TWO Exclusive Baby Yoda Loungefly Styles Are Now Available for Pre-Order Online!

From hats, to costumes, hand sanitizer, shoulder plush, and car magnets, we couldn’t be happier with the WIDE selection of Baby Yoda merchandise that’s been unleashed upon the universe recently.

Baby Yoda Hat

We know you guys went crazy over those new Baby Yoda Loungeflys we showed you a few weeks back on BoxLunch’s website. But, hold onto your fuzzy robes, because two brand new Baby Yoda styles are now available for pre-order today!

Check out this new Star Wars Loungefly featuring The Mandalorian’s The Child with some of his froggy friends (or, err, froggy snacks)! This mini backpack is a BoxLunch-exclusive and is priced at $69.90.

You’ll want to hop on this one right away if you’re a fan of the cartoonier Baby Yoda stuff. But we think the tan faux leather trim gives this back-to-the-parks bag a rather sophisticated look!

And for back to school, check out this amazing Star Wars Baby Yoda plush backpack! This one is also only available for pre-order on BoxLunch, and costs $59.90.

We love how the shoulder straps feature the same fleecy material as Baby Yoda’s turtleneck. Is it wrong we kinda want to take a nap on it? Not that we’d ever fall asleep in class — pay attention in school, kiddos!

If you want to add either (or both!) of the new Baby Yoda Loungefly backpacks to your collection, look for them on BoxLunch’s website right away. Plus, you’ll also have the option to ship them to your home or pick them up in a store near you for free!

Just when we thought we didn’t have any more room in our lives for Baby Yoda stuff, we saw THIS!
