‘Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian’ Takes A Look At The Design Of Baby Yoda

Gambar
Click here to read the full article. Disney+ has a massive hit on its hands with The Mandalorian, and one of the reasons for that is the character known as The Child, aka Baby Yoda, as nearly everyone calls him. The doll-like Baby Yoda is a member of the same alien species as Yoda from the Star Wars franchise, and he's on the run in the series. He's also going to be a major driver of merchandise for Disney, which has a plush toy available and an animatronic version coming soon. More from Deadline But way before any of that came to be, there were several designs of Baby Yoda bandied about. The various designs that were under consideration were revealed as part of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, a documentary series on Disney+ that takes a behind the scenes look at what went into the making of the hit series, including the creation of Baby Yoda. Series creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni, along with concept artist Christian Alzmann, worked hard to get somethin...

Baby Yoda is Now a Christmas Nutcracker

Gambar
Disney got off to a late start with their Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Child (aka Baby Yoda) merchandising machine, but they have certainly made up for lost time. We're now deep in that phase beyond the plush toys, t-shirts, and action figures where things get weird. The Baby Yoda Chia Pet was one example. The Baby Yoda Christmas nutcracker is another. It's one of the very first Baby Yoda Christmas decorations that you can order for the 2020 holiday season. The Baby Yoda nutcracker pictured here is a render from the manufacturer, but we do know that the final product will stand at 9.5-inches tall and feature a red base decorated with snowflakes and a gold-colored nameplate. It's part of the Kurt S. Adler Star Wars holiday lineup for 2020, which also includes Baby Yoda stockings, a Darth Vader tree skirt, a Sith Trooper nutcracker and more. Pre-orders for the Baby Yoda nutcracker are live here at Entertainment Earth for $49.99 with shipping slated for September. Baby Yoda ...

I Have Secured the Baby Yoda Build-A-Bear

Gambar
Many of us are still obsessed with baby Yoda—or, I suppose, "The Child" if you want to call him by his Christian name. The Mandalorian gave him to us in a nice little coat and a whole lot of Force powers, and thus our love for the tiny, adorable, ferocious being took root. But then Build-A-Bear had the audacity to make a plush toy of my green baby son and make it almost impossible to get. This is a toy that is—somewhat surprisingly—now a hot topic for a segment of adults on Twitter. We're all trying to frantically buy a Build-A-Bear as though this is the summer of 1998. The sad part is, we're trying to order a pre-made version of the Child, not even one that can be crafted in stores, which is kind of the whole Build-A-Bear point, but I digress. Ardent fans of The Mandalorian still want to buy a stuffed version of baby Yoda, and it's been incredibly difficult to get one from the store since March. Trust me, I tried. I've had Build-A-Bear emails bein...

Priest Performing Baptism on Baby With a Toy Gun is Straight Out of a Scorsese Movie

The world is in a very unique, unfortunate situation. A coronavirus pandemic has pushed humans indoors. Video conferencing is the new hangout place for friends and family. Couples are getting married online. Social distancing is the new norm. Modern problems require modern solutions they say and priests all over the world are following just that, by showering their blessings but from a safe distance. Following the advice of medical experts to maintain social distancing to break the chain of COVID-19 disease, priests have, on several occasions, been photographed with toy guns squirting holy water on the disciples. Last week, a family held a baptism ceremony for their baby with the paster baptising the baby with a water gun. The photo soon went viral on the Internet, leaving many amused. Now, a photo of a priest has gone viral on Twitter, showing a similar scenario. Only this time, the photo seems to have been snapped at a church. While the whereabouts of family or pastor are unknown, th...

The plan calls for: 60-100 single-family homes, 130-140 garden style multi-family units, 150-200 senior living units. The factory site is now a brownfield and would require mediation, according to the proposal.

Have a Whiny Baby? Why Babies Whine and What You Can Do About It

Gambar
The whines of a baby or toddler can sound like nails on a chalkboard to parents. They can be incessant and sometimes infuriating, but it's important to realize that these high-pitched, singsong protests actually serve a purpose as a mode of communication. Understanding the causes of whining can help to mitigate the frustration you and your baby feel. So next time your little one starts to whimper or wail, take a moment to evaluate the situation. You may be able to stop the whining, solve the problem, and save your sanity. Here's what you need to know.Whining can be considered the transition between crying and verbal complaining. This shift often happens as a baby moves from infancy to toddlerhood. Whining is a baby's means of communication, and their way of expressing frustration over what they perceive as an undesirable outcome or an unpleasant situation. And while it may be grating on a parent's ears, it's an important step as a child learns to articulate specific...

Nuremberg Toy Museum explores change through our playthings

Gambar
Playtime for the average middle-class kid once meant preparation for work as an adult. Dolls made in 19th-century Germany were exquisitely crafted, but they were probably also the inspiration for at least four different Hollywood horror films. By the early 20th century, the dolls displayed at the Nuremberg Toy Museum were ironing clothes and doing baby laundry. I guess the fun never stopped for girls. Then again, I'm looking at it through a modern lens —maybe it made the girls happy to do what Mom did when that's what was expected, while the boys played with vast armies of tin and lead soldiers. The museum's display of toys spanning the centuries says a lot about the times they were made in, from those early figurines and doll houses to the trains, cars, robots and foosball tables produced when a lot of today's adults were kids. To be fair, it wasn't all drudgery in the olden days. Optical toys were the whiz...

Hot Toys' First Clone Wars Figure Is Incredibly Brain-Breaking

But my head would not like to accept it, thank you. Hot Toys teased on Star Wars Day that it would begin adding characters from The Clone Wars animated series to its lineup of extensive, incredibly detailed action figures. The company showed us approximately 90 percent of what was very obviously a rad-looking Captain Rex action figure, recreating a now-iconic shot from the show's final season of Rex standing in front of the 332nd Clone Battalion, a branch of the 501st with their helmets repainted as a gift to Ahsoka Tano, depicting her Togruta face markings. All very sweet until those same Clones had a switch flipped in their brains that made them want to kill her in the name of Darth Sidious.
