To power up BB-8, three different sets of batteries are required. Note: while it’s designed for children ages 6 and up, we do not recommend young children lifting BB-8- he’s darn cute, but he’s not the lightest droid on Jakku.

At 16 inches tall, approximately the size of three or four basket balls, and about 20 pounds, the BB-8 Hero Droid is taken straight from the movie. While many toys inspired from movies are scaled down versions, the BB-8 droid is the actual size of its blockbuster self. With similar movement to a Rumba vacuum cleaner, this droid knows how to roll and is always on the go! Using voice controls or the two-stick remote control, kids and kids at heart can lead BB-8 around and watch it react (look for smooth floors/surfaces only though-BB-8 is a little sensitive and can sometimes lose his head). Just as BB-8 follows Rey and Poe in The Force Awakens and undoubtedly in The Last Jedi, this Hero Droid does the same for its owner IRL. This droid is a must-have for any Star Wars collector, droid enthusiast, or anyone passionate about artificial intelligence and/or robots. Spin Master has replicated BB-8 from the Star Wars universe and it’s absolutely incredible! It’s a pal, a companion, and the most loyal and playful droid on the market. To call the BB-8 Hero Droid just a toy is an understatement.
