Coronavirus lockdowns prove lucrative for Disney+ and HasbroDisney+, which launched in Europe on the 24th March, is also boosting Hasbro’s licensed toy sales, thanks in particular to the popularity of Baby Yoda (officially called The Child) from the Disney+ original Star Wars show The Mandalorian. As reported in December, demand for Baby Yoda product was already through the roof, but the increase in at-home streaming as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has boosted interest even further.Although Hasbro’s Baby Yoda products won’t come out until spring (Disney didn’t want the toys anywhere online before “The Mandalorian” had premiered, so as not to ruin the surprise of the character), they have been available for pre-order for months. One extremely popular animatronic Baby Yoda toy won’t be available until the 2020 holiday season, but sold out in pre-order on the Disney website after a single preview in February on Good Morning America.
