Officially named, The Child With Pendant, this collectible features the beloved character, better known as “Baby Yoda,” from Disney+’s The Mandalorian, modelling a necklace bearing the skull of the legendary Mythosaur. The adorable 3.25-inch figure figure will be available from Funko and Amazon in October while supplies last.
