If you're still thinking about going overboard for that Target BB-8...

[Leeway]

This was revealed at Toy Fair today in NY. From Jakks Pacific. 31"' high. lights and the heads moves. Not just spins, MOVES. This pic makes it look a little out of proportion but others make it look dead on. A few paint dabs for aging and I think you have a nice prop. I think the MSRP is $130.

Pretty cool.
Any idea when they will be out?

 

[Lichtbringer]

I need one. Well, in fact my wife says we need one.

 

[MCM]

That sounds like it could be quite cool. I'd like to see one in action!

 

[JaxAndTheMoon]

If it's $130, I wanna know its release date!

 

[Studio 49]

I. Need. This!
Fingers crossed it comes to Australia!

 

[Studio 49]

Also do you have any links to where you got the picture or anywhere else with details?
I'd love to have a look

I heard $180, and if true I am soooooooo buying one.

Found a site that has it listed as May 1st.

It'll look awesome with some weathering!

 

[Solos blaster]

Will be getting one!

Also looks like a 1/3 or 1/2 scale(or similarly scaled), R2-D2 behind him.

That's a different one. That's the voice activated remote control BB-8. A nice one from what I've seen but I think it's about 8 inches short of life size. The one I was showing here is life size with lights, sounds, moving head and "thumbs up" extension but it sits on a stand.

yeah when I saw the link I was looking at it on my phone while out of country... the video hadn't loaded yet.

the static BB8 on a stand actually looks WAY better, as this one may move, but doesn't "roll". I'm not sure why the article for the one I posted is saying it's maybe better than the sphero... the sphero BB-8 may be too small, but at least it's body is actually rolling!

I was thinking it would be bigger. It's still very cool.

there was info put out about this prior to toy fair. The one in the picture is a special version with the lighter and electronics. There will be a standard static version as well.

if I read the info correctly, the figure is for their 31" line, not actually 31" tall. Not really sure how they figure the scale as what they say the actual height was something like 16-18". The point is this is not a 1:1 scale figure. Nothing from the images at the show I have seen shows This to be 1:1.

i would think they would need a special license agreement to do one life size as that would qualify as a replica.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Definitely not 1:1 or 31 inches. I would say 18" maybe?

Media reporting the Spinmaster BB-8 as Life Size, when it's actually about 65%

Still, for (reportedly) under $200 it's pretty impressive. I'm guessing it hits around this years Force Friday.
