The Trade Federation’s invasion of Naboo has begun, and the frontline forces are ready for deployment. Hot Toys is thrilled to expand our Star Wars: The Phantom Menace™ collection by bringing collectors the iconic 1/6th scale Battle Droid™ & STAP™ Collectible Set.

As a staple of the Separatist army, the Battle Droid is a marvel of mass-produced efficiency. This figure captures the droid’s distinct, spindly silhouette, featuring a finely crafted beige mechanical body with intricate weathering effects that suggest a veteran of many skirmishes. Standing approximately 32cm tall with 26 points of articulation, this figure can be posed in a variety of tactical stances — or folded into its compact “transport” mode at approximately 14cm tall.

To ensure it is combat-ready, the Battle Droid is equipped with a pair of hands with articulated fingers. It also comes with the signature E-5 blaster rifle, a set of back-mounted antennas, a comlink booster pack with extendable antennas, and a pair of binoculars for reconnaissance missions.

To dominate the battlefield, this set also includes the STAP™ (Single Trooper Aerial Platform). This highly detailed vehicle captures the rugged, functional aesthetic of the Trade Federation’s patrol craft, complete with expert paint applications and realistic weathering. Designed for speed and agility, the STAP features articulated grips, control platforms, and footrests to perfectly accommodate your Battle Droid figure. It is equipped with an LED light-up function (orange light) in the drive turbines, giving your display a dynamic energy. The vehicle comes complete with a specially designed base for a display that truly takes flight.
