Technically it does work with any "R" series Droid you have purchased. That is why they include an R2 dome. The instructions do not say its compatible with every dome type. Is is misleading in regards to the "C1" series though since the legs don't lock in. I think it pretty cool but a little pricey for what you get, especially since you need a complete Droid to utilize it and then have a bunch of leftover parts laying about. I think they should knock about $15 off that price.
You can use the c series for this but you need the connector peace that allows you to use r series legs on c series body. That connector peace make it tall enough for the bottom ferry droid leg to click in
This is such a great accessory. Yeah $60+ for it maybe a steep but it’s Disney prices. It also makes yet another great platform for customising. Can’t wait to see what people do with it🍺 be the Spark and stay safe👍🏻
I appreciate you showing off this new droid kit. I'm glad that you like it. I'm kinda leaning towards Sad on this one. I like the arm movements and that you can get some cool poses out of it. Unfortunately the Droid isn't really that stable on its legs. I would constantly be worried that it would fall over and break. Plus the kit really should work 100% with all R models.
I think the R5, R6, and R7 would work okay without the dome extender, with the C1 canister I’m sure you could shave down the circle a bit to fit into the slot but yeah for $70 you shouldn’t have to modify it to work properly
I does have c1 compatibility, but not with chopper. The droids in the depot have an extension which extends the peg for the leg/wheel out so you can use it. Chopper doesn’t come with one, but the custom droids do.
Got to be careful, Sad might try to beat you with the stick during a video haha. Personally, I think it's pretty cool. It's be really cool if the balance was a little better. It did make me think "Well, now I need to make another droid" when I go there. I still need to make a first one haha.
What kind of paint do you use for your droids like the star tours one and weathering like on S4D? It looks awesome and I’m thinking of doing some customizations
I use all kinds of acrylic paint. For STR-TR5 I used a “airbrush colors” and created brand acrylic. And for S4D-B4BY I used a brush and liquitex basics. I’m not a stickler for most brands, it’s more about technique for me.
I would give this a 'sad.' You're an adult, so you can deal with adaptation, as well as you have different droid models. However put this as a kid, who only has 1 of the droids, and unbeknownst to them (even though the box says it will work for all of them), they happen to have the droid head that it doesnt work for..or one with the head whose lights dont work. For $70.
This is awesome. I wonder if they'll make some.changes to the design of the legs in the future that will allow you to have the Droid walk around with your remote.
Thanks for the thorough video. I think this is a great set. Nice that they include the unique head, and that they provide a head in general to make sure the buyer has a head that works. It’s a little disappointing that it doesn’t seem to work as advertised with the C1 canister, but I probably wouldn’t use it with it anyway.
I really like this set Shame chopper won't work with it, because I feel the smaller body would help with the weight Maybe when Droid depot releases it's regular C1 droids the legs will work better
This looks quite good to have as an exclusive item for Galaxy’s Edge. But the weight is an issue though for definite and what is up with the heads not fitting in?
They say on the box that the ferry droid set is compatibility with the C1? Yet the legs don’t click in properly? I wish that they included adaptors that make it fit, as well as adaptors for the different heads. I want both Chopper and the ferry droid set so badly, but I’m making myself wait until we move around the end of January. (Yeah, you know how that feels.) Maybe by then they’ll have these thing available in Batuu east.
I made my own droid with the chopper style body and they gave me an adapter so I guess if I had the ferry set it would actually lock in with this piece. They didn’t elaborate if this piece would work on the ferry set, but just if I wanted to use longer legs like the R series droids.
The droid is at the top of my list for when i go to galaxy's edge and this is def something im gonna have to pick up! I love the way bbh sounds. Not a fan of how flimsy it is. Are you gonna weather chopper and/or the ferry accessory?
Still have hope they will release OG STAR TOURS version of Rex or even the G2 droids. I don’t care for Chopper, but this Ferry droid set is pretty cool. Not sure about the price though haha
That looks really cool, but I think I'll wait for ferry droid 2.0 before I buy one myself. Do you have any special filter on your mic? when I've streamed with my droids on they are loud. If that is an inappropriate question I apologize. I haven't seen your videos in a long while. I do appreciate your honest review of star wars collectables.
You mean scrap metal? Yeah. They’ve had that at Disneyland since they reopened in April. Watch my livestream from Galaxy’s edge from a couple weeks back where I asked at Savi’s and got confirmation.
You know when you put the C droid together and you have to remove that thing off the bottom? I am willing to bet if you put that back, those legs from the accessory set would plug into it.
The R5 and R6 domes have those areas where they jut in. Like where the R5 is supposed to have the holographic tape. Could the extender be blocked by that?
I know this video came out a long time ago but I'm getting into modifying the droids and I noticed 2 of your controllers are different colors. Did you buy new shells or did you just paint them?
i thought their interaction was a myth since I've seen a lot of people compaining having 2 at home and they do nothing, they only interact with Batuu's droids
Maybe someone else has suggested these ideas, but depending on the strength of the hand, maybe you can use the oar like a cane to help hold him up? Also, maybe the bottom extender for the C unit body might allow the legs to clip in? Just some thoughts.
@@Dan-O I've got a question; I've bought another droid off eBay, and to keep their remotes separate I want to paint them. Did you take yours apart to paint them?
Wow, I was really looking forward to buying one of these and using a C1 body with an R4 cone dome but it actually looks to be a really crappy product. They even claimed compatibility with the C1 body and couldn’t even deliver that. Sad.
I does have c1 compatibility, but not with chopper. The droids in the depot have an extension which extends the peg for the leg/well out so you can use it. Chopper doesn’t come with one, but the custom droids do.
There's a possibility that the head or extender are wired wrong! Wouldn't have been hard to be clocked one spot off during assembly. I'll need to pick one up. Bought Chopper last time I was there but finances prevented me from splurging.
@The Dan-O Channel I had to 3D print the tower for my D'Jarran helmet. I had to install and wire my own spring contacts. It took a good deal of fiddling to finally get all contacts to touch.
That was great as usual. I was on Star Wars via Disney and could not find any of the droids. IF u have the time can u supply link for galaxy edge droids
Wait, so this whole time they’ve just been interacting with each other? I thought he had a person off camera with the remotes to make them move around and make sound so it adds life to the review.
@@Dan-O I heard you can control your droids even Chopper. Also it might act like the Bluetooth at galaxy’s edge where the droids interact. Idk but that’s what I heard.
@@richmanoogianjr1597 it’s used to control the droids but that’s it. If you want to have the Bluetooth signal like at the parks there are sellers on Etsy that make them.
It’s cool but not my sort of thing, when I get one ima make my droid just ur regular old r series unit. At the start you mentioned other merchandise does that include the pack that contains loads of different colour droid parts etc. I’m debating wether to make a droid Match our car which Is yellow and black but I can’t see any yellow pieces :/
Yeah selling the red dome head without a body when your whole droid is blue is weird. Yeah he is abit creepy, the arms and legs lose the cute compact droid baby nature a that you can carry around Disneyland.
Double check the connections on the arms and that they see screwed in securely. I had an issue with mine not being screwed on enough and it wasn’t making proper contact. The legs can be rigid and hard to bend but they should eventually let you post them. But be careful the more you pose them the weaker they get.
Bad design. They will have to make a special body so it don't tip so easy like that. To easy to make a child cry if the head cracks when it tips over. I learned this lesson the hard way one Christmas when my kids were young as this was their Santa present. Of course even Santa can have accidents dropping the toys from the sleigh, right? No worries, he'll bring another one just as soon as he can. LOL
Haha it’s called a supply chain blockage, once they get them back in stock they’ll give them out again. Are you really spending $100 for the box. It’s not like they even have a choice in the matter right now. Have you never been somewhere and something was out of stock? Seriously calm your tits there are worse things disney does to be mad about. Be mad because they don’t pay their employees enough for the amount of bullshit they have to put up with. Be mad because instead of management making signage that obviously explains the shortage they leave it up to some hourly cast member getting $11 bucks an hour to deal with every unreasonable asshat who wants to complain about a bag when it could have been avoided by being up front and preparing the employees. That’s something to actually be outraged over. Crying over a bag… You all got your priorities wrong on these whiny complaints.
Imagine the attitude chopper would have if he had arms and legs in Star Wars rebels
He would be given people the Finger.
He'd start flipping people off and slapping them, i love it.
He allready has 3 arms lol
@@tango_mango.11560 ferry droid arms not the stubby ones he has

Just use the standred 3rd leg and activate chop's unicycle mode.

Video reminded me of IG-11 learning how to walk again after Queel reprogrammed him in Mando Season 1 lol. I have spoken!
I hope that they start selling just the head extender cos that’s the only part I want.
I love how around 11:40 Sad just tries to shake his head no even though he doesn't have one.
Did you ever revisit the chopper unit with the extension base to see if the legs fit now?
I remember watching when you had 10k subs, havent been watching a lot lately but happy to see you doing so well with 70k now
Glad to see you back! you've got some catching up to do. haha
@@Dan-O 👍🏼👍🏼
it looks so much better with your custom paintjob

It’s a little disappointing that it doesn’t seem to work as advertised with the C1 canister, but I probably wouldn’t use it with it anyway.
I was nervous this whole video
I think it would be cool to see the head extender with the normal Droid legs.
They REALLY need to redesign those legs considering how top heavy these remote controlled R series remote control units are.
I would get this and hopefully I will get this next summer
This is definitely rad
Hope you get it and have fun 👍🏻
I really like this set
Shame chopper won't work with it, because I feel the smaller body would help with the weight
Maybe when Droid depot releases it's regular C1 droids the legs will work better
I think its pretty awesome for the most part. I thini it could use some tweaking to make it better.
I’m regretting not getting that accessory set now 😫
It's a cool set, but a little flimsy and easy to knock over.
Is there discounts on this accessory? I have my droid posted at the entrance of my room so this would sick to pose him like he’s a guard!
It looks soooo freaking awesome!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽✨✨
It does!

The oar is for balance and to keep him up
The dome extender on mine wasn't removable. It's tethered to the dome electronics by a ribbon cable.
Great video as usual Dano. Thanks for all the information. He seems to have top heavy issues.

You have to add the bottom attachment for chopper to use it
That piece wasn’t in existence at the time this video was made. It showed up 6 months later.
Chopper Droid! I want one!
Anybody know the best way to get the middle leg off of the R-series droid? I can't find a button and I'm afraid to force it...
There is a small button. It’s in the middle of the leg it looks the same on both sides but one side does push in.
@@Dan-O Thanks a bunch!
You need to make a video on how you custom painted the droid remote😀
Yes 😇
It's pretty cool! Too bad they didn't use a counter balance to keep it from falling over. Also how cool would it be if it walked? Awesome video!
The leggy boy lives 🦵
Just picked this up for 9.99 at the disney character outlet in orlando
That's Awesome. So... you taking orders?
It's pretty cool, but I was more excited for the new Chopper, tbh.
It does look pretty cool! I was wondering though, does it have screws you can tighten for the joints in the legs?
Can it hold an actual drink on the drinks tray or is there a claw that we can buy that does
Not super impressed by this set. I was more excited about the r5 head making an appearance (I wasn't sure they made that model). Great review video.
Looks OK, but don't like the stability issues. Think I'll skip this one
There's a possibility that the head or extender are wired wrong! Wouldn't have been hard to be clocked one spot off during assembly. I'll need to pick one up. Bought Chopper last time I was there but finances prevented me from splurging.

Can it fit on the c series
Would it work with R4 heads?

The only issue I’ve run into soo far was one arm moving slightly faster than the other.
