last couple months to say the least!
The Baby Yoda craze is not losing steam anytime soon.
Almost immediately after Baby Yoda hit Disney+ subscribers’ screens, crafters and creators alike began making ALL the Baby Yoda things.
From pies , to cookies , to crocheted plushies, and clothing , Baby Yoda has been an unstoppable force.
It was only a matter of time before Build-A-Bear got in on all the Baby Yoda fun, and that time has promptly arrived.
Teaming up with Hollywood isn’t new for Build-A-Bear. Just last year, they released four different collections dedicated to films: Frozen 2 , A Christmas Story , Christmas Vacation , The Grinch , and The Nightmare Before Christmas .
It wasn’t long ago that people were dreaming up the collab.
Baby Yoda makes for the perfect cute toy to fill with stuffing and a little heart.
Build-A-Bear announced the partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm at the ICR Conference in Orlando, Florida, according to Business Insider.
“We started this process almost with the first episode,” CEO Sharon Price John said .
She continued, “I’m excited to share we will be one of the first companies to provide the digital and internet phenomenon who is trending higher than all the presidential candidates combined.”
Baby Yoda has definitely won the popular vote in all our hearts.
Naturally, the Internet began losing their minds.
I mean, people were requesting the bear even before the announcement, so imagine everyone’s excitement when their dream coming to life was actually announced!
Forget kids — full-grown adults are going to be the ones lining up on release day.
The Child is not merely child’s play!
It’s definitely a chance for adults to feel like a kid in a Build-A-Bear again.
I can’t wait to see pictures of grown adults patiently waiting in line to get their Baby Yoda stuffed and do a little twirl with the heart to stick in.
Baby Yoda is like the new Precious Moments. The virality of the alien will be worth the big bucks down the line for sure!
There is no set date on when the Baby Yoda plush will be released, but I’m sure it will be out in no time!
