Forget plush toys. Mattel is giving you the opportunity to bring home an extremely rate levitating Baby Yoda figure.
This Baby Yoda figure comes in a hover pram that actually spins and levitates.

Baby Yoda, A.K.A. “the Child” almost immediately became the star of Disney’s The Mandalorian show. And while you can find many toys and other figurines representing it, this levitating Baby Yoda figure is something else. It really spins and levitates 2.5 inches off its base.
And if that was not enough to make it very special, the collectible will actually never make it to retail. Instead, the unique figure is up for grabs on eBay. You will have until Friday, March 5 at 9:00 a.m. PT to place your bid. But fair warning, the biddings are already above $9,000 at the time of writing.
Mattel will be giving all proceeds from the auction to ProjectArt, an organization that works in partnership with public libraries to empower young artists all across the country.
“The fan-favorite character ‘the Child,’ introduced in The Mandalorian, served as the perfect inspiration for Mattel Creations to design this ultimate levitating pram for a whole new generation of fans,” said Richard Dickson, President, and COO of Mattel. “Mattel Creations is also dedicated to giving back to the next generation of creators, which is why ProjectArt is the perfect partner to support through this collaboration, not only by donating an item for their auction but also by funding ProjectArt’s Los Angeles chapter for 2021 and connecting Mattel designers with students to cultivate creativity.”
Mattel is also releasing a similar collector’s edition of “the Child” in a (floating) pram which will be available only on Mattel Creations beginning March 5.
