Anakin Skywalker’s iconic homemade Protocol Droid seems to have lost his head, but we found it in Walt Disney World! The C-3PO premium electronic head is now available to purchase at the parks.
We previously reported this C-3PO replica head would be on the way to the parks and the Disney Store online. We also spotted it last week at Disneyland Resort. We found the head available at Mission: SPACE Cargo Bay in EPCOT.
C-3PO Premium Electronic Head – $119.99
C-3PO’s cranium is 1:1 scale with the on-screen droid. The head is gold with two bulb-eyes behind metal grates.
The electronic replica can recite over twenty memorable phrases from the “Star Wars” saga. His eyes also light up.
The gold plating can be removed from the head to reveal the wiring and mechanics inside C-3PO, reminiscent of his appearance in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.” One of these wires can be moved to bypass C-3PO’s protocol and allow him to translate forbidden Sith secrets like in “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.”
While in this mode, his eyes will glow red instead of the usual yellow. The display model we spotted was in this mode, so his eyes were red.
The product box categorizes the head as part of the Galactic Archive Series line of merchandise. Other products in this series include the Dejarik Board Game and the D23-exclusive Kylo Ren Reforged Helmet.
The back side of the box points out various features on the head, such as the light features and voice lines. It also pictures how the gold plating can be removed.
The box also describes the background for the Galactic Archive Series and a brief biography of C-3PO.
Programmed for etiquette and protocol, Threepio was built by a young Anakin Skywalker, and has been a constant companion to astromech R2-D2. Fluent in over six million forms of communication, C-3PO has been involved in some of the galaxy’s most defining moments and thrilling battles.
This replica head will be available on DisneyStore.com starting October 16. It will be a limited-edition collectible with only 3,720 being sold.
