Build-A-Bear is releasing a Baby Yoda cuddly toy – and even adults want it

Listen up, Star Wars fans.

Build-A-Bear will soon be selling Baby Yoda cuddly toys.

The character was made famous by the fantasy film series’ TV spin-off The Mandalorian.

It has since become an internet sensation, being used in countless memes on social media.

Build-A-Bear is undoubtedly trying to cash in on this trend, with CEO Sharon Price commenting: “I’m excited to share we will be one of the first companies to provide the digital and internet phenomenon who is trending higher than all the presidential candidates combined.

"We now will have The Child, also known as Baby Yoda."

The Baby Yoda toy can be snapped up along with a small bone broth cup, ball toy, and Sorgan frog.

The toy is currently only available to pre-order for US customers.

And while rumours say it won’t be available until Star Wars Day (May 4), fans have already been getting excited about the release.

One Twitter user remarked: “Build-A-Bear is coming out with a Baby Yoda stuffed animal – and all I’m saying is somebody better get me one.”

Another said: “There’s gonna be a Baby Yoda plushie at Build-A-Bear and I’m not saying I need it. But I need it.”

And a third joked: “How many grown adults are going to be going to Build-A-Bear to build a Baby Yoda?”

The Baby Yoda toy is likely to drop in UK Build-a-Bear stores in the coming months.

Until then, you can shop other items from the Star Wars collection.

Darth Vader Bears, Chewbaccas and Ewoks are among the cute plushies you can pick up at the moment.

According to the retailer’s website, the movie-inspired toys retail from £21.50.
