Hasbro Opens Preorders for $599 Life-Size ‘Ultimate Grogu’ Animatronic

The high-end preorder anchors a tiered merchandise push timed to the May 22 film release.

Overview

  • Preorders, which opened Thursday at 1 p.m. ET, are live at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and Fan Channel retailers for $599.99 with a limited First Edition shipping late 2026 and the standard run in early 2027.
  • The 1:1-scale figure stands 14.6 inches tall and uses four motors, multiple touch sensors, two microphones, an accelerometer, and 18 motorized joints to deliver 250-plus animations and sounds across three modes.
  • Interactive extras include a “smart” cookie that triggers eating reactions and a grav charge with lights and countdown audio, while power comes from four D‑cell batteries or a plugged-in USB‑C cord.
  • Hasbro developed the collectible with Disney Consumer Products and Lucasfilm using on‑set reference puppets to match screen details like the robe, chainmail, satchel, and beskar chest plate.
  • Disney Store and Walt Disney World have rolled out lower‑priced apparel, plush, toys, and Galaxy’s Edge costume pieces—spotted in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT—with specialty bags from Vera Bradley in Disney Springs, giving fans options to buy now as the film nears theaters on May 22.
