New General Leia Action Figure Available For Pre-Order; New Droid Factory Toys Reveal BB-4.
Amidst all the headlines about Force Friday II, one story managed to quietly slip by – Disney has opened up online pre-orders for the General Leia action figure for The Last Jedi. Also, get a good look at the newest additions to the Droid Factory toy line – which features another BB unit that might appear in the Sequel Trilogy.
With all of the flurry of Force Friday II announcements, a couple of Disney Parks exclusives have popped up quietly on our radar. The first toy version of Carrie Fisher from The Last Jedi, General Leia Organa, is available for pre-order from the Disney Store. Featuring the beloved character in the same dark-robed outfit glimpsed in the trailer and BTS reel, this 3.75″ action figure is a much improved likeness over the General Leia figure made for The Force Awakens. You can pre-order the leader of the Resistance fighters here.
In addition, several new droids from The Last Jedi will soon be immortalized in plastic with the rollout of two new Droid Factory packs. The first is a 2-pack of 3.75″ figures which we don’t have much intel on at this point – green and white Astromech droids R4-X2 and Y5-X2. The second Droid Factory set is the rumored BB unit collection. Everyone’s favorite orange and white scene-stealer from The Force Awakens is joined by three other similar droids: the blue and green 2BB-2, the ivory and lime BB-4, and the black and silver BB-9E. The Droid Factory 2-pack and 4-pack are supposedly available at the Disney theme parks, but so far do not seem available for pre-order on the Disney Store website. Yet.
Thanks to Jedi Temple Archives for the latter find.

Might have to get that.
I want that General Leia figure NOW! And those new BB units look pretty impressive as well. Hope that the Droid Factory packs are available online soon and we don’t have to rely on ebay to buy them. Overall, as far as the 3.75″ action figures, I’m much more impressed with the quality of The Last Jedi line over The Force Awakens. Hope Hasbro and Disney go back to TFA at some point and give us some of the aliens, pilots, droids, etc. that haven’t been produced yet (Maz’s castle patrons, holographic Snoke, General Leia, Lt. Connix, Wollivan, etc.)
Someone do a side by side with the Power of the Force figure and this one. I NEED this.
Just got done with all myf force Friday shopping and got evrything I wanted. Jedi master Luke Jedi training Rey kylo ren figures. A bb9e pop on clearance and s Snoke pop. Also cool vintage looking last Jedi shirt with all the characters on it
That’s a great Leia figure, looks better than the Black Series General Leia one.
AMAZING FIGURE AND I PRAY SHE USES THAT BLASTER IN THE FILM !!!!!!!
Will he be the one to replace Kenneth Michael Williams ?
I love this look for Leia. She’s both elegant and beautiful, but also super fierce, powerful and strong! She was great in TFA but I can tell she is going to shine in this one. Hope we see her using that blaster!
I have a feeling that Fisher and Adam Driver will be the standouts in TLJ (in terms of their performances in context to what Johnson wrote for their characters). It’s going to make us miss Fisher (and Leia) even more.
What a great job they did with her face! It’s like a perfect mix of the young Leia and the mature Leia. Plus, great look on the outfit. I’m getting this!
These small Hasbro figures are usually so crappy, but I gotta say this new Leia looks really good and I can’t wait to get one! Still missing our girl, Carrie. Ep 8 is sure gonna be hard to watch, but also great to see her on screen one last time <3
