The Mandalorian Roleplay Mask
Let’s face it, if ya gotta wear a mask these days (and you do!), there’s none cooler than the covering sported by the Star Wars bounty hunter also known as Baby Yoda’s No. 1 guy. Now Hasbro is hookin’ kids up with their own version of the chrome dome in lightweight plastic with sturdy elastic bands to keep it in place. And if you want to up your cred in the galaxy, they also have a Nerf-fueled reproduction of Mando’s rocket-shooting wrist gauntlet and a light-up version of the Darksaber fans spotted at the very end of Season 1.
