Starting Tuesday, November 17, all three Batuu Adventure Buddies go on sale at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That means guests can choose an Ewok, a Huttlet or Grogu on both coasts, and Walt Disney World guests will need a spot in a virtual queue to get one.

The customizable, interactive toys feature LCD eyes, facial expressions, and a mix of sounds.
The Ewok has been the only Buddy on the shelf since it debuted at Disneyland’s Droid Depot on August 13. The Huttlet and Grogu join it on Life Day, the Wookiee holiday Star Wars fans mark on November 17.
How The Hollywood Studios Virtual Queue Works
Florida guests will need valid theme park admission to join. Requests open at 7 a.m. Eastern in the My Disney Experience app, with a second chance at 1 p.m. Eastern once you have entered Hollywood Studios. Parties are limited to two guests, both linked in the app, and both are eligible to buy.
There is no standby line while the virtual queue is running, though Disney says one may open after every boarding group has been called. A boarding group does not guarantee a purchase, so it is possible to get called and still miss out if supply runs short.
Disney has not announced a virtual queue for Disneyland, where the Ewok has been selling through Droid Depot’s regular line since August.
What The Buddies Do
Each Buddy has LCD eyes, motorized facial expressions and a mix of sounds, from giggles and laughs to chatter in its own language. Tap patterns trigger different reactions. Triple-tap the Ewok’s head for an Endor dance party with chanting and drumming, or double-tap Grogu’s belly after feeding him and he lets out a burp and a content sigh. The Huttlet gives a deep Huttese laugh and, on a triple head tap, a grin with coin animations in its eyes.
The Buddies also react to each other. A double belly tap on the Ewok near other Buddies sends out a scout call, and nearby toys answer in their own languages. They can interact with other droids sold inside Droid Depot as well.
Gear Sets Cost Extra
Three gear sets are sold separately, and the pieces connect to each Buddy’s left hand to trigger their own animations and sounds. The Endor Gear Set has a spear, horn, grilled fish and an Endor issue poncho. The Mandalore Gear Set has a Mythosaur axe, nummies, beskar chest armor and a shoulder cape. The Batuu Gear Set has a YT-1300 freighter model, all-kit tool, ronto wrap and a Bantuuan poncho.
Disney has not posted prices for the Buddies or the gear sets yet. Shopping starts at a dedicated wall bay inside Droid Depot, where a cast member helps you pick a companion and accessories before an activation moment brings it to life for the first time.
Disneyland’s Droid Depot has been busy this year, with three animatronic Anzellan droidsmiths in the works for the shop. Disney’s full rundown of the toys and the virtual queue rules is on the Disney Parks Blog.
