Droid Depot - 3.75" Color Changing Droids

[Jeff]

Galaxy's Edge 3.75" Color Changing Droid 4-Packs revealed at Star Wars Celebration - sounds like they color change in warm/cold water. 

There are a couple of different sets being shown, not sure how many there are in total.

Here is a picture of one set from The Force Guide:



And here's another from LaugingPlace.com

What!?  Are these actual action figures?  My son used to have a Hot Wheels car that did this.  It was pretty cool for his bath time, but didn't get used much outside of that.  I'd be a little worried about getting water stuck in the joints.

Water and collecting toys. Ok

The Luke in Bacta tank was designed to fill the tank with water.  Luke had a hole in his back in order to keep him from trying to float and there's a tube you can blow into to make bubbles form from his mask.

What about that Filoni/Pittsburgh homage Chopper? Now if they could do him in his Imperial colors that would be awesome.

[Jesse James]

I thot the chopper was his Pitt and Imperial deco wasn’t it?  I love these and the playset seems to dump the water on them too and appears to have a blue-ish gonk to boot.

Love me some Disney Droids.  This weekend was very much an overload because these sort of slipped through the cracks with a lot of folks.

These are at Galaxy's Edge now... friend of mine just bought me one of each. 

[McMetal]

Damn, I forgot all about these. I really need that Chopper!

[Nicklab]

There's an article over at Jedi Business that shows the color change features on all of the droids.  The C-3PO one is pretty drastic, going from black to gold.  The same goes for Chopper.

Personally?  I really like the playset.  It seems like such a huge step forward from the vintage droid factory design.

[Jesse James]

Easily these are some of the coolest things released this year for 4” collectors.  Congrats on getting them Rob.  I’m anxious for these right now but can wait it out till I have friends able to go.

Lucky SOB! I can’t wait to get these. Still too high on eBay and my conversations with parks merchandise seem to indicate they may start selling them in a month after release. Also read somewhere else maybe in july they’ll be on the app. Until then I am stalking eBay.

[Rob]

I still don't have them in hand... friend just got back and I haven't seen him yet.  Hopefully in the next few days.  If no one else has them by then I'll toss some photos up here.

Wait... the promotional pictures made it seem like the "off" colors were the default states - so black C-3PO, red R2, blue BB-8, imperial colors Chopper, etc.. were all going to be the "default" states.

So the "default" state of Chopper is his "normal" colors?

Or is it that your room was particularly warm when you took the pictures?

[Rob]

Normal room temperature... not sure if they’re all like that or just mine, but that’s them... the back of the box says you have to put them in cold water to get the other colors.
