Disney announced on Tuesday that Funko Pop figures and a plush toy from Mattel of the popular character from " The Mandalorian " TV series could be pre-ordered on shopDisney.com, but they won't be available until the spring.
Baby Yoda has been the unquestionable viral sensation of the new hit television show. Business Insider's Travis Clark recently reported that a Funko representative said that "fans, press, and retailers have been absolutely blown away by the response" to the toy.
"The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau said that Disney purposely hid evidence of the character so as not to spoil the series before it aired, which included avoiding sending materials related to the character to retailers ahead of time.
A larger version of the Baby Yoda Funko toy currently occupies Amazon's No. 3 spot in its action figures best-seller list.
