We received this incredible Star Wars™-Chewbacca™ Animatronic Interactive Figure from Thinkway Toys to try out and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
Wow, this is such an incredible toy. We’ve been playing with this for the past couple of days and have really enjoyed the results. Chewbacca is one of our very favorite Star Wars characters and he is so cool. The figure is covered in authentic looking hair and then his head is rubbery so that when he moves and vocalizes his mouth moves as well.
There are a bunch of other Star Wars Animatronic Interactive toys from Thinkway Toys. In addition to Chewbacca there is a Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Stormtrooper, and a C-3PO figure as well as remote control toys like R2-D2 and an AT-AT Walker. I know of some friends who also have these toys and are having great times playing with them. Very much like how Andrew is having a great time with Chewbacca. Check out how it looks in this short video.
Andrew obviously enjoys playing with Chewbacca. This is a toy for children 4 and up so he’s a great age for it. He’s particularly excited about when he shouts and gets Chewy to fire his bowcaster. There are many cool ways to interact with the toy. I left the room and he had a conversation with Chewbacca and it was so cute. I see him playing more and more with the toy especially as his excitement over Star Wars grows.
