Following the success of its 11-inch plush version of The Child (aka Baby Yoda) from Star Wars: The Mandalorian — the No. 1 item in plush both for the third quarter and year-to-date according to NPD — Mattel is introducing a new version that’s even more lifelike.

Revealed during the first “Mando Mondays” event, the Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Child Real Moves Plush is an 11-inch plush toy that includes sound and motion features. Aimed at kids and collectors ages 3 and up, The Child moves its head, ears, and arm, and can shuffle around the house while making authentic sounds from the hit Disney+ series. The Child also includes a Mandalorian Mythosaur Skull pendant.

Kids can control The Child using an included remote that also features a “follow me” mode.
