$90 pre-orders are live on Amazon for WOW! Stuff's 17.3-inch Yoda Puppetronic, with the Star Wars animatronic set to ship on October 5, 2026.
More than 120 sounds and movements drive the figure's blinking eyes, shifting ears, moving mouth and left-arm 'Force' gesture through a joystick-style controller hidden under Yoda's robes.
The puppet cycles through classic lines such as 'Do or do not, there is no try' alongside newer quips, aiming to recreate Yoda's expressions and mannerisms with a realistic rubber-like finish.
The release marks WOW! Stuff's first Star Wars Puppetronic after its viral Toothless and Stitch animatronics, arriving as Yoda regains attention alongside the franchise's newer Grogu-led wave.
With adults driving toy sales, is this high-tech Yoda puppet really for kids or for their nostalgic parents?
Can 120 pre-programmed movements truly capture Yoda's soul, or is this just a high-tech puppet for collectors?
As a new Yoda puppet challenges Grogu's reign, can nostalgia alone win this year's holiday toy war?
