New Droid Depot 3.75" figures

I can report that the proud BB was spotted at both trading post and world of Disney in downtown Disney outside the park today. Obviously no wdw 50 droid here.
They keep W50 exclusive to FL? Huh. Didn't know they took their merch so seriously!
If memory serves correctly I believe R2-D60 was only found in Disneyland.
Interesting design. Wonder why the Ahsoka homage specifically? I can pass on this one though, since I don't collect any astromech with a dome type that hasn't appeared on-screen.
Don't have any R6, R7, or R8 domes in my collection.

gotcha, actually was about to post an update to my own ?, lol
maybe this will be her new droid. The backside of card could reveal more info
I don't recognize the backdrop. Looks painterly. Maybe something from the CW animated series? Rebels?
If it is her droid in some upcoming media, the name is a bit on-the-nose, but I suppose the color pattern homage isn't that far fetched, considering those clones painted their helmets to look like her face (which I honestly found kind of weird, tbh lol).

Yeah it had me from a distance and then it didn't when I got a closer glimpse, the body/leg deco is fine but they lose me at the dome. While I do kind of like R6 and R9 domes the R7's I don't care for at all. If I can get an order in I might just get it for the body and give it a spare yellow R2 or R5 dome that I haveInteresting design. Wonder why the Ahsoka homage specifically?

The gal at the Disney booth in the exhibit hall said the droid was available today in star traders and trading post. Guess I’ll be getting it tomorrow.

I'm with you. The R7s just don't work for me, aesthetically. Not a fan of all the triangular elements in the design. As such, this is an easy pass.
Gotta say that I love the R6s, though. They feel straight outta the 70s, so I was stoked to see them show up on screen in the sequel trilogy.

....as i predicted, an r7 for Halloween and an r6 for holiday....(btw, why haven't there been a Hannukah themed holiday droid. Some been "Christmas" or basic winter themed, but not Hannukah)...these holiday droids could stand a blue variant if nothing else
Gotta add these to my collection.
oh maybe after an r0 droid, they'll do an SK-620 mold

YESSSS R2-B00!! I wanted that one but it was 'spensive. Nice to see some R6s and 7s, hope we get R8s next year.

look at the pattern, and an R8 should be next year's Halloween droid and holiday should be an R7
Interesting, seems to be a heavy dose of Droid love going on. Nice to see as it's been very sparse for a couple years. And while those "reissue 4-pks" are nice to get out for people who missed them it's really just old news, I particularly would like another shot at the two at either ends of the set. And I really like the R6-SNO droid, the purple one not somuch.
It would be nice if they all went up online at once so you could qualify for both the discount and free shipping, but they'll probably trickle them out one by one. lol

"There's too many of them!!!!"
Wow! So much droid goodness! I would like more details on R7-TN0 and the advent calendar. That snowman droid looks cool. A bit underwhelmed by the Dracula Halloween droid.
Good to see the skeleton droid reissued- best of the bunch to date.
I like the concept of this, but really hope that reindeer R5 or the R3 are not part of the set. The reindeer can still be had for cheap, and we don't need a third release of the R3. Hoping some original designs are in this thing. I see a possible white gonk and (maybe?) green gonk, but not much else in way of newness.

Hope this means i will be able to get a pride droid set eventually. It was nice to fill out my Christmas droids this past winter. The Halloween droids are most welcome too. Only have one carded.

Surprised R2-MK hasn't been rereleased on a card or in a set yet.
