The Child, aka Baby Yoda, is already the top pre-order Funko Pop of all time, according to Funko art director Reis O’Brien, who revealed the record-setting statistic on Thursday in a Twitter video in which he discussed the development of the toy. The video has since been deleted from Funko’s account, but The Hollywood Reporter recounts what O’Brien said on the figure.
“It’s bananas,” O’Brien said of the Baby Yoda figure’s popularity. He added that the company was sent design specs for the character on a need-to-know basis, and that they weren’t privy to early episodes of the series, which returns for its second season on Disney+ this fall.
“They’ve got to guard spoilers. They’ve got to keep secrets,” O’Brien said. “As far as story points go, we get nothing.”
If you’re satisfied with owning a non-Funko Pop version of Baby Yoda, Hasbro’s The Child plush is also still available at Walmart as well for $24.99 USD. Sideshow Collectibles, which offers a life-sized, highly detailed figure of Baby Yoda, also has the most detailed version of the green little creature for $350 USD.
