From Disney, the Power Droid (Wind-Up Fight Droids) is pretty big - it might be too big, but it's neat. It walks and swings its arms with all the precision of the windmill. It's $9.95 for both figures, so it's plenty cheap. Read on!
Disney theme parks are selli Solo: A Star Wars Story - Wind-Up Fight Droids for $9.95 (plus shipping). The Astromech 4-pack isn't online at this time - I still need to get one, myself - but this 2-pack is. The listing says they're 3 3/4-inches, so I assume that means they'll fit nicely next to Hasbro figures. Order yours here.
Gold! The Vendor Droid (Gold, Droid Factory) is based on designs from The Clone Wars and is sold at Disney parks in parts bins. Should you get one? Probably! Read on!
We're less than a month away from Solo toys, but while we wait let's catch up with LOM-Series Protocol Droid (Blue, Droid Factory). You can put it together at the Disney parks, and yours might look different from mine - but it's blue! It's cool! Read on.
I saw The Last Jedi last night, but I wrote the review of BB-9E (Droid Factory Line Look) a couple of weeks ago so as to avoid spoilers for you all. It's a nice figure! It looks good! And yes, this is the Disney one - we'll look at Hasbro's shortly. Read on!
Disney's exclusive BB-4 (Droid Factory Line Look) gives us a glimpse at the new movie that opens tomorrow. So soon? Yes. Anyway, what's his deal? I don't really know yet, but I look forward to finding out. Read on!
It's a strange new era of licensing Star Wars, with some of the strangest and newest things coming straight from the halls of Disney. My pal Zac was at Anaheim's theme park this week and spied this new AT-AT Popcorn Bucket for $25. He said it's about half of the size of a Kenner one and it's awkward and bulky - as you can see, it's a big toy with a hollow slot for a popcorn sack. After years of novelty drinkware, it's certainly something new.
One good droid deserves another - the BB-8 (Droid Factory Line Look) is a newish mold! He's bigger than Hasbro's, but the deco is different - not better, not worse. Neither seems truly superior, but this one is bigger and a little bit more adorable thanks to the eye seeming to have more life in it. Read on!
Not from Hasbro! Disney's 2BB-2 (Droid Factory Line Look) is pretty slick and, for some reason, have the lettering backward. Go figure. It's a neat robot that looks kind of like a globe of Earth. Read on!
Thanks to the great Shannon, we now know Anaheim Disneyland has the Protocol Droids! 2 for $21.95. cheap. I've got a bunch of these (thank you Shannon!) and reviews will be going into Figure of the Day semi-irregularly, as often as I can. If you're in Southern California, perhaps a trip to the house of mouse is due soon.
There are multiple styles and colors, but not every droid is available in every color. As far as we know there are no new styles available from Orlando, but if you discover otherwise please let us know!
The glossy Vendor Droid (Black, Droid Factory) is available in Flordia now, and it's pretty sharp. It's shiny, it's not something we've seen in a movie or TV show yet, and it looks like it could belong on the Death Star playset you'll probably never get. But I digress. Read on!
Take a look at R5-S9 (Droid Factory), it's blue! The colors don't match the show perfectly, but it's also not an animated figure. You can find this The Clone Wars-inspired robot at Disney theme parks in a 4-pack, and of course we're going to look at them all. Read on!
