Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R5-ZOMB (Droid Factory). He's from last year, but just look at it. Making a holiday droid that somehow integrates into the greater universe is tough, and the muted colors really work here. It feels like a piece of equipment left exposed to the great outdoors, complete with a rusted-out hole in the dome and dirty paint applications. One eye is blacked out with the other two featuring a yellow dot set inside red, and there are tons of painted pink panels and gross green highlights in addition to a smattering of paint specks. This is a good one - even if you don't do the Halloween thing, you could see this in a Sandcrawler or Jabba's Palace somewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-B0025 (Droid Factory). We have had an orange BB-8, but this is the first R2 unit in orange - and it's a good one. Metallic orange paint over orange plastic makes panels pop, with green and black elements around a few gold bits. It's a really decent droid. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,264: B5-R4 (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory) wants to buy yez a drink. While very similar to R4 droids from the past 20 years, the paint mask shapes are different, and it's more of a grayish blackish color more than a green like we've seen before. The drink harness is a little different too, as are the drinks. You won't be disappointed by it, even though you might be saying "I swear I have something like this at home." Read on!
Now at Disney (thanks for the heads-up Phil) it's a Star Wars R2-B0025 Halloween Droid Factory Figure. It's the second pumpkin droid - the first was BB-8 in orange from 2020. The name R2-B0025 is a good choice, however it is unfortunate they did not hold off to deploy this nomenclature until 2085. Shipped, the droid is going to be around $27 after tax and shipping.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-DL70 (70th Anniversary of Disneyland, Droid Factory). It's neat - it's still available. The colors look very modern, for 70 years ago, and the rich metallic colors pop nicely. I don't have a need to celebrate a building at a theme park, but metallic purples, golds, and blues made me want yet another R2-D2 repaint. Lots of little blue panels are colored in, with gold outlines, so I dig this one as yet another weird one-off. Read on!
While supplies last, this year's new C1-RN8W figure is $14.99 plus free shipping with the code "FREESHIP." I paid $10, and I wish I waited - oh well. You can get yours until the offer expires.
UPDATE: There's a free shipping offer Monday, February 17 until 8:00 PM Pacific time. I just got mine. Order yours, save ten bucks.
UPDATE #2: As of February 20, the droid has sold out. Keep an eye on Disney parks if you're in the market for one.
The Disney R2-BNE Star Wars Droid Factory Figure. Retailing for $14.99, it includes a debut hat. Adding to the holiday collection with what I assume the first-ever Easter droid - unless I missed one - should be a welcome addition to any collection. New orders are welcome. Shipping is about $9.99. Purchases may also be available at Disney parks or Downtown Disney locations, so keep an eye open. Right now, there's a free shipping code for $75+, "SHIPMAGIC." I don't think you'll want to miss this one. Details of the bio weren't shown, but it seems to indicate this is R2-D2 in Easter colors. Eggs-actly what I would want.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R1 (Holiday Droid Factory). This Advent Calendar figure is very tall, and mashes up a bell with a candy cane. It's not a bad idea, but it is a little on the weird side and may not have a home outside of a holiday set-up. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: B2EMO (Holiday Droid Factory). This Advent Calendar figure is short, but colorful - it comes with a lot of other robots and you can still order it while supplies last on the Disney shop or at your "local" theme park. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: D-0 (Holiday Droid Factory). It's a red repaint that comes in this year's Disney Advent Calendar - and I would say probably the least interesting droid of a pretty good collection for 2024. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1-MNST4 (Droid Factory). This is last year's Disney Halloween droid, based on Frankenstein's Monster features on Chopper's body. There's very little paint here, but a lot of color makes it a nifty toy that you hopefully got before the parks stopped selling them. Happy Halloween! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C4-R4C (Droid Factory). As the only 3 3/4-inch figure of this droid, it's the best - and it's pretty good too. There are a lot of grimy paint apps over a freh figure, so if you squint and get in close it's quite impressive. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 3PO Protocol Droid (Silver, Droid Factory). It's not TC-14, but I can see why you might assume it is. This one doesn't have a shiny silver finish, the chest tooling and hands are different, and he has blue eyes - and you had to buy him by putting together parts from bins in a theme park. But now you can't. How was he when you could buy him seven years ago? Read on!
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!
Hasbro's last TC-14 figure was shipped to stores in 2020, so this new one - complete with easy joke accessory - may be of interest.
