Disney Stores and Disney Parks are offering a new line of exclusive Star Wars Droid Factory – Build-A-Droid Series figures. This is a monthly item available on the first Friday of every month, so one new droid will be released from January to June 2026. This month’s product is the R5-K6 astromech droid from 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In the film, R5-K6 teams up with Red Leader Garven Drais in a T-65B X-wing starfighter as part of a mission to obtain plans for the Death Star on the planet Scarif. The droid also appeared in 1977’s Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In this film, R5-K6 once again partnered with Drais as part of the force attacking the Death Star, engaging enemy TIE fighters while Gold Squadron’s Y-wing assault starfighters/bombers attempted to exploit the weakness in the thermal exhaust ports that the Rebel Alliance had learned from the Death Star program. After Gold Squadron was nearly destroyed, R5-K6 and Drais independently attacked the port, but were unable to hit their target. The team was killed by Darth Vader when his X-wing starfighter was destroyed.
Thank you to the Disney Store for sending me the Star Wars R5-K6 Droid Factory – Build-A-Droid Series figure for review.
Release date: January 2, 2026
R5-K6 is packaged on a standard Droid Factory blister card with his image on the front, artwork and logos on both sides, and the back includes a description, component breakdown, and a look at this wave’s assembled figure, TC-332. R5-K6 includes the torso of TC-332, and the other droid figures include heads, arms, and legs. A collector card with an image of R5-K6 on the front and a description on the back is also included.
R5-K6 is an astromech droid primarily composed of red, black, silver, and gray, with detailed sculpting and paint throughout his body. He has arms on his chest that are sculpted and painted gray, but they cannot be lifted and used as seen on other figures such as R2-D2.
The head sculpt is dome-shaped with three primary photoreceptors and a radar eye.
The front legs are removable, allowing for two-legged or three-legged poses.
Articulation is limited but standard for astromech droids, including a swivel head, 2x swivel legs, and 2x hinged ankles. The lower legs have no joints.
A TC-332 body based on metallic blue and black is included.
Overall, R5-K6 is an excellent astromech droid that pairs well with Droid Factory and Vintage Collection’s 3 3/4-inch figure offerings. The attention to detail and attention to detail is amazing and it looks great on the shelf. Get yours now at the Disney Store (already sold out) and Disney Parks.
