A Life-Size Plush BB-8 Is the Next Best Thing To a Real Droid

Sphero ’s version of BB-8rolls and moves just like the movie version does , but at around half - a - foot tall it ’s a little disappointing in terms of scale . That ’s why we ’re allure to drop$50 on this life - size of it plush versionfromThinkGeekthat sense more like a true companion droid .

At two - groundwork marvelous , 18 - inch in diameter , and count five - and - a - one-half - Cypriot pound , this is as close as you ’ll get to a veridical - life version of BB-8 — as long as you ’re OK with him not rolling , moving , or talking . you may just pretend that the little droid is sleeping all the meter , or silently plotting to take down what persist of the Empire .

Instead of electronics and circuitry , all you ’ll regain inside this BB-8 is shred polyester fibers and plastic pellet . But that actually makes it far easier to curl up at dark with this version of the little droid . Try that with the substantial BB-8 , or R2 - D2 , and you ’ll be staring down an uncomfortable night ’s slumber . [ ThinkGeek ]
