Review: Star Wars™-Chewbacca™ Animatronic Interactive Figure

Photo-A-Day #3887
Interactive Chewbacca

We received this incredible Star Wars™-Chewbacca™ Animatronic Interactive Figure from Thinkway Toys to try out and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

Wow, this is such an incredible toy. We’ve been playing with this for the past couple of days and have really enjoyed the results. Chewbacca is one of our very favorite Star Wars characters and he is so cool. The figure is covered in authentic looking hair and then his head is rubbery so that when he moves and vocalizes his mouth moves as well.

There are a bunch of other Star Wars Animatronic Interactive toys from Thinkway Toys. In addition to Chewbacca there is a Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Stormtrooper, and a C-3PO figure as well as remote control toys like R2-D2 and an AT-AT Walker. I know of some friends who also have these toys and are having great times playing with them. Very much like how Andrew is having a great time with Chewbacca. Check out how it looks in this short video.

Andrew obviously enjoys playing with Chewbacca. This is a toy for children 4 and up so he’s a great age for it. He’s particularly excited about when he shouts and gets Chewy to fire his bowcaster. There are many cool ways to interact with the toy. I left the room and he had a conversation with Chewbacca and it was so cute. I see him playing more and more with the toy especially as his excitement over Star Wars grows.

More details about the toy are below. Continue reading Review: Star Wars™-Chewbacca™ Animatronic Interactive Figure →

Limited Edition Star Wars™ Light FX Characters Available Now

If you have been playing Disney Infinity 3.0 and using the Star Wars characters who have Lightsabers, haven’t you thought to yourself, “I wish these lit up.”? Well, the wait is over but the search is on because Disney Infinity 3.0 has just released six Limited Edition characters with Light FX. The six characters are Kanan Jarrus, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. Each character can be found at a different retailer. I am not sure if later they will be available in all stores but since these are Limited Edition they might be more difficult to gather in one single trip. However, for a true fan these are going to be very sought after. If I end up getting some they are definitely not going to be left out for Andrew to break. He’s already snapped the lightsaber off of Vader and broken Chewy’s crossbow.

I think that I initially heard about these at D23 and was very excited about them. I’m really excited to see that they are finally being released. Happy searching!
