“Star Wars” fans will not have to wait any longer to get their hands on some Baby Yoda merchandise as Hasbro (HAS) has released a collection of figures based on the beloved character from the movie, “The Mandalorian.”

The Baby Yoda, also known as “The Child,” figures are available for preorder on Thursday with arrival slated for Spring 2020.

Four Baby Yoda figures are offered in the collection, including the Black Series set from Hasbro, which includes a 1.12-inch figure of Baby Yoda with articulation that comes complete with broth cup, ball toy, and Sorgan frog, CNBC reported.

Additionally, there reportedly is a set of 2.2-inch collectible figures that showcase Baby Yoda in a series of poses - sleeping, playing, and eating as well as a 6.5-inch figure and a plush Baby Yoda that makes cooing sounds offered.

“We’ve been so enamored with the conversation and fan reaction surrounding ‘The Mandalorian’s’ The Child and we know Star Wars fans around the world will be thrilled to see this beloved character incorporated into the Hasbro Star Wars collection of products,” Samantha Lomow, president of Hasbro’s Entertainment Brands, told the news outlet in a statement.

Baby Yoda has captured the hearts of “Star Wars” fans since the launch of the “The Mandalorian” on Disney+ (DIS) last month.

Shares of Hasbro stock were up 2.46% as of 3:52 p.m. EST on Thursday while shares of Disney stock were up 0.14% at the same time.
