The holographic AR messaging, automatic robotic mode and the cute mannerisms of BB-8 made our first impression of this little droid an overwhelmingly good one, and now the addition of the Force Band has only made us fall more deeply in love with the littl...

Feel the Force, Luke, All the same great augmented app fun as the original, Plays nicely with other Sphero kit
Tougher to master than landing a bullseye on a womp rat, Force Band feels pretty cheap
Everything about this special edition BB-8 is well thought-out, from the extra paint details, to the matching Force Band, to the app's cutesy animations and added-value item hunts. It's not quite the same as being encased in carbonite, but the chunky met...

It's just like the one from the film, but smaller!, Android and iOS support, Wide selection of modes
Steep learning curve, Limited battery life, Fairly pricey for a toy

Abstract: Forget CES's internet fridges, self-driving cars and smart bras, the coolest thing this year has to be the Force Band, which allows you to pretend you're a Jedi and control a mini version of BB-8 using nothing but your wrist ... and a cheap-looking plasti...
Abstract: Is this the droid you're looking for? Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens is gearing up for its launch in December, and there's already a glut of merchandise out for the new movie, including what you could say is the successor to the fairly cute dr...
Simple controls, Easy to set up, Cool augmented reality messages
No level-up mode, Voice recognition is poor
As balls go, the BB-8 would easily reign triumphant in a Stuff Top 10 When you strip away its lights, high-pitched chirps and Star Wars regalia, the BB-8 is essentially a ball that you roll around with your smartphone. One that costs £130, which is £40 m...
