Hasbro unveils new line of Baby Yoda toys, coming to a collector's pristine toy shelf in 2020

Based on how quickly things move on the internet, we’re due for the Baby Yoda backlash to kick in… right about now (just watch, on this week’s Mandalorian it’s going to tweet something problematic). Disney is apparently hoping we’ll stick it out for a few months, though, because CNBC is reporting that Hasbro is ready to launch a new line of Baby Yoda merchandise in spring of 2020. As you probably now from our thorough coverage of the little thing, Disney was unable to prepare any Baby Yoda tie-in products early, because it wanted to retain the surprise of the character’s reveal at the end of The Mandalorian’s first episode. That has forced ravenous Baby Yoda fans to turn to shitty Old Yoda toys, a reasonably good meme where Baby Yoda plays with the Mandalorian’s stereo, and a truly timeless tattoo of Baby Yoda drinking a White Claw.
