The Long Beach Comic Expo hosted a wide variety of artists and exhibitors selling Baby Yoda and Mando merchandise over the weekend.
Leave it to the indie creators to succeed in making the cutest, most marketable (and memeable) character to come out of Disney’s “The Mandalorian” series this past fall.
In fact, it’s even been reported that some of them have done a better job of depicting The Child character (dubbed Baby Yoda by Star Wars fans) than the official licensers.
Plus, these art prints, T-shirts, stickers and even cosplay costumes aren’t nearly as expensive (not even close) to the actual puppet, which is said to be worth $5 million.
While you wait for the second season to come out, here’s a round up of the coolest and cutest Baby Yodas (and Mandos) on the expo floor:
