R5-K6 Astromech Droid Kicks Off Disney Store's New Build-A-Droid Series
Earlier this week, Disney Parks and Disney Store teased a new collectible action figure series inspired by Star Wars. For the first half of 2026, each month will feature a new addition to the Build-A-Droid series from the Droid Factory line, and today marks the debut of R5-K6— an Astromech Droid themed to Star Wars: A New Hope.

What’s Happening:
- Disney Store is kicking off 2026 with a shake-up to its continuity line offerings. For the past several years, Disney released plush, accessories, apparel, Princess castles, or Ear headbands as a monthly series, but this year the focus is on Droids.
- From January to June, collectors can acquire the Build-A-Droid series from the Droid Factory line featuring astromech and protocol droids from, and inspired by fan-favorite films and series like:
- Star Wars: A New Hope
- The Mandalorian
- The Clone Wars
- Each collectible character will also include an additional piece that can be used to create a bonus droid —TC-332— once you have all six sets!
- Today's release is R5-K6 Astromech, an "R5 droid that served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic's Red Squadron during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire."
- The R5-K6 Astromech Droid is available now and sells for $16.99. New releases in the Build-A-Droid Series will arrive at Disney Store on the first Friday of the month at 8 AM PT.
