New R-Series Droid Factory Action Figures Launch November 17

What Disney Has Confirmed

In its updated Disney Parks Blog guide to Droid Depot, Disney confirms that the new R-Series Droid Factory action figures launch November 17. A short press of the button on the canister activates the new lights and sound functions.

Disney also makes a distinction collectors should keep in mind: these Droid Factory action figures are separate from the larger Droid Depot Custom Astromech Units. The larger custom units are the ones Disney identifies as able to interact with Batuu Adventure Buddies.

What We're Hearing About Scale, Price, and Building Your Own

Even though it hasn't been officically confirmed (we've reached out to Disney for clarification), we've heard that the new figures will be in the 3.75-inch scale, with a suggested retail price of $19.99. We've also heard that guests will be able to put their own droids together at build stations, similar to the setup available before the pandemic. It's unclear if these droids will be made available to fans who are unable to travel to any of the Disney Parks locations. 

We've reached out to Disney for more information and are awaiting further details.
