This Battle Droid was released exclusively at Target stores for Star Wars Day May the Fourth 2026
The figure is a repaint of the Black Series Battle Droid from 2019
This time, Hasbro didn't include any antennas or a backpack, but they did include a blaster, a soft-goods shirt, and a target practice cardboard insert with Anakin Skywalker's silhouette on it
The shirt says Roger Roger Robotics on the front, while the back features the May the Fourth Be With You logo
The soft-goods shirt is removable if you don't want to display the droid wearing it
The droid itself was painted with red highlights which are reminiscent of the Security Battle Droids from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, but in order for it to be movie-accurate, it would have needed additional paint applications on the shoulders and back
The droid blaster fits nicely into the right hand, but only very loosely into the left
The Battle Droid stands an impressive 6.5 inches tall
The joints are very well hidden on this Battle Droid
It's possible to fold the droid up into a sleeping pose (you can get close, but not all the way as seen in the movie)
All in all, this is a quirky release which is missing the antennas and the backpack (and has an inaccurate paint application)
However, if you are looking for unique packaging which celebrates May the Fourth, then this might be for you (and we can always use more Battle Droids, right?)
