Grogu never stops eating, and now there’s a toy to match your appetite

If you watched just one episode of The Mandalorian, you know that: Grogu is always hungry. The little boy, formerly known as Baby Yoda, is constantly eating, either on endangered frog eggs or on newly spawned spider monsters. Sometimes he just needs a good cup of bone broth to recover. And soon there will be an animatronic toy to match your appetite.

Today, Hasbro announced the Galactic Snackin ‘Grogu – that’s the real name of the product – which will launch in October for $ 79.99. You can feed it with a spoon, let it chew some strange blue cookies, or just give it a bowl of live squid. Given your propensity to eat anything, even if it gets you into trouble, the limited options are probably good. Hasbro says that lil ‘Grogu will let you know when he likes something or “what belongs to a garbage compactor”. He also has some powers of strength and can levitate his favorite toy that he stole from the Mandalorian’s ship.

This is actually the second animatronic Grogu, after a past year that could coo and fall asleep. Hasbro’s senior design director, Vickie Stratford, says that when it came to creating a follow-up, “the snack concept opened up a lot of fun ideas for our design and development team to create a whole new interactive experience.”

Hasbro says the toy will be available for pre-order today at “most major retailers”.
