Spotted: Baby Yoda Plush Reappears In Disney Springs!

If there is a Baby Yoda plush left on this planet, we WILL find it.

Baby Yoda Plush

This adorable plush of The Child from The Mandalorian popped up at the recently reopened World of Disney, but sold out in a flash. So we headed BACK to Disney Springs seeking an (adorable) bounty.

We made our way switfty to World of Disney, and much to our surprise — there was no wait! We waltzed on in and — what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature creature STACKED with a bunch of his pals.

Baby Yoda Plush

This layout reminded us a bit of the Little Green Men waiting for THE CLAW in Toy Story. But this little green dude is waiting for a new home with that precious little smirk. If history repeats itself, these little plushes may not stick around for long. So if you’re on the [bounty] hunt in Disney Springs, now is your chance!

Check out what else is new in World of Disney here!

Lucasfilm Reveals Freaky Original Concept Art for “Baby Yoda” in The Mandalorian

Lucasfilm Reveals Freaky Original Concept Art for “Baby Yoda” in The Mandalorian. In the latest episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian Lucasfilm and Disney revealed some of the original concept art for the internet sensation, The Child, aka Baby Yoda. The team received a ton of drawings and renderings for the character but ultimately chose a design based off Chris Alzmann’s now iconic character design.

The production team also knew they wanted to use the tried and true method at Lucasfilm of using puppetry and mechanics for realism rather than a CGI version of the character. One of the series stars, Werner Herzog was adamant the production team should ditch the idea of a contingency plan revolving around a CGI rendering of “The Child” for the series.

“It was a phenomenal achievement of sculpting mechanically. When I saw this, it was so convincing, it was so unique,” Herzog shared with The New York Times. “And then the producers talked about, ‘Shouldn’t we have a fallback version with green screen and have it be completely digitally created?’ I said to them: It would be cowardly. You are the trailblazers. Show the world what you can do.”

We got lots and lots of drawings,” shared show runner and creator Jon Favreau in the latest episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian. “Some of them were too cute, some of them were too ugly, some of them were the wrong proportions.”

“It was finally that one image that Chris Alzmann did that had him wrapped up in what looked like a piece of a flight jacket or something,” the creator confessed. “And his eyes were a little weird, and he looked a little out of it, there was something a little off with it. But we found it charming, and that became the rallying image that we said, ‘This is good.’”

It did not take long after the premiere of the first episode of The Mandalorian in November 2019 for the world to fall in love with Baby Yoda. Favreau previously credited Disney and Lucasfilm with the success of the series after they refrained from spoiling the characters appearance with the release of themed merchandise until after the series premiere, a very uncommon practice now a days.

Do you agree keeping “Baby Yoda” secret was a good idea? Were you surprised by the reveal at the end of Episode 1? Have you been enjoying The Mandalorian on Disney+? What do you think of the original concept art? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

What’s New at World of Disney in Disney Springs: Inflatable Minnie Ears, Baby Yoda Plush, and Gifts for Grads!

As of yesterday, several Disney-owned locations reopened in Disney Springs.

World of Disney

And while yesterday there was over a three-hour wait to get inside World of Disney, today we walked right in! Let’s take a look around and see what’s in stock at the moment!

Disney Springs began a phased reopening last week with third-party stores and restaurants, but yesterday Disney-owned stores such as World of Disney and Marketplace Co-Op began reopening as well.

Ears Section

World of Disney has posted its hours as 10AM to 10PM (the same as Disney Springs) so we were a little surprised to see the store was open to guests at 8AM today! A Cast Member we spoke to said they decided to get an early jump on the day in order to “get a better handle on things.” At this time we’re not sure if the store will be changing it’s operating hours because she seemed to imply they are taking things day by day!

Men’s Section

And unlike yesterday, we didn’t have to use the new virtual queue system to go shopping at World of Disney today! Like we said, we simply walked right in because there were hardly any crowds!

2020 Merch

While we did see some Cast Members wearing gloves restocking the shelves, we DIDN’T see a few items we spotted yesterday.

See how different Disney Springs looks today compared to yesterday here!

Sold Out

The Baby Yoda Plush for $24.99 has sold out and they don’t know when he will be coming back. 

Baby Yoda Plush is Sold Out

They had about ten of the left from yesterday when the store reopened, but they’re already flown off the shelves!

Read more about the super-popular Baby Yoda Plush here!

Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction merchandise is also completely gone.

Pirates of the Caribbean Minnie Plush and Other Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Merch is Sold Out

Yesterday, they had a few February’s Pirates of the Caribbean Minnie Plush and March’s Mad Tea Party stuff left, but it has already vanished!

Read about this SOLD OUT collection here.

There was plenty of other great merch in stock, though! In fact, the salesfloor and shelves at World of Disney today looked just as full to us as they did before the closure. And even though we knew some of it had been around since before the parks closed, there were plenty of new items we haven’t seen in real life yet as well!

World of Disney

Since we were trying to be mindful of not handling the merchandise too much, we didn’t catch prices on all of these items, but a lot of what we saw today has also recently appeared on shopDisney, so we’ll link ’em for you when applicable!

Ink & Paint Collection

We spotted some Ink & Paint merchandise was still in stock along with the adorable Sorcerer Mickey Loungefly which magically had appeared at the parks last February.

Ink & Paint Collection

It was a much smaller display than we had seen previously, and sadly no Ink & Paint Coffee Mugs are available at this time!

Check out some of the items in the Ink & Paint collection here!

Neon Collection

Previously we’d never seen this collection before, except on our computer screens! We can assure you, these colors really pop in person!

Brace Yourselves, Round 3 of the Build-A-Bear Baby Yoda Plush Is Coming!

Baby Yoda has been a rather hot commodity when it comes to merchandise (and we’re not complaining)! We’ve seen Baby Yoda necklaces, tees, plush, hats, and SO SO much more.

©CNET

One of the hottest bits of Baby Yoda merchandise that hit the scene was the “The Child” plush by Build-A-Bear. He was released back in April and quickly sold out. He was then re-released at the beginning of May and saw LONG virtual wait times. Now, Build-A-Bear’s “The Child” plush is being released…AGAIN. 

“The Child” plush will be released once more TOMORROW.  The pre-waiting room is set to open at 11:30 AM CST and sales will officially start at 12PM CST. This is the ONLY way to secure your Baby Yoda Build-A-Bear.

©Build-A-Bear

And due to limited quantities, there will be a select number for sale and as we have seen in the past, they tend to go pretty fast.

Previously, there was a purchase limit of 1, and this particular Build-A-Bear item can’t be purchased “unstuffed.” The product is available exclusively as a bundle with the sound chips (which you can read more about here) for $59.75. We will let you know if the purchase limit or price changes tomorrow.
