Engadget.com reports that Sphero is debuting a new accessory for its BB-8 toy: The Force Band! (I have reviewed the BB-8 toy here.) This watch allows you to control BB-8 with just a gesture of your hand.
The Force Band is scheduled to be released in the fall 2016. The price for the Force Band hasn’t been set yet.

Here’s a demo video of the Force Band:
Here’s one that’s an insight on how the Force Band works:
These 3.75″ action figures included in this builder pack are Captain Phasma, a First Order Tie pilot, a First Order Snowtrooper, a (regular) First Order Stormtrooper, a First Order Flametrooper, a First Order Riot Control Trooper, and a First Order Heavy Artillery Stormtrooper.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally hit the silver screens around the world and already broken box-office records becoming the biggest worldwide opening in theaters! Following the debut of this epic Star Wars film, Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are very excited to officially present the sixth scale collectible figure of one of the main characters from the film – Finn!
Originally trained to serve as a stormtrooper by the First Order, Finn’s conscience has awakened following the skirmish on Jakku, which lead to his encounter with Rey, BB-8, and the Resistance and changes his life forever.
The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of John Boyega as Finn in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt, finely tailored outfit, LED light-up lightsaber, detailed weapons, and a hexagonal figure stand with the Resistance’s emblem.
Here are photos of this new (single) 1/6th scaled figure:
You may remember a scene from The Force Awakens when Finn was fighting against a First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper who called him a traitor. Finn fights him with Anakin’s (Luke’s) lightsaber that was thought to have been lost after Luke’s fight with Vader on the Cloud City.
The highly-accurate Finn sixth scale collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of John Boyega in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt, finely tailored outfit, LED light-up lightsaber, detailed weapons, and a hexagonal figure stand with the Resistance’s emblem.
The First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper is equipped with sleekly designed Stormtrooper armor and helmet, the iconic baton, a riot shield, blaster rifle, and a hexagonal figure stand with the First Order’s emblem.

Sphero BB-8 Toy app update adds new animated responses!
Sphero has updated the BB-8 app this week with 4 brand new animated responses in the drive mode and some updates for the other modes in the app (version 1.0.6)!
Here are the new responses:
Frustration.
Anger.
Joy.
Wobble. The response is not the official name but that’s what I am calling it since I saw BB-8 wobble like that in the Flacon.
Other changes in the app include:
New movie-true BB-8 sounds!
Added ability to turn off music in settings
Added ability to use the rear facing camera to record a hologram
Improved stability on certain devices
Here is a screen shot photo of these new animated responses in the drive mode:
