UPDATE: Pre-orders are now live at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore.
Hasbro is at it again, pumping out a new Grogu toy and we can’t get enough! When aliens find our barren uninhabited planet eons from now, they will assume we worshiped Grogu and Jesus, in that order, based on what we’ve produced.
The Galactic Snackin’ Grogu is retailing for $79.99 and is scheduled to release between October and December 2021.
This October Hasbro will release Galactic Snackin’ Grogu, a new take on the adorable young alien from The Mandalorian, featuring cute sounds, animated motions, and interactive accessories. Living up to his name, Galactic Snackin’ Grogu can munch on several included items, including a blue cookie (no doubt Force-nabbed in school on Nevarro), a bowl of soup with a squid-like creature, and can be fed with a spoon; he’ll also react to each, and will let you know what he likes and what belongs in a trash compactor. In addition, he recognizes and responds to his favorite toy, even appearing to use the Force when playing with it. Inspired by the events of The Mandalorian Season 2, Galactic Snackin’ Grogu looks to be a delightful follow-up to last year’s award-winning The Child Animatronic Edition, a landmark release that struck a chord with fans of all ages.

Starwars.com interviewed Vicki Stratford, Hasbro’s Senior Design Director, about the upcoming release:
We saw Grogu eating his way through the galaxy in Season 2 of The Mandalorian on Disney+ and we couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring those memorable moments to life. We looked at a lot of different ways to interact with the character and the concept of snacking opened up many fun ideas for our design and development team to create an all-new interactive experience. We are really excited to see kids enjoy Grogu’s different reactions to his snacks when they place the interactive accessories in his hand. Their hearts will melt when Grogu lifts his arms up to be held. We can’t wait to see that!
