Child Play
While all the new reveals were great, the main event of the entire show was Baby Yoda. The animatronic version of him (available in December) absolutely wowed anyone who came into contact with him. While smaller than I expected (roughly a little more than a foot tall), I nearly lost it when he closed his eyes and raised his hand to use the force.
It was also nice to see a further expansion of my favorite line, Black Series (which will also have a tiny 1.5-inch baby Yoda). Zorii Bliss and the Knights of Ren are high on my wish list. With this also being the 40th anniversary of Empire Strikes Back (the greatest movie ever made), Black Series is releasing a series of iconic characters in their ESB outfits with retro Kenner packaging. These look awesome.
Not to be outdone, Lego had two of the biggest reveals of the entire show: Brickheadz versions of the Mandalorian and the Child as well as an amazing Lego Razor’s Crest... Both will be in my collection. —LV
