This color-changing Gonk Droid was released packed-in with the Droid Factory Playset
The Droid Factory Playset was available on opening day of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, CA on May 31, 2019
The Gonk Droid changes colors based on the temperature, it can be displayed with a blue body (cold) or a gray body (warm)
The color change can be achieved by either dipping the droid in cold or warm water, or by simply placing it in a freezer or rubbing it with your hands to warm the figure up
The droid's original color when it was still in its packaging was blue, that's why we photographed it in its blue color for the website entry
The see the blue Gonk Droid and the gray version side by side have a look here
The recommended temperature mentioned on the packaging for the color change to occur is 86° to 107.6° Fahrenheit (30° - 42° Celsius) and 32° - 64° Fahrenheit (0° - 18° Celsius)
Once the droid's color has changed it will remain in this color, however, if you have it displayed with the color tone in its cold state, and you touch it to adjust the pose or to move it, it will likely warm up the figure because of the body temperature, and as a result the color will change on the droid where you touched it
