Toy of the Year Awards Are Here With The Child Crowned Winner

Covering a variety of categories, the Toy Association ended the award show but crowing Hasbro's Star Wars The Mandalorian The Child Animatronic Edition figure as Toy of the Year! 2020 was a big year for The Mandalorian, so it is not surprising that The Child got his time in the spotlight after his toy debut in early 2020. The figure featured over 25 sounds and motions straight from the Disney+ Star Wars series, from giggles and sound effects to moving ears and eyes.
