Disney’s new ‘Baby Yoda’ toy can make sounds and move
The latest “Baby Yoda” figure that will be soon hitting the shelves is animatronic that can make noise and move its head.
The newest toy was unveiled at the New York Toy Fair, along with other toys coming soon based on “Star Wars: The Mandalorian” and “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
The latest The Child figure – affectionately called “Baby Yoda” – went on pre-order today. You can go to shopDisney here to see. The animatronic toy’s head activates over 25 sound and motion combinations, including happy and excited sounds, giggles, babbles, and more, all while the figure’s head moves up and down, ears move back and forth, and eyes open and close.
Tapping the toys head three times has the animatronic toy raise its arm, close its eyes, and sigh, as if using the Force. If you lay The Child toy down it will close its eye and take a “Force nap.”
The video below gives a brief look at how the toy works.
