Why You Can Trust CNET Amazon now has a Baby Yoda Echo Dot stand
Preorders of The Mandalorian's The Child stand are now open.

Baby Yoda now comes as an Echo Dot 3rd Gen stand.
Amazon has launched a Baby Yoda stand for the 3rd Gen Echo Dot. The Child stand, "made for Amazon" by phone case manufacturer Otterbox, will be released and shipped for delivery on Aug. 20 for Prime members if you pre-order for $25. The stand has little green ears and a base that looks like Baby Yoda's robe. You can nest your Echo Dot 3rd Gen inside.
Amazon describes it as the "cutest bounty in the galaxy, an instant conversation starter.
Preorders are open now, and you can get the Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen for $50 in charcoal, gray, plum and sandstone (but you're better off waiting for the price to drop back to $30 or lower, as it frequently does.)
Baby Yoda took the world by storm when the first episode of The Mandalorian aired on Disney Plus in November 2019. Wide-ranging merch featuring the beloved character ranges from Funko Pops to T-shirts, whiskey glasses, stickers, artwork, plush toys, robots and even a Hot Wheels car.
