Those damp for a Baby Yoda toy might have to wait as long as the rest of us will for a new James Bond movie.
The Coronavirus has reportedly delayed production of Hasbro’s ‘The Child’ (aka Baby Yoda) with stock now expected to arrive much later than the Spring.
The company filed a SEC doc last week noting that the disease, which prior to making one sick turns them into a toilet-paper buying mad-man, has set them back.
“The occurrence of these types of events can result, and in the case of the coronavirus has resulted in, disruptions and damage to our business, caused by both the negative impact to our ability to design, develop, manufacture and ship product (the supply side impact) and the negative impact on consumer purchasing behavior (the demand side impact),” the filing said.
The reason Hasbro didn’t have anything ready, in terms of cute petite green things, for the launch of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+ last year is they wanted to keep the character a secret from everyone until the show hit. That’s also why the emerald nugget didn’t appear in posters.
The internet is, understandably, quite furious that they mightn’t be sharing a pillow with Baby Yoda as soon as the Spring.
THE CORONA VIRUS IS GOING TO DISRUPT THE DISTRIBUTION OF BABY YODA TOYS. This has gone too far.
