Babu Frik was the only good thing to come out of the last trilogy I'd be all over him!

Don't know why they made him into a statue. Heck they would have sold more status of Tarkin.

The problem is that they market this as if the Mando show was already a 40 year old cult classic. The milking of baby Yoda by every SW licensee is the most extreme example I've ever seen of nostalgia-based milking. Of course, consumers are the other side of that equation. Nobody waits for the dust to settle anymore. High time preference at an all-time high.

I keep hoping SS or HT will make a 1/1 Babu Frik.
Day one for me!

Zero connection to the character, even if you were obsessed with the show. People have problems if they're buying this statue, has he even had 10 minutes of screen-time yet?

Yeah, it's crazy to me also. The show is OK at best, there just isn't that much to it. If this wasn't using the Star Wars universe then it would have been cancelled already.

Had a show that happened to, called "Firefly".
Still hurts all these years later.

Very strange character choice. I would rather have seen a Jawa statue.
