Over the years, these two droids were involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles. Join C-3PO and R2-D2 on their adventures throughout the galaxy.

This special Droid Factory set was created to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars. Its unique package design pays homage to the original Kenner action figure packaging and does not feature the holographic-droid schematic on the front of the packaging.  This set includes a couple of other firsts; it is the fist two-pack to be released in the line, includes the first time the designers have every used a ‘wash’ deco on a Droid Factory figure and includes a Protocol Droid mold which until this set’s release at Star Wars Celebration Orlando, previously did not exist in the Build-a-Droid line.

Disney broke their usual Astromech mold by producing this C1 model droid.  This all-new sculpt, which is much shorter than the average Astromech, marks the first time an Astromech arm has been created. The set features multiple new parts in the form of new legs, arms and middle leg accessories. This is also the first time that this line has included scene specific parts in the form of Chopper’s extra leg from the Star Wars Rebels episode “The Forgotten Droid”. This droid first became available at the Disney Parks booth at Star Wars Celebration Orlando and around Walt Disney World the same day.
