We've already seen an incredibly realistic $ 350 figure of "The Boy" from Star Wars: The Mandalorian , and we've seen countless additional versions of this beloved character that we've all dubbed Baby Yoda for obvious reasons. But Hasbro and Disney are going to go one step further with an animatronic version of "El Niño" that moves.
The Animatronic edition will launch this fall according to Hasbro, and can be ordered in advance at Amazon.com for $ 59.99. The estimated delivery date, yes, is December 15 . But the wait may be worth it because it's really like the Baby Yoda of the series. This "El Niño" doll works with two AAA batteries (included in the box) and has speakers inside so you can hear him babble like a baby. Since your arms move, you can really see the force in action.
In total, "El Niño" has more than 25 combinations of sounds and movements that come from The Mandalorian series. The eyes will open and close, the ears will be animated as the arms and head move.

We were able to see the Animatronic edition in action recently, and it's really impressive. Close your eyes, stretch your arms and sigh deeply. It shows that it is incredibly complex inside, as we saw in action in The Mandalorian . You will also relax during the day with thoughtful gestures and sweet lullabies. In addition, with sensors on board, it can react to the movement, and when you put it to take a nap, it will close your eyes.
For the price, you get a really awesome toy. The Animatronic edition of “El Niño” joins a lot of other offers of Baby Yoda from Hasbro, including the talking stuffed animal, which will be launched in the spring for $ 24.99 and is available to book now. This version of "El Niño" measures 7.5 inches and includes a soup bowl and a frog.
For those who want an articulated figure, there is a 6.5-inch from $ 19.99 from Hasbro or the cute 2.2-inch collectible series. And if you're looking for The Mandalorian's ship, the Lego version of Razor Crest will launch this fall for $ 129.99 and there is much more.
