Coming from a galaxy far, far away, Zavvi are thrilled to introduce to you BB-8^TM by Sphero. Bring the Force of Star Wars^TM into your own home with this ingenious app-enabled Droid^TM, whose technologically advanced construction gives BB-8 breakthrough movement and the ability to develop a unique personality through interaction with you, its owner. Zavvi can assure you that BB-8 is the Droid you're looking for.

Developed by Sphero who created the full-sized model you will see in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, BB-8 features revolutionary robotic movement and an adaptive personality that evolves over the time you spend with your Droid. With iOS and Android apps ready to go in the Apple and Play Stores, you can control your BB-8 with your smartphone, tablet or even using your voice.

"I've got a very bad feeling about this", I hear you say. And you will need to be on your guard with BB-8, whose advanced intelligence means it is capable of behaving autonomously to explore the galaxy around it. The Droid includes an automatic 'Patrol' mode which sees BB-8 roam around your home or garden by itself, and the Droid also allows you to record and replay holographic recordings.

Yet the Sphero BB-8 is not a toy; it is an accomplice, a comrade and a companion, whose unique personality, actions and behaviour develop as a result of your interaction with the Droid. In addition to hours of fun and an exceptional inside look at one of Star Wars: The Force Awakens' most lovable characters, BB-8 offers you an engaging personality, outstanding agility and the must-have gift this year for Star Wars fans.

Now with Brand New Features: A brand new software update from Sphero transforms your BB-8 into the ultimate Star Wars: The Force Awakens viewing companion. This cool new feature sees BB-8 demonstrate a full range of reactions when he sits down beside you to watch the latest release from the Star Wars canon.

When BB-8 sees a familiar friendly face in the film, such as his own or Han Solo's, he will whir with excitement, but when he hears the voice of Kylo Ren he will shy away in fear. BB-8's reactions to the film are sure to bring the film to life at home, and make him an invaluable viewing buddy for enjoying the film at home.

Sphero have also indicated they are working on similar software updates, meaning you can rest assured your BB-8 will continue to amaze and entertain long into the future.
