.The Force is strong with this one ... and we're just getting our first look at his merchandise.
Topps' Chapter 3 Topps Now Packs for The Mandalorian arrived on Monday via Topps.com with three of the five cards for this episode showing the viral sensation of the Disney+ series so far.
It's Baby Yoda.
Available for just seven days and printed to order, these chapter packs are being made for each episode by Topps via its real-time card platform. So if just 300 sets of this one are ordered, then only 300 sets are made. These five-card packs are $19.99 apiece but with serious discounts available for volume buyers -- 10 packs for $99.99 and 20 packs for $159.99 are available, for example, with smaller lots also available.
Baby Yoda is not (likely) the legendary Jedi master based on story lines for this series, but that's not stopping the merchandising -- according to several media accounts, Amazon, Target, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Hot Topic and Box Lunch will soon all have merchandise showing the character that actually doesn't even yet have a formal name. There's already bootleg merchandise out there, too.
These are the first official trading cards for this new and clearly popular character -- there should be strong demand among non-traditional card collectors and many may not know about these cards until they arrive on the secondary market.
