The Best Baby Yoda Toys
We didn’t know that we needed him, but once we got him, it became quite clear that we can’t live without him. Baby Yoda (whose actual name is The Child or Grogu) burst into the public consciousness (and our hearts) with the release of Disney’s smash hit TV show “The Mandalorian.” Set in the Star Wars extended universe, the show follows the adventures of the titular Mandalorian, a bounty hunter tasked with hunting down a new mark. However, once he finds out this mark is Baby Yoda, he decides to take him under his wing and protect him. Ever since then, everyone and their mother can’t get enough of this little green cutie. There’s been a massive surge of Baby Yoda merchandising as of late, so we’ve sifted through all of it to bring you this list of the best Baby Yoda toys in the galaxy. May the force be with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Baby Yoda related to Yoda?
The short answer is, we don’t know. There was speculation that Baby Yoda was actually the same character as Yoda, but seeing as Yoda was centuries old during the original trilogy, and the Mandalorian takes place around the same time, the timeline doesn’t match. According to John Favreau, the show’s creator, both characters are undoubtedly from the same species. Favreau would not comment when asked if they were related, however. Many fan theories connect the two green force-users by blood, but we will all have to keep watching the show to find out for sure.
How old is Baby Yoda?
Oddly enough, Baby Yoda isn’t a baby at all. He’s about 50 years old during the events of “The Mandalorian.” Before “The Mandalorian,” we could assume that uncharacteristically long lifespans are common in this species because Yoda was centuries old during the original trilogy. We did not know, however, that it took many years for their species to reach full maturity. For all we know, Baby Yoda could be a baby until he’s 100 years old.
