On the popular war of stars The Baby Yoda series – which prefers to be referred to by its real name, Grogu – is perhaps the most adorable thing most of us have ever seen.

“SMH will never order again as a matter of desire,” says the headline of the original post, which generated over 100,000 likes and over 10,000 retweets in less than 48 hours. While the color seems right, everything else about the bootleg plush toy looks a lot more like Dobby the Harry Potter Eleven. A tweet points this out by showing comparative photos of Dobby and Grogu side by side, which make it clear that the doll is much more reminiscent of the former.

Bootleg Baby Yoda dolls and other forms of collectibles based on The MandalorianBreakout Star’s are nothing new. When the series first debuted on Disney + last year, the introduction of Grogu came as a complete surprise as creator Jon Favreau insisted Disney hold back from creating merchandise so as not to spoil the moment. This meant that official Baby Yoda merchandise wasn’t released until after the Christmas season last year, resulting in an influx of hot-selling bootleg merch items that dominated the 2019 holidays.
The good news is that there are plenty of officially licensed Baby Yoda merchandise out there war of stars Find fans these days. Given what we’ve seen here today, it’s probably best to stick with established retailers and avoid getting your grogu plush from Wish. There is also a lot more of the character to look forward to in the future. Both seasons of The Mandalorian are currently fully streamed on Disney +, with a third season in the works. The picture of the strange baby Yoda plush from Wish was posted by Fausto on Twitter.
