Meet BB-8 - the spherical - loyal Astromech Droid

We usually only talk about Kenner's and Hasbro's Star Wars action figures - but for BB-8 by Sphero we need to make an exception! This little droid is the coolest and most fun toy based on Star Wars The Force Awakens yet!

Meet BB-8Gäó - the spherical - loyal Astromech DroidGäó of Resistance pilot Poe Dameron. The app-enabled BB-8 is as authentic to the Star WarsGäó galaxy as it is technologically advanced. Set it to patrol and watch your Droid explore autonomously - make up your own adventure and guide BB-8 yourself - or create and view holographic recordings. BB-8 has something unlike any other robot - an adaptive personality that changes as you play. Based on your interactions - BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands. BB-8 is more than a toy - it's your companion.

The BB-8 App Enabled Droid by Sphero will be available starting Force Friday in the US and UK at:
