Thanks to Hasbro, Star Wars, and The Mandalorian, fans are getting the chance to bring home a life-sized animatronic version of the iconic “Baby Yoda.”
As we inch closer to The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting theaters, the merchandise rollout continues going strong. Today, Hasbro pulled the curtain back on the Ultimate Grogu, a full 1:1 scale animatronic of the little green guy who stole our hearts from The Mandalorian‘s first episode.
It’s kind of nuts. With soft “skin,” hair rooted into the scalp, and detailed recreations of his clothing, this thing walks—toddles—talks, and acts like the character we all know and love from the show.
“Our goal with Ultimate Grogu was to make fans feel like he’s truly part of their world,” said Adam Biehl, Head of Disney Action Brands at Hasbro. “Our design and development team spent hours studying how the character came to life in The Mandalorian series, striving to capture his personality and movements in a way that honors what Lucasfilm delivered in entertainment. Powered by our long-standing collaboration with Disney Consumer Products, we’re launching the most life-like, interactive, and expressive Grogu character Hasbro has ever created.”
The Ultimate Grogu product features built-in motors, sensors, and microphones to deliver over 250 animations and sounds. The animatronic boasts three different modes of play which include endearing movements like waving, giggling and even “toddling” forward, in ways that make him incredibly life-like. Ultimate Grogu features premium materials, painstakingly crafted into screen-accurate details, such as his soft skin face and rooted hair, soft fabric robe, chainmail, cross strap, satchel and beskar rondel armor inspired by the Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu film, only in theaters starting May 22, and the Disney+ series.
Ultimate Grogu is available for pre-order now on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and Fan Channel retailers. There are actually two different pre-orders. One, is the limited First Edition which will ship later this year, while the mainline release arrives in early 2027. Both come in at $599.99.
