The Mandalorian & Grogu: What We Know and the Best Figures to Collect

After three seasons of television that redefined what Star Wars could be on screen, The Mandalorian and Grogu are making the leap to the big screen. The upcoming film is one of the most anticipated Star Wars events in years — and for collectors, it represents an unmissable moment to secure the definitive figures before the release hype sends prices soaring.

What We Know About the Film

The Mandalorian & Grogu brings back Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin and reunites him with the Child — now confirmed to be in Jedi training under Luke Skywalker's care. Director Jon Favreau returns to helm the feature, with Dave Filoni's deep understanding of the expanded Star Wars universe shaping the story. The film is expected to bridge the television era with the broader cinematic Star Wars timeline.

Key confirmed elements: the Covert Mandalorian culture will play a central role, the darksaber arc continues from Season 3, and the father-son dynamic between Mando and Grogu remains the emotional core of the story. Expect the same blend of Western-influenced space opera that made the series so beloved.

The Best Mandalorian Figures to Collect Now

• Hot Toys 1/6 Din Djarin: the definitive collector figure — beskar armour with exceptional metallic paint, fully articulated, multiple accessories including the Razor Crest and Grogu in his floating pram. A complete display in itself
• S.H. Figuarts The Mandalorian (Bandai): superb detail at 1/12 scale, more affordable than Hot Toys. Multiple swap hands, weapons, and the signature stance. Excellent for display dioramas
• Hasbro Black Series Din Djarin: the entry-level premium option — 6-inch, high detail, widely available. Good for a starting collection or alongside other Black Series figures
• Hot Toys Grogu: sold separately from the main Din Djarin figure, the Child figure is among Hot Toys' most charming releases. Floating pram accessory, hand-painted face with enormous expressive eyes

Why Collect Before the Film Releases

Experience with previous Star Wars theatrical releases shows a clear pattern: figure demand spikes dramatically around release windows, limited editions sell out quickly, and aftermarket prices for in-demand pieces can double or triple within months of a film's debut. The current pre-release window is the optimal buying moment for serious collectors — stock is available, prices are at standard retail, and the upcoming film will only reinforce the cultural permanence of these characters.

Grogu: The Most Collectable Star Wars Character of the Decade

Grogu (universally known as Baby Yoda before the official naming) became an instant cultural phenomenon and remains one of the most sought-after Star Wars figures across all scales and manufacturers. Key considerations for collectors:

• Early-release first-edition Grogu figures already command significant premiums on the secondary market — even from mainstream manufacturers like Funko and Hasbro
• Limited edition and exclusive variants (Comic-Con exclusives, premium statue editions) have appreciated most dramatically
• Artist proof and hand-painted resin statues from third-party sculptors represent the highest tier of Grogu collecting — pieces where no two are identical
