Where鈥檚 Baby Yoda?

Quite possibly the hottest toy of the season won鈥檛 be found in stores until the New Year, according to Matthew Purdy, owner of Toy Traders in 91原创.

鈥淚t鈥檚 way bigger than Baby Groot, it鈥檚 bigger than Cabbage Patch鈥� and there鈥檚 no toys,鈥� he said.

A new character introduced in a Star Wars series The Mandalorian on Disney+ was an instant hit, but the doll was never put into production until after the premiere of the show, Purdy explained.

鈥淚f you produce toys in China or Vietnam two or three months before the release date the secret gets out鈥� so they kept it totally hidden,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he T.V. show came out and here鈥檚 this creature the whole world has fallen in love with.鈥�

Toy Traders is taking pre-orders to ensure fans of the character have a doll reserved when they hit the shelves next year.
