Sphero’s BB-8 droid is one of the must-have smart toys this year, and today is the final chance to get your hands on one in time for Christmas. We’re also happy to announce a new bundle, combining the BB-8 Droid with the Force Band that allows you to control him with a gesture. You can also pick up the Force Band separately if you’ve already bought a BB-8. Let’s take a closer look!
The Sphero BB-8
The original BB-8 droid from Sphero was a big hit when it was released in the wake of Star Wars: The Force Awakens last year. With the same unique movement as the film version, the Sphero BB-8 can roll around your home, respond to your voice and even play augmented reality holograms. It has a cute personality that will build over time, and whether you’re leading it through tricks or letting it explore your home autonomously, you’ll come to love this inquisitive droid. BB-8 works with Android, iPhones and iPads, so you’ll be able to play with BB-8 no matter where your loyalties lie.
The Sphero Force Band
The Force Band is a new add-on for the Sphero BB-8, allowing you to control your rolling droid using the force. By making the force your ally, you can also hunt for Holocrons in Force Awareness mode. There are plenty of other activities to try too, including Combat Training with a blaster, light sabre or the force itself, ensuring that you get plenty of use out of your Force Band!
All three options are available now at Mobile Fun — the Sphero BB-8 bundled with the Force Band, the BB-8 by itself, and the Force Band by itself — perfect for families that already own a BB-8 droid. For more photos and information, check out the links below:
