1:18 Action Figure News, Reviews, and Checklists
1:18 Scale Action Figures Droid of the Day
WEG 1618 was part of the Star Tours line of Star Wars Power of the Jedi line from Hasbro in 2002 and also again in a 5 pack in 2008.
This droid has not been released in a while so e-Bay is your best bet. He tends to trend around $10-$15 at the moment.
R.O.B. in Super Famicon colors is from the Super Smash Bros Amiibo line made by Nintendo in 2015. R.O.B. is a typical Amiibo and has no articulation.
R.O.B. is easily available from Amazon or really anywhere you can find Amiibos.
BD-1 was a pack in accessory for Cal Kestis in the Star Wars 6″ Black Series line from Hasbro in 2019.
Cal and BD-1 are still fairly new and can be found in a limited capacity at retail stores or online from Amazon. I have zero interest in 6″ figures so Cal went straight to my shop for sale.
Vertex was part of the second wave of Turbo builder sets in the Fortnite line from Jazwares.
I’m not actually sure if this is a robot or a human in a suit but I have him as a robot so I’m going with that.
Can find him in a lot of retail locations but the set he comes in is currently on sale from Amazon for abut $17.
The Pyronaut was part of the first release by independent toy company Morphonauts.
Morponauts sells on Amazon as well as from their own site. The cool thing about their own site is that they also sell the figure in parts so if you just want the head and torso you can buy them like that.
The Noob Attack – Mech Mobility is one of the new larger 1:18 ish scale figures for the Roblox line made in 2020. I am going to be using this figure mainly as a robot so he qualifies for today’s droid of the day as well.
I picked mine up in store at Target but you can find them on Amazon as well.
“Can you hear the whimpering of fallen pro gamers? Somehow this noob got his hands on a crazy camouflaged mech! I think he knows how to use it! Winning entry in the 2018 Rthro Design Contest. Created by Whimy.”
It looks like a mech. There is even a little Roblox guy in his chest. I plan on using this as just a regular 1:18 robot though and he has a very retro look to it. It looks spot on to the design in the game.
Very little paint is used for this figure. It is mostly silver plastic with some light aqua highlights.
This figure is a little different articulation setup than the rest of the figures due to its mech-ness.
This figure doesn’t have the best accessories. They are okay but not as great as other Roblox figures.
I guess since this is supposed to be a Mech and the little guy in the stomach is the actual figure this is super under scaled. But as a robot it works fine for 1:18.
This figure makes for a great little retro style robot that is reminiscent of the Iron Giant.
The Golden edition of BB-8 from the Star Wars line made by Hasbro as a Walmart exclusive in 2019.
They are still available at Walmart online and in store or can be picked up in the Amazon Marketplace.
These three little Sharkticons came in the Transformers Cyberverse Battle for Cybertron Sharkticons Attack set made by Hasbro in 2020.
I bought my set from Target right off the shelf for $20. Amazon has them in the “Marketplace” for an exorbitant markup ($50 at the time of this post). Hopefully they come down in price when sold by Amazon. I also have the Hotrod that comes with the set for sale in my shop.
Claptrap 4″ Borderlands 3 vinyl figure made by The Coop in 2019. This figure has zero articulation and the 4 inches includes the antenna because the main part of the body is only about 2″-2 1/2″ tall.
I ordered a couple of these from Amazon. I mainly got one for my robot collection and to add to my Fortnite crossover collection.
Skeleton Robot from the Daretoku?! Oretoku!! Dark Side Magic Furniture Series in the Epoch Capsule Collection.
These do pop up on Rakuten from time to time in different colors but eBay will probably be the best place to find them. I may have some in my shop too because I usually try to buy them in bulk to ship from the US.
