8D8 was one of my favorites back in the day. Not only did he look really unique, he was in Jabba's Palace but also, if you flipped his legs up 180 degrees and layed him down, he looked like a weird droid-creature, or maybe even a strange speeder. The imagination we had as kids...

8D8 was one of the few SW toys that were able to make the jump to Transformers in my playtime. I would fold his legs in and raise his arms to give him a sort of alt mode (about as convincing as the average Pretender inner robot), he was a right bastard trying to screw over both the autobots and decepticons. I wish I had done more cross franchise mixing of my toys, but I was a pretty strict toy segregationist back then, to my regret now.

Never saw the Power Droid in shops that I visited - and no kid at school I knew owned one. As a child, he was probably the most mysterious figure in the SW Kenner lines. I liked him from the start. Never owned him back in the day, but did get two at a flea market in the early 1990s. I was impressed. I didn’t know his legs would click when moved - just like R2 and R4’s domes did. Same sound effect too, I think, which is cool. The last time Kenner did anything interesting with a droid figure, was EV-9D9’s opening mouth.

C3PO (removable limbs): I really loved this fig because it also doubles for the Tusken scene in Ep 4! R5-D4: One of the VERY BEST EVER! And he was the unsung hero of Ep4! I believe he blew his motivator on purpose because R2 told him of his mission and R5 knew the fate of the galaxy needed Artoo to be sold with C3PO. DEATH STAR DROID: Are you kidding, Junkman? The only "evil" droid until the bounty hunters. Super cool fig and very useful when playing with the Jawa Sandcrawler vehicle and Death Star Space Station playset. FX-7: Looks cool and very useful in play since he repairs things. But, the arms would break off if you used them too much. But really, none were awful or stupid. Some were cooler than others but in a galaxy filled with droids we needed a wide variety. So even the worst of these 'will do' imo.

His feel just could have been bigger.

The droids did have plenty of play value: R2 (and R4) had the clicking dome, in addition to the sensor scope and lightsaber for the later editions. Threepio had removable limbs and a vinyl net. The Power Droid had the clicking legs. EV-9D9 had the moving mouth. FX-7 had the most play value of all the droids - apart from the Droid Factory set, where you could build droids in different combinations from the parts offered in the set. The Death Star Droid had nothing - except the chrome paint.

I understand the problem with finding a Death Star Droid with the black on the shoulders. They are a pain to find with the black. However, the FX-7 is the worst of the droids to me. That middle arm on FX-7 breaks off too easily. If you're trying to find one now, good luck. That arm is almost always broken.

The the censor scope R2 figure is the one on Dagobah. The sensor scope's not unnecessary, because you would need some sort of tool as an indicator of the droid's function. The fat tip on the lightsaber is so it doesn't come out so easily and you don't lose it.

Favourites: R2 Sensorscope, 3PO Removable Limbs, Power Droid, Death Star Droid, R5D4 Meh: Zuckuss, IG88, Medical Droid, Torture Droid, Multi-Arm Driod, R2 Lightsaber If you are playing with a Jawas and Sandcrawler (mine was the cardboard Land of Jawas version) then you need R5D4, Power Droid, R2, C3PO, even Death Star Droid. R5D4 comes in handy with a Y-Wing fighter too. Paint one black and stick him on the Death Star with the Death Star Droid. I wasn't keen on the bounty hunter droids. IG88 was too lanky and Zuckuss felt like an evil 3PO with a head swap. After the prequels, IG88 reminds of the uncovered 3PO. Since we are talking bounty hunters, Dengar always looked like he got his dengar kicked by the others. My medical droid mouthpiece kept popping out and the multi-arm droid arms would never stay in place and I never remember that it's called FX7 or that the other one is 21B. What about Darth Vader? He's more machine than man. Does that qualfity him for droid status? Obi-wan may say yes. What about Lobot? His name always made me think he was some sort of android, and he turned on/off.

Where I went wrong as a kid was not even considering buying multiples of droids. I saw them as characters, not army builders. But really, they were mass produced product, so multiples makes sense. Especially Power Droids, Death Star Droids (evil droids!), and FX-7... seriously, shouldn't Han have kept an FX-7 handy for all those repairs on the Millennium Falcon? On the flip side, it's hard to imagine that in the 2010s I would get sick of all the astromech droids being produced. I just gave up on buying them all... Kenner line: too few. TVC line: too many.

Clear parts on 21B are fun when you're a kid. R2 with sensorscope wins over the dumb lightsaber one, and is a definite upgrade to original R2. Pop-apart 3PO SHOULD win over original, just for having tighter joints, but they were often not very deeply gold colored. Death Star Droid wasn't even Death Star Droid... wrong color. The figure is actually a guy from elsewhere in the movie.

Small victory for the Rebels. Some of my adventures were better than the movies itself. The adventures and the memories I had as a kid with my Star Wars toys will stay with me forever.

I think those of us who grew up with the original trilogy would have enjoyed the prequels a lot more if they had treated the droids more seriously. In particular the battle droids with those terrible voices. I still have a tough time accepting that there was absolutely no proper acknowledgement of R2D2 and C3PO. Why not just use other droids and make the whole thing so contrived just to basically wedge two beloved characters into the mix. As if we were expected to believe that the dark lord of the Sith, the Chosen One, Lord bloody Vader himself created the most camp protocol droid to ever grace the galaxy. " Ooh Hello"

Yeah … I wasn’t a big fan of the droids. As a child, I preferred the aliens - especially the four (five) cantina aliens. But any alien was good. The Gamorrean Guard and Squid Head were my favourite. I did own only two droids back in the day: IG-88 and 2-1B. IG-88 is still my favourite droid. Such a great design - and he was so big - plenty value for money! 2-1B was another interesting design. I liked his transparent torso, and the microphone thing that fit into his mouth. The pic of him on the card looked so weird, I thought as a youngster; he looked like he was carved from stone marble and not metal! Just check out the rough, pitted surface of his head and breast area. Bizarre!

Yes my son was nuts for Fx7 for a while, I had to hunt that one down for him. He grew up watching the clone wars series and the “FX” was frequently seen onboard the various ships And facilities so he was enamored with the design.

Before I watch past the two minute mark I'm going to go with EV9D9 being the WORST!!!! his arms fall out his legs curl and when other toys had bendable knees and elbows that bent and swiveled while other toys transformed....this guys mouth just moves a little...and with his height he just seems of scale with everything else.

Kinda agree with some, BUT, my differ is there should have been a tie for best obviously R2 and 3PO, then cool Power Droid ( I loved him he was cool too) on first then IG88, then R5 should have been in at very least will do, and if FX7 needed to be in either of the last two categories, he should have been in stupid over awful and before the medical droid. Other than that I agree with most of the rest. Happy New Year 🎉🎊🙂👍👍👍

The R2s and R5-D4 both could fit in the Y-wing, which was a great feature. From a play feature stand point that’s worth considering. The humanoid droids could all fit in vehicles that had room for pilots. It was the odd ball droids like FX and the power droid that didn’t really have the best play value, but they were pretty fun regardless. Junkman did forget the best droid, the Probot that came with the Hoth Turret playset. Hands down the coolest droid figure of the line.

What you called Zukkas is a robot.. Hence, the correct name 4-LOM. If Kenner mistakenly named the JAWA a SAND PEOPLE would you call the JAWA a SAND PEOPLE in 2025?

I guess I've always liked IG-88 because it is more than a droid, he's a bounty hunter. And with two guns! I have a couple of variants of him and up to day he is one of my favorite figures.
