Welcome to Wishlist After Dark! I'm Penny, here with Marty Dazzle, the sparkliest blazer in the building, and Sunny, who's already wagging. Thanks, Penny! Folks, look at this little guy. It's Grogu from Star Wars, as a soft, squishy Squishmallows plush! Hi, everyone! Oh, he's so round and cuddly. I'm smiling already. And he's the perfect gift for kids and teens who love Star Wars and cuddly plush. That's a lot of happy faces, folks!

Here's how it's described. Okay, Sunny, what makes it more than a cute face? It's a Squishmallow, Penny, so it's made to be squeezed and hugged. Ooh, and look, the tag's got The Mandalorian logo right on it! The show's logo, right on the tag! Sunny, is our little friend flying solo? Nope! The line also comes as other Star Wars characters. There's Chewbacca, right beside him! Oh, I want the whole crew on my couch!

Sunny, picture this one under the tree. I can see it! Paper flying, and a kid hugging Grogu before the bow's even off. And check this out, folks: BuzzFeed readers made it a favorite gift of 2026! Okay, Penny, give it to them straight. Fine print time. One buyer says it's bigger than expected, so check the size on the listing before you order. In the box? One plush, no batteries. Bigger just means more to hug, Penny!

And a buyer calls it soft, cuddly, and excellent quality. Spoken like a true golden retriever. Not into Star Wars or plush? Skip it. For fans, I'm at seven point four. Sunny? Eight point three from me, those hugs are real! Marty? Eight point seven! I'd put him on a shelf if he weren't so huggable. Put together, that's an After Dark Score of eight point one, just outside the top eight on our toy board.

It's a buy for any Star Wars fan who loves a cuddle. Folks, the link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
