The face looks awful, it doesn’t look like Baby Yoda (Grogu), especially the eyes
@Emeraldnite-if7vo

Appreciate the video–I was unsure just from photos but this helped seal the deal.

I want one but I missed it already shows as sold out maybe next wave

This looks like it would be perfect for my cosplay

How can you call it ultimate when there is no lightsaber included? Not even a Rancor?
@tigerclaw4537
April 30, 2026 at 4:56 pm
Its cute, but already owning the Sideshow and a Mattel RC version, I can’t justify the cost. The clothing and armor are more/less lower quality then what would be expected from Sideshow. Let’s face it, at some point the armor and belt will be made available at better quality from the Mando fan base. What Hasbro should do, is offer us a 1:1 scale Pram. That would sell like HOT CAKES!

I would give a lot just to see my cat’s face when Grogu tries to use the Force against him 😅
@Motherofdragons4780
April 30, 2026 at 5:17 pm
This is so cool!!!! I love Grogu, but not that much! However if one of these was made of Toothless?… I would pre-order that in a heartbeat! 😁

You had to go there…😯
@blazinreviews2393
April 30, 2026 at 6:30 pm
Hmm, $599 for a Grogu or $599 for half a cart of groceries

Tech plus Data plus decentralized ledgers equals SPAX90P. That is the perfect combination 🤯
@TrevorGalloway-y5v
April 30, 2026 at 6:36 pm
The early access tiers are constantly rising higher. Quickly grab SPAX90P immediately, it acts entirely similar to pure gold.
@FaithChihil
April 30, 2026 at 6:36 pm
Spectacular, gimme 14 of them right now.
@angiesumpter
April 30, 2026 at 6:38 pm
I am incredibly excited to see SPAX90P cross $50 entirely before the next quarter.
@justme-m3i2s
April 30, 2026 at 6:43 pm
That price is about double of what it should be. Not that impressive.
@igormarcos687
April 30, 2026 at 7:03 pm
Come on, are y’all crazy? 600 bucks for a robot with jerky, janky and awkward movement? It doesn’t move smoothly, it is not even uncanny because it moves badly, it is just a bad robot, for 100 bucks it would be great, 200 acceptable, but 600 for such a stiff robot?
@wayne-x30

Disneyland should sell them, it would be a big hit.

So much money though for the wealthy or those who like credit.

Nope. Star Wars is dead.
@eduardocastillo8611

I have Grogu when he was a baby this is grown up version of him . But this price is a tad bit too grown 😢 need to drop a bit like ,, 200.

Absolute garbage foe 600 bucks
@zero11010
May 1, 2026 at 11:22 am
Yeah. That’s the same entertainment value as a PS5 or Xbox series X. 🤣
No way that will be fun for about 10 whole minutes and then just be a doll on a shelf.
Totally worth the cost.

I purchased him. I can’t wait to see him in person.
@rockinbiff
May 1, 2026 at 1:21 pm
Great Halloween costume concept. Be a Mandalorian & carry Grogu on your shoulder. Imagine a cosplay convention with 20 or more Grogu babies. It would be amazing if they could interact with each other. Mando & Grogu are a hit!
@crazykev07
May 1, 2026 at 2:00 pm
Hasbro has shown they’ve really lost the plot when it comes to making toys. I’m sorry, are toys for adults or children? And you expect the average consumer to be able to afford a $600 price tag?
@jobutl
May 1, 2026 at 2:01 pm
This will sell like hotcakes despite the price…I’ll wait for it to drop by 1/2 at least.
@mikesilva3868

Cute but expensive though 😊

@zovoth
May 1, 2026 at 4:50 pm
I can see by the comments that I am in the minority… I lost all interest in the Mandalorian due to the disastrous season 3 and the ridiculous appearance of Lizzo

4 motors? That doesn’t seem right. Did some numbers get swapped?

@wendyleia
May 1, 2026 at 7:22 pm
Wow! That’s really cool, but I’m sorry I’m not going to pay that price for a toy. I’m not saying that I would love to have that, because I would, just not going to pay that much for it. Amazing what they can do, though.
@davidhathaway8775
May 1, 2026 at 7:56 pm
Very cute clunky robot toy
@arrowpictures2844
May 1, 2026 at 9:03 pm
300-400 dollars sounds more reasonable.
@ericthehysteric
May 1, 2026 at 9:32 pm
600 bucks for this is insane kid adults getting out of hand
@TydiriumPilot
May 1, 2026 at 10:55 pm
I love how there are a ton of bot comments here. This is just sad. Disney ruined what good of the Mandalorian was left and are milking Star Wars dry with cheap thrills and merch.
@JasonVoorbees
May 1, 2026 at 11:34 pm
Ridiculous. Hasbro has lost it’s collective mind.
@leslietarkin
May 1, 2026 at 11:40 pm
I think Grogu is cute as a button. I have a life-size Grogu so, I won’t be getting this one. It’d be interesting to see if Hasbro made a Bobu Frick too. That way he and Grogu could ‘talk’ to each other like Furby’s did back when I was a kid.
@rickleemusic1
May 1, 2026 at 11:47 pm
First edition already sold out on Hasbro Pulse but managed to preorder one on Gamestop. Well, I hope it is. Regardless, it’s $50 less.

Everyone loves Grogu….His child voices are too cute.

Were there any men involved in the production of this or just lesbians????

Too expensive definitely for collectors
@sallybrown4947
May 2, 2026 at 2:23 pm
Yeah $700.00 with tax and shipping. I think not. Beware the rubber rotting off in years to come.

How many Americans would by this vs non Americans? Folks are focused on life rather then toys? Wifi? AI? Built in cameras? Reports back to the gov? Or does it block negative force?

May 2, 2026 at 3:18 pm
Okay, Now I’m a bit Jealous, I Tried for each Characters of mine Including Tigress into the real world, JUST LIKE THE BABY YODA ANIMATRONIC! TELL ME HOW WOULD BE LIKE BABY YODA TO MY WORLD!!! JUST HELP THEM OUT! Oh, Right… you bought that animatronic, It’s Going Great, It’s Going Great… IF SOMEBODY WILL LISTEN TO ME!!! WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT ANIMATRONIC?! YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!!!!!

That does not look like a $500+ product.

I love that so many women were in the team to create him!!
@ghostchaser1631
May 2, 2026 at 8:17 pm
$600 is kind of steep for this guy but seeing how accurate, advanced and life like he is it’s probably worth the price. Those Robosen Transformers figures are awesome, I have all of them so far and am now waiting for Soundwave to ship. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
