I assume plushes and other stuff actually take time compared to just printing the image on a shirt or mug but come on, it's Christmas and we all have moms.
And as been said already, the image on these products is lazy and should've been better. Not having time to manufacture stuff like plush toys doesn't excuse what's in the OP.

Disney has some of the best artists on the planet - they easily could have had an entire line of art to slap on shirts and mugs in a single day that would be lightyears better than this. There is no excuse for this crap.

It's like when Star Wars came out and they were unprepared with the merchandise to appease fans. So they put out stuff as fast as they can no matter how shitty it was. Like the holiday special.

It's like poetry.

It's kind of fascinating how Disney appears to have been caught completely unprepared for this. They are usually so proactive with merchandise opportunities that it's basically their reputation. No Baby Yoda plush in time for Christmas is just millions left on the table.

That is some cheap-ass merch.

Quality-wise, not price-wise. Of course Disney's overcharging for this shit.

Pretty pathetic merchandise lol, especially since Disney is swimming in money x can hire designers instantly.

plush should be released a week before Christmas to cause mass hysteria

When the preservation of spoilers fucks over your merchandising plan. Lol. Nutty. Spoilerphobes should absolutely love this move.

Was Disney unaware of how popular babby yoda was going to be?

All of that is wack. They really got caught flat footed by this? It's one of the cutest creatures I've ever seen. FFS, Disney.

Really, what's their motivation to make quality merch when this junk will sell out?

Someone on Etsy (in Russia) is selling these handmade dolls already. Disney just needs to buy this and mass produce it right now and be done with it.

Planning merchandise - designing, supply chain, and all of that takes a LONG time.

This stuff is stop gap, print on demand, so they don't have to worry about inventory and a lot of shit that won't sell.

Favreau said they didn't do merch because it would have leaked and spoiled things... might be true... but I look forward to one year from now when they have real baby yoda merch all over the place and no one wants to buy it...

Again, with Disney's art team, that could have cranked out an entire line of art to print on merch in a day. There is no excuse for this.
