M.A.M.M.A. : Droid of the Day – #94

M.A.M.M.A. aka “Music and Mood Management Apparatus” was introduced in the late 70s to the Muppet Show. It’s supposed to have been a backup singer for Kermit in some singing number.

After seeing the figure and liking it a lot because it looks much like an Astromech. I ordered one off Ebay not knowing this size or scale. It is a little on the larger side than expected but not un-usable in a 1:18 collection. It comes in a 2 pack with Dr. Julius Strangepork. Which I have some custom plans for him.

Bucket (R1-J5) : Droid of the Day – 02/28/2020

“A battered, decrepit old droid addled by outdated, glitching programming, Bucket has been Jarek Yeager’s loyal astromech for years. Despite the droid’s eccentric behavior, Bucket is a capable mechanic.” – Databank entry

Bucket shows how cool an astromech droid would look without it’s fancy shell.

This figure came in a 2 Pack with Jarek Yeager as part of the Star Wars Resistance line made by Hasbro in 2019.

Still available from Amazon and probably easily obtainable from stores like ROSS or 5Below.

Jax Beastbot : Droid of the Day – 02/03/2020

Jax Beastbot is weird astromech like rabbit thing part of the Power Ranger’s Beast Morphers line made by Hasbro in 2019. It is actually part of a 6″ scaled line but is about the same size as a Star Wars Astromech Droid.

Readily available in most retail stores still. I got mine at Target. Amazon is another easy way to pick this little droid up for about $8-$9 or in a set with a 6″ Yellow Ranger for about $13.

BB-9E : Droid of the Day – 1/26/2020

BB-9E is from Star Wars The Last Jedi. Basically an Imperial version of BB-8. BB-9E comes in a multi set with Rose Tico in Imperial disguise and BB-8.

This set can be found pretty cheap still. Amazon has it for about $8 at the time of this post.
