We’re suckers for a lot of Disney merchandise; that’s a fact for sure, but sometimes we see something that really makes us stop in our tracks…for better or for worse.

With this newest release, we’ll be honest, we’re a little stuck in the middle. Disney just announced the arrival of Batuu Adventure Buddies at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park, and the first one is none other than an adorable Ewok. There’s only one problem — what in the WORLD is going on with his teeth?
The Ewok will be the first in the new Batuu Adventure Buddy collection, which will officially launch in Disneyland on August 13th, but don’t worry, he’ll be making his way to Disney World at a later date. You can find him at the Droid Depot, and more friends are on the way, which is all fine and dandy, but these TEETH?! Disney, what is happening?

From afar, it doesn’t look super noticeable. Don’t worry, we’ve done the work for you — let’s zoom in, shall we?

AHH! Yep, there they are. It’s a small detail, yes, but from the moment we first saw it, now it’s all we can see. However, we will admit that this little guy has a lot of fun functionalities that will likely distract you from the horror story that is those teeth. The Ewok is interactive and has expressive eyes, motorized facial expressions, and a mix of signature sounds, including giggles, laughs, and chatter to showcase its personality, and the other two coming to the collection have the same features.

The Ewoks can also interact with other droids built in the Droid Depot, which is quite impressive. If you tap a single time on its head or tap twice on its belly, you’ll get a random response, but three quick, consecutive head taps enable two special animations: the Endor Dance Party or the Forest Call Chain. Your buddy can also be further customized with optional accessories that are available for an additional fee inside the Droid Depot. The food, toys, and tools that come with the gear sets connect directly to your pal’s left hand and trigger unique animations, sounds, and reactions — they’re more than just for show!

We’re very excited these are also coming to Disney World, because despite the teeth, we’ve got a feeling they’ll be quite popular, especially with their interactive elements. No release date has yet been announced for the other two toys coming to the collection, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out, so stay tuned to DFB!
