Hasbro readies Ultimate Grogu premium animatronic

Hasbro, in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products, has debuted its Ultimate Grogu animatronic.

The 1:1 scale premium animatronic Grogu is crafted for ‘collectors, fans, and cosplayers’ and features built-in motors, sensors, and microphones to deliver over 250 animations and sounds.

The animatronic boasts three different modes of play and screen-accurate details like the soft fabric robe, chainmail, cross strap and beskar rondel armour.

“Our goal with Ultimate Grogu was to make fans feel like he’s truly part of their world,” said Adam Biehl, Head of Disney Action Brands at Hasbro.

“Our design and development team spent hours studying how the character came to life in The Mandalorian series, striving to capture his personality and movements in a way that honors what Lucasfilm delivered in entertainment. Powered by our long-standing collaboration with Disney Consumer Products, we’re launching the most life-like, interactive, and expressive Grogu character Hasbro has ever created.”

Ultimate Grogu is available for pre-order now on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and Fan Channel retailers, with two pre-order options launching simultaneously. The first option with standard packaging will begin shipping in early 2027, while a limited run of First Edition quantities – featuring special edition packaging and a collector card – will ship in late 2026.
