Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,082: R6 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 16, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R6 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022). It's an elf! And you can still get one, if you dare. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,079: R4 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R4 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022). It's a nice design, but I don't think I understood the inspiration - it looks like DHL, but not. There's a little symbol on the dome, it's kind of sparkly, but mostly it just looks like a cool droid you wouldn't mind having around in any Star Wars scenario. I like it a lot. Read on!

New from Disney: R8-H23 Star Wars Droid Factory Figure

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, October 9, 2023

New from Disney: R8-H23 Star Wars Droid Factory Figure! This one has a wreath, and looks like it belongs in a holiday display. Or a Strawberry Shortcake display. Either way, it's pretty cool and it's $14.99 - and probably in the parks, too.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,931: R2-W50 (Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 7, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-W50 (Droid Factory). It's a figure painted to look sort of like the repaint of a castle at a theme park, except the droid is clear for some reason. It's a bizarre but distinctive looking figure, and arguably the kind of thing that's more interesting as a weird collectible toy than something from the Star Wars galaxy. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,900: G4-5B (Droid Factory Mystery Crate)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 17, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: G4-5B (Droid Factory Mystery Crate). It may look like green droids you already have, but rest assured, that's because it is a lot like green droids you already have. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,861: R9-Series Astromech Droid White with Purple Panels (2015 Edition)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 7, 2021

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R9-Series Astromech Droid White with Purple Panels (2015 Edition). The dome may not be super familiar outside fans of the classic Expanded Universe, but that's what makes it neat! Also it's very purple. Read on!

Disney Droid R6-W1CH In Stock at ShopDisney Now

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 9, 2021

MoreVia ShopDisney: Fi¿Star Wars Droid Factory Halloween Figure – R6-W1CH. Right now, the droid is $12.99 plus shipping - not a bad deal, considering previous ones tend to sell $20 or more (much more) if you wait too long. Sadly many of us missed R2-RNBW, the Pride droid, and I'm still cranky. (Please sell me one if you have a spare. Loose fine.)

Happy Halloween!  This means the Christmas droid is likely to show up real soon.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,799: R2-Series Astromech Droid White with Red Panels

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, April 12, 2021

Today's Figure of the Day comes from a theme park: R2-Series Astromech Droid White with Red Panels. I took a while to get to a lot of these droids, but the white dome look is pretty distinctive - and the red panels are a little bit different than some of the other ones Disney put out. It doesn't remind me of any specific droid in any of the TV shows or films, but at least it looks different than a lot of the other figures in my droid collection. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,790: R6-Series Astromech Droid White with Yellow and Silver

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, March 22, 2021

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R6-Series Astromech Droid White with Yellow and Silver. It's a redeco of a redeco - a second take at a yellow droid for Disney parks' parts bins. It's more lemony in color, and has a few different changes from the previous release in 2012 - assuming you can find one, it's pretty nifty. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,741: BB-BOO20 (Droid Factory Line Look)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, October 21, 2020

While we wait to find out what this year's holiday exclusive is - if there is one - we can look at the other holiday exclusive, BB-BOO20 (Droid Factory Line Look)!  It's a little pumpkin.  It's cute, and you can order it online for around $20 shipped. It's more than the $13 at the theme parks, but you're probably not going to the theme parks. Read on!

Halloween Star Wars Droid at Disney - BB-BOO20

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, August 9, 2020

3826 UPDATE: MyDisneyShop's selling it online. $14.99 + shipping.  It does not appear to be run by Disney, but the price seems lowest so far.

The pumpkin-themed BB-BOO20 is showing up at Disney parks - and maybe elsewhere - across the USA.  While the theme parks are closed, eBay is open - and that's where we're seeing these now.  They're about $13 in stores, so when buying yours keep in mind tax is a couple of bucks and shipping is usually $5 or less.

The figure is a redeco fo the popular build-a-droid format BB droids we've been seeing for a few years, so they split in the middle and have removable heads.  They're neat.

 

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,712: R5-D23 (Droid Factory Line Look)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 30, 2020

R5-D23 (Droid Factory Line Look) was an exclusive from D-23, a convention for when people used to gather for conventions to celebrate Disney, a company that used to put movies into theaters.   It's a redeco R5-D4 mold with a nifty hat - unlike the previous releases, this one lacks Mickey Mouse ears.   It's neat! But it's not as colorful as the R4-D23.  Read on!

Disney's Build-A-Protocol Droid Now in Anaheim at Disneyland

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, October 28, 2017

3459 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!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,398: Vendor Droid (Black, Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, August 23, 2017

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!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,391: R2-C2 (Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, July 31, 2017

Check out the R2-C2 (Droid Factory)! Disney's take on Ziro's droid has different glasses, a different drink spigot, and uses that build-a-droid mold.   Hasbro has one too as an Entertainment Earth Exclusive, and I'd say just get both - Ziro probably needs a lot of drinks.  Read on!
