The set was available on opening day of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, CA on May 31, 2019
This droid changes colors based on the temperature, it can be displayed blue (cold) or in BB-8 orange/white colors (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 other color which this droid can be changed to is orange/white and to see both colors 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, it will likely change the color where your fingers touched it
For this figure Disney used their build-a-droid sculpt, this allows for the droid to be taken apart into the dome, 2 body shells and the weight on the inside
There were no accessories included with this BB-Unit
The figure keeps its balance very well without rolling off
The dome can be rotated 360°
There are no hidden panels or gadgets built into this BB-Unit
