Galactic Snackin’ Grogu is a new toy from Hasbro that references scenes from The Mandalorian that show hungry Baby Yoda will eat just about anything. Just like The Child character in the show, who officially goes by Grogu, the toy comes with a blue macaron, a bowl of tentacle soup and a spoon. The toy has the ability to respond to each item and determine whether or not each snack is to its liking.
With sounds and movements, Galactic Snackin’ Grogu can also recognize its favorite toy and use the Force on it. Grogu has a head that moves, plus animated eyes, ears and arms to indicate when it's time for a hug. At more than nine inches tall, the Star Wars toy is a fun way to bring scenes from the sci-fi series to life.
