And finally, single-carded C1-10P "Chopper" (https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/04/life-long-star-wars-fan-develops-unique-merchandise-products-coming-to-disney-parks-this-month/) coming to SW Celebration and the Disney Parks... love his accessories, especially the rolling 3rd leg/wheel.

They nailed this one, I love it!
-
That's pretty cool. I like how they incorporated the head mounted manipulator arms.
-
Disney Droids. You can't just buy one.

Have we received this paint scheme for Chopper before? This seems different than the version I have. More gray on the body of this one.
-
Sweet! Looks like he comes with the little radar dealio as well as a replacement leg. I love the inclusion of the arms and the roller ball leg. This is a most welcome surprise...I'm in for two at least. :)

This appears to be a brand new (Disney?) sculpt. At the very least, it's a new head, new legs (with articulated feet), and third wheel/rocket attachements. That torso looks new to me too - almost looks like the arm from the torso may pop out compared to the original Hasbro sculpt.
Here's a loose pic for a better look.

Never did find a Chopper, not even that 2 pack he was in. Getting this one will be tricky.
-
After the disappointment of not making it in on the Lego exclusive lottery - this quadruple whammy of Droid Factory Exclusives that will be available in the Disney Parks booth makes the trip to Star Wars Celebration all that much better!
The Chopper one is definitely my favorite, followed closely by the 4-pack. I'm not sure why, but the protocol droids don't excite me as much, but that won't stop me from getting them. :-X
-
This guy looks amazing! I hope he (and the other exclusives) are not hard to track down...
-
The Chopper figure Hasbro should've made a couple of years ago is done by Disney. Good news, yet...I'll probably never get around to getting it.
-
This should be fun to try and get.
-
This figure is amazing!!! The dome arms have two POA each, plus they can be removed.
The dome dish on Chopper is done like a "hat" so it can be removed from Chopper and put on any other BAD dome. The middle wheel leg and thruster peg is the same as the middle leg that has been used in the BAD line.
So this one figure represents a major addition of new parts for the line.
-
The did a really nice job on this one. I'm gonna pick him up, just because.
-
My friends picked up all these for me. Eric Franks from www.imperialholocron.com says Chop is amazing! Glad to have him this nice. Totally cool that they included his extra correct leg he tried to steal. One of my fav episodes actually.
-
Chopper is now listed on the Disney parks merchandise app but out of stock. I assume like the others he will go live soon.
-
I picked up two from the app this morning.
-
Mine showed up today from eBay, fantastic figure! Really makes me want the rest of the Ghost crew done realistically and a Ghost (made by Disney)
-
I received the first of two I purchased with the Disney Parks app. I got this one with one of the remote control Mouse Droids (extremely cool BTW) so the card on this one is quite bent. Disney doesn't really consider the collector when they ship stuff. :-\
Still the figure looks cool, I since the card isn't creased I'm hopping this one will go into one of my protecto paks ok and I'll open the other that should arrive on Monday.
-
Where can I buy one of these? Are they making any more?

The Disney Shop Parks app is showing that they're only available in the parks at this time. I've been checking on a regular basis, and that status hasn't changed over the past few weeks.
-
I finally gave up and ordered this one on eBay. Managed to get it for $19, which is only about $2 more than the App would cost.
-
Got to pick one up while on a job at DLand. Gotta say, what a well done figure. Kudos on the attention to detail.
-
One of the better figures in the last at least 5 years. Def one of the best figures of a droid ever. Wondering when they'll doninevitable repaint. I'd buy a handful of him in the imperial deco.

This!
I can't believe Hasbro never gave us that easy repaint, I have been wanting one forever.

Would have been nice to get a Rebels 4-pack - Imperial Chopper repaint with maybe R2-D2, R3-A3 (from Sato's group), and BG-18 (from the Mon Cal who made the B-Wing).
But then someone at Disney would have had to give Rebels more than 5 minutes of attention over the past 4 years. :P

Give it time. It took them 19 months to get a Droid Factory BB-8 out and they just released the "standard" Chopper at SWCO this past April. Not to mention the fact that we also got a Clone Wars 4-pack at SWCO too.
This has been one of the more ambitious years for Droid Factory:
- R5-013/R2-C2/R5-S9/R5-P8 - Clone Wars 4-pack (SWCO)
- C1-10P "CHOPPER" (SWCO)
- R2-D2 / C-3PO 40th Anniversary 2-pack (SWCO)
- R-3D0 (SWCO)
- R5-D23 Exclusive
- R3-B0017
- BB-8
- BB-8/2BB-2/BB-4/BB-9E - The Last Jedi 4-pack
- R4-X2/Y5-X2 - Force Friday II/The Last Jedi 2-pack
- R3-H17
- 21 New Protocol Droid Heads along with the corresponding arms, legs & torsos
Before 2017, there are had only been 7 carded figures, two box sets and the two waves of Astromechs all spread out from 2012 through 2016!
To put that in perspective, once R3-H17 is released that will mean SIX carded Droid Factory figures for 2017, plus two 2-packs (which are new in 2017) and two 4-pack box sets (of which we got one in 2015 and one 2016).

I'll say. I dropped $160 when I was at Disneyland on a job just catching up with it all.
