The Mandalorian took the world by storm when it arrived on Disney+ last November, but Lucasfilm’s decision to keep the series shrouded in as much secrecy as possible meant that there wasn’t exactly a lot of merchandise on store shelves by the time Christmas rolled around. 

Now, that’s all set to change thanks to a huge new wave of toys and games. 

As you may have guessed from the title, The Child/Baby Yoda is the main focus of this gallery because Disney has clearly realised that the beloved creation is going to fly off shelves. 

There are a few items you can find (phone cases and t-shirts, mostly) at the moment, but you’d best get saving if you’re hoping to get your hands on everything from LEGO sets to backpacks!

To take a look through this gallery, all you guys need to do is click on the “Next” button down below. 

This is a LEGO set that’s long overdue, and that Baby Yoda minifigure is without a doubt the cutest thing you’ll see today.

Well, until you click through to the next page in this post…
 

This interactive figure is extremely cute, and something you just know that kids will love. 

It’s also going to be considerably cheaper than the Hot Toys version which is set to retail for hundreds of dollars (it is, however, completely accurate to what’s in the series).
 

This adorable little fella will be available from Build-A-Bear, and it’s another item that fans will surely rush to buy the second it goes on sale. 

Plus, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want their own cuddly version of The Child?
 

The Funko Pop that’s being released featuring The Child’s likeness is already the most pre-ordered Pop in the company’s history, and these t-shirts also put the spotlight on the beloved Baby.

The question is, which of them would you choose? “Both” sounds like a pretty good option…
 

More LEGO. These might not be overly realistic, but they’re an effective addition to the company’s “BrickHeadz” line.

Baby Yoda being in his crib is a lovely touch, and the fact it’s floating is definitely a bonus. The Mandalorian himself looks surprising badass here, as well. 
 

The Darksaber made it’s surprise return in the season finale of The Mandalorian. 

We don’t know how it ended up in the hands of Moff Gideon, but he’s clearly a force to be reckoned with, and there has to be a reason he wants to get his hands on The Child. 
 

This is kind of pointless, but an undeniable must-have. 

As tie-ins go, you have to give Disney credit for coming up with this one, but you just know that there will be a lot of kids who will be pestering their parents for this one!
 

My wife is obsessed with these Loungefly bags, but this one is bound to be in demand from everyone. Making it look like you’re actually carrying The Child on your back, this will definitely grab people’s attention. 

These aren’t cheap, but something this cute is arguably worth every penny. 
 

Every kid is gonna want this when Halloween rolls around! 

It’s not the best costume we’ve seen, but it’s very cute and is a lot easier than painting your child’s face and sticking some massive ears to the sides of their head. 
 

What do you guys think about this concept art based on The Child from The Mandalorian? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section below. 

Last week, a video from the set of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad gave us a blurry glimpse of several Task Force X members rushing past a group of civilians to face-off against an unknown foe, and now thanks to Just Jared we have a much better look at the individuals involved in that scene.

Do you think the GOTG director will manage to improve in the the highly divisive (well, panned would be more accurate) first film? You can find out where that placed on our ranking of the previous DC Films Universe installments below.

Simply click on the next button below!

Aquaman

You probably weren’t expecting to see this at the bottom of the list! I’m completely aware that I’m in the minority here, but James Wan’s hokey farce of an Aquaman movie did nothing for me at all.

Arthur Curry’s first solo film almost falls over itself in an attempt to change the perception that the DCEU was too “dark and depressing.” Wan’s movie is bright, colorful (garish, really), and tries to inject a sense of fun and old-fashioned adventure into pretty much every scene. Unfortunately, it forgets to include little things like compelling characters and an engaging story along the way.

The script is perfunctory, the performances range from passable to outright egregious (seriously, where did they find the kid that played teenage Arthur?), and almost every line of dialogue is either exposition, an eye-rolling cliche or some brotastic, juvenile one-liner.

I did laugh several times during this movie, but it definitely wasn’t at any of the “jokes.”

On the plus side, Aquaman does feature some stunning visuals and brilliantly creative creature designs, all of which come together for a pretty damn bonkers finale – though by that stage I was on my second watch check.

Suicide Squad

I actually enjoyed David Ayer’s Suicide Squad to an extent, but considering the movie we got was nowhere near as good as its awesome trailers promised, it has to be considered a major disappointment.

The film begins well enough, but as it goes on it just gets messier and messier until it pretty much loses all sense of cohesiveness. Add baffling character choices, bizarre need drops, and a pair of laughable villains to the mix and it’s not hard to see why so many fans and critics dismissed it entirely.

And yet, Suicide Squad does have its moments. Some individual scenes work very well (Batman’s face-off with Deadshot, for example) and the cast is mostly on form, with Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Viola Davis, in particular, putting in great performances.

Not a complete washout, but man this should have been so much more.

Justice League

Like a lot of its fellow DCEU entries, I believe Justice League gets a bit of a bad rap and is a far more entertaining movie than many give it credit for. That said, there’s no denying that the first big-screen team-up of DC’s best and brightest should have been a lot better.

What went wrong? It’s probably quicker to list off what didn’t, but it’s clear that Zack Snyder being replaced by Joss Whedon had a major impact on the finished product. Would it have been a better movie if one or the other had been able to direct the whole thing? We’ll probably never know (the “Snyder Cut” is possible, but unlikely), but it certainly would have been a more tonally consistent one.

As it stands, Justice League is loud, brash, campy, exciting, funny, and… kind of a mess. Most of the characters are well served, though, and there is fun to be had – it’s just a shame this wasn’t the cinematic event DC fans were hoping for.

Shazam!

Shazam! was envisioned as a more family-friendly DC movie with the focus placed on heart over grit, and in that respect, David F. Sandberg delivered. It’s endearing, funny and engaging (at least until it overstays its welcome), but it’s also overlong, a little too twee, and ultimately just not particularly memorable.

That said, it’s never less than entertaining thanks to a terrific cast, a genuinely warm and funny script (take note, Aquaman) and some exciting, if slightly iffy CGI-heavy, action sequences.

At the end of the day, Kids seemed to love Shazam!, and that’s really all that matters.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

It really wouldn’t be accurate to call the reviews for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice mixed, because the majority of critics hated the movie with a passion.

To be fair, Zack Snyder’s follow up to Man of Steel does have a lot of problems. It’s messy, disjointed, over-long by a good 20 minutes or so, and – most crucially for purists – offers radically different takes on the iconic DC heroes of its title. But despite all of this, I believe BVS is quite a bit better than its reputation would suggest.

I’m not one of these Snyder die-hards that thinks it’s some kind of misunderstood masterpiece, but I do believe many critics – and fans – chose to focus on what the movie did wrong while completely disregarding everything it did right.

The first big-screen meeting of DC’s Trinity was definitely not the cinematic event it could (or should) have been, and that “Martha” scene is probably destined to be ridiculed and misunderstood in equal measure for many years to come, but give it another watch some cold, rainy night and you might be surprised by how well it holds up.

Wonder Woman

For many, Wonder Woman will take the top spot here, and that’s completely understandable. Not only was it the first solo big screen outing for one of the most popular superheroes in history, but it was also the first female-led comic book movie from any major studio since Elektra back in 2005. Oh yes, there was also the small matter of a lot of people pinning their hopes on Patty Jenkins’ film to be the one that “saved” The DCEU.

While I wasn’t necessarily of the opinion that The DCEU needed saving, there’s no denying that Jenkins knocked it out of the park.

If you were of the belief that WB desperately needed to inject a bit more heart into The DCEU, then Wonder Woman must have been a breath of fresh air. It’s funny, engaging and action-packed, with a strong emotional core and a star-making turn from Gal Gadot. It does have some problems (the third act flounders a little and lays on the cheese), but overall, Jenkins’ old-school adventure served as a terrific setup for Diana’s cinematic future.

Birds of Prey

Birds of Prey better than Wonder Woman? There wasn’t much in it, but Cathy Yan’s bonkers girl-gang flick is simply more my cup of tea. The movie is currently struggling at the box office despite highly positive reviews, and that’s a real shame because BOP is an absolute blast.

If you’ve seen the trailers, you’ll have a pretty good idea how things play out. The film isn’t really concerned with clever twists or major surprises and the plot is very straightforward, even a little cliched. That’s not to say things ever get boring (one thing this movie definitely is not, is boring) or that there’s no creativity on display, and the cornucopia of colorful characters are more than enough to keep us engaged.

Sure, it’s a little uneven and maybe not quite as subversive as it’d like to be, but, for my money, The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is still the most purely entertaining movie on this list.

Man of Steel

Just like many will scoff at Aquaman placing so low, Man of Steel coming in second (first if you don’t count Joker as a DCEU film) is bound to be a controversial choice. But, I honestly believe Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot remains one of the most underrated and underappreciated comic book movies of all time.

Highly divisive upon its release and panned by many critics, Snyder’s take on the iconic DC hero was widely criticized for being too “grimdark,” but look beyond the visual aesthetics and more somber tone (when compared to the Richard Donner movies, at least) and the brighter themes most closely associated with the character do shine through.

The movie also features some incredible action sequences, a career-best performance from Henry Cavill in the lead, and a stunning score from Hans Zimmer.

There are some problems, but, for the most part, Snyder succeeded in rebooting Superman for the modern era, and laid the groundwork for Warner Bros.’ shared DC movie universe. Granted, things didn’t quite work out moving forward – but Man of Steel was a stellar start.

Joker

Joker isn’t technically considered part of the DC Films Universe because of its standalone nature, but until Warner Bros. officially confirms that it won’t tie into its wider universe in any way, it earns a spot in this list. If you disagree that’s no prolem… simply count Man of Steel as #1!

All of the hullabaloo surrounding Joker in the buildup to its release proved to be totally unfounded, but the movie still remains a controversial and highly divisive film. While I certainly understand some of the criticism that has been leveled at it, I believe Todd Philips’ Joker is a stunning achievement overall and the best DC Comics adaptation WB has produced in the modern era. 

It is not an easy watch, there’s no doubt about that. If you’re looking for some comic book movie escapism this is not the movie for you. It’s violent, disturbing, and pretty much unrelentingly bleak. But it’s also a stunningly shot, haunting character piece with a mesmerizing score from Hildur Gudnadottir and a truly outstanding central performance.

It definitely won’t be for everyone and one could argue that Phillips does revel in nihilism to some extent, but at the end of the day this is an R-rated origin story for one of the most deranged, murderous villains in fiction, and the film reflects that. It may not make you feel good, but it will make you feel something, and sometimes that’s enough.

After a very public falling out, Sony Pictures and Disney finally made things right last year, and a deal is now in place to keep Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for at least one more solo movie and an appearance in a currently undisclosed Marvel Studios movie.

During a recent roundtable discussion, both Sony boss Tom Rothman and Disney’s Alan Horn were on hand to touch on what happened when it looked like Spidey was leaving the MCU. 

Take a look at some concept art featuring a deleted scene from
The Amazing Spider-Man by hitting the “Next” button below!

The Lizard chases Spider-Man through the streets of New York, making their existence very public in the process. 
 

This is a very cool take on the web-slinger’s costume and likely came before that controversial final design was settled on. 
 

An injured Spidey races after his prey, hopping over some iconic taxis in the process as he attempts to put Curt Connors down. 
 

With two superpowered beings battling on top of that iconic New York Sightseeing bus, you’d best believe accidents happen!
 

With the driver seemingly losing control of the vehicle, the fight between Spidey and his nemesis continues above. 
 

The police watch on as this happens but they’re pretty much powerless to stop the brutal battle that’s taking place here. 
 

As The Lizard gains the upper hand and holds on for dear life, he’s also forced to dodge bullets from Captain Stacy’s men. 
 

That driver has to be knocked out or something because he surely could have just stopped the vehicle and jumped out! 
 

An updated take on the wall-crawler’s classic costume definitely would have gone down better than that weird redesign. 
 

We told you that the bus would ultimately crash into an iconic location, right? This would have been amazing to see! 
 

As we mentioned at the top of this post, this would have been an expensive sequence to film as is evident from this shot. 
 

Technology in 2012 was good enough to bring most of it to life with VFX, though, and it would have made for exciting viewing. 
 

Spidey clearly would have thought The Lizard was done only for him to then burst out of the ice to attack the web-spinner. 
 

This artwork is actually from the movie’s final battle, as an unmasked Spider-Man battles The Lizard with George Stacy watching on.
 

With Curt Connors determined to transform New York’s citizens into monsters like him, Spidey leaps back into action. 
 

Here, we see the police undergo their own transformations, and this should have been much cooler than it ultimately was. 
 

The final battle certainly had its moments, but nothing that quite lived up to how impressive it looks in this piece of artwork. 
 

It was forced, but those cranes turning so that Spider-Man could swing through the streets of New York to reach The Lizard was cool!
 

It looks like new York was originally going to find itself facing a pandemic thanks to The Lizard leaking that gas everywhere.
