Baby Yoda toys from Walt Disney Co's streaming TV hit 'The Mandalorian...
NEW YORK - Baby Yoda toys from Walt Disney Co’s streaming TV hit “The Mandalorian” will reach store shelves next month, the company said on Thursday, after missing the 2019 holiday shopping season.
Fans have clamored for toys and merchandise since the service’s debut in November. But Baby Yoda toys were not available before the premier season of “The Mandalorian” because the creators wanted to maintain the show’s secrecy, executive producer Dave Filoni said in an interview in New York.Disney partnered with toy makers Hasbro Inc, Funko Inc and Mattel Inc to make board games, figures and costumes.
Paul Southern, senior vice president of franchise for the “Star Wars” consumer products division for Lucasfilm, said during a panel that he and his product development team were on a tighter deadline to create products, despite missing the holiday shopping season, which caused much controversy with fans.Southern said that Disney+ has completely changed how the company releases products.
“Disney+ is a different paradigm,” Southern said. “People are going to see products on shelves on a 365-day basis.”
