Star Wars: The Force Awakens BB-8 RC.  Star Wars fans young and old will love this new and very unique remote control toy. It moves in a manner that’s different from the average RC device. Just like BB-8, the droid in the new hit Star Wars film, the RC BB-8 rolls like a ball on its spherical body – while the head magnetically stays near the top of the sphere, more or less. This one is sure to be a hit for collectors and remote control lovers alike. For ages 5 and up.
