Baby Yoda “The Child” Merchandise* Has Arrived

[Deleted member 3812]

This has got to be up there with laziest designed cash grab merch ever.

 

[Wag]

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.

Why is green Gizmo in a satchel?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

That's some bummy rushed merch.

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

this is not the merch I'm looking for

 

[Classicrock78]

I want a plushie.

 

[Sephiroth]

WHERE'S THE PLUSHIE! I need to cuddle him

 

[Halbrand]

That better not be it before Christmas

 

[bryehn]

Oh...

 

[asmith906]

All of these look like shit

 

[davepoobond]

Lmao at this shit. That phone case is pathetic

 

[ForgeForsaken]

Somehow they had no shit ready and this is what they could throw together.

 

[Wolfe]

The more I look at it the sadder this is lol, like others I honestly thought I was looking at low effort bootleg merch when I first opened the thread.

 

[Extra Sauce]

looks like the amount of love that went into the merch production is inversely proportional to the amount of love that went into the designing character.

 

[Fuzzy]

They didnt know what they had.

All this shit was literally put together in a few days.

A few days. 😆 This shit took 5 minutes, tops.

 

[Professor Fate]

How the fuck did they not have plushies ready to go for this?

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

Oh god it's terrible

 

[Officer Big Mac]

People will buy anything. Appeal to their base psychology and it's a sure thing.

 

[Deleted member 31817]

That's the most half assed oh shit we fucked up line of cash in merch I've ever seen. Looks like some shit you could get at a one hour t-shirt store.

Yeah lol

[RedHeat]

Believe it or not: spoilers. Can't manufacture it without leaks.

 

[Friskykillface]

Baby groot was pretty popular
Everyone loves babies
Disney has hired people that look at trends/what sells

Easily could've had mock ups and stuff ready, even if baby Yoda didn't take off they could still sell it to kids and Star Wars fans

 

[Nelo Ice]

All I want is a plush. I have spoken.

 

[Apathy]

They really phoned that in

 

[nihilence]

That is some Kanye levels of terrible merch.

 

[Daniel Jackson]

Cheaply produced overpriced merchandise just sells. That is the way.

 

[MoFo2]

Yes, those are totally 100% official merchandise absolutely no doubt about it yessiree

I'm amazed Frozen 2 doesn't have Baby Olaf.

They could just sell a plushie white sphere "snowball" and boom, there ya go.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Disney, a billion dollar entity, put this out and thought it was acceptable.

Let that sink in folks.

 

[Anth0ny]

Okay this is just bizarre. There's no way they didn't anticipate baby yoda being huge this holiday. Not even a funko pop? the bootleggers got plushes out in 24 hours, Disney can't by Black Friday?

time to bring this back:

 

[Dennis8K]

Who could have foreseen the popularity of a baby alien with googly eyes and big ears?

 

[Necromanti]

I refuse to believe this was actually designed by a person and not just automatically generated.

 

[Big One]

I'm guessing the reason behind this so images of Baby Yoda wouldn't have leaked.

 

[verygooster]

Is this fan made or official merch?

Well it's on disney's official store..... so yes?

 

[Starmud]

I've always been a pretty big disney junkie. for a brand I used to respect and never blinked an eye about dropping mad money on, to the soulless cash cow i see now that I helped create, is an evolution I didn't expect.

as for the merchandise, it's not even universal studios gift shop quality... it's YouTuber buy my merch level t r a s h /salt

 

[Lifejumper]

MERCH UPDATE!!!!

Now fans are beating down the door for Baby Yoda toys and merch, and irate to find there's not very much. At least right now. Favreau said he wanted to hold off on the deluge of consumer products, lest the existence of the Child leak early.

Sources close to the merchandising unit of Walt Disney tell Vanity Fair that plans are underway to bring more Baby Yoda products to stores in the weeks ahead, but for now the main item available is this T-shirt featuring concept art of the lovable creature.

Man Favreau cashing in that goodwill.

 

[Kewlmyc]

Some intern did this in one hour.

 

[Crimsonskies]

 

[Strike]

I was expecting them to put a little more effort into this.

 

[DBT85]

It really is beginning to feel that they didn't prepare for this at all.

I honestly looked at that stuff in the op and thought "well someone's getting sued in the morning".

 

[Scrooge]

The merch in the OP look like absolute shit. While it would be unreasonable to expect toys or figures to magically materialize when they hadn't been planned, they certainly could have had someone come up with something interesting to slap on a t-shirt, cups, etc. in the two weeks since the launch. This is just creatively bankrupt and cheap.

You expect artistic integrity for merchandise? lmao

 

[V_Arnold]

I'm going to be honest with ya'll: the last thread when people were demanding merchandise for a new character in a Disney show was a kind of a culture shock to me. I mean.... the world is on the verge of doom, and people demand more plastic. Fuck.

 

[The Omega Man]

Dman, Disney really underestimated the Baby Yoda madness, imagine plushies, a black series and a Figuarts figure ready for release this holiday, the bank they would have made would have been of nuclear proportions.

 

[Ferrio]

Wow they had no faith in this series at all did they? How did no one see that puppet and have dollar signs in their eyes?

So basically Disney/Favreau wanted to keep Baby Yoda a secret and not spoil it with merch so it is coming in 2020. Then Disney saw they dropped the ball not capitalizing on this and opened a CafeExpress shop.
