Battle Droid Star Wars Retro Collection Action Figure | 1:18 Scale | The Phantom Menace
Expand your Trade Federation army with this authentic Battle Droid Star Wars Retro Collection action figure from “The Phantom Menace.” This 3.75-inch figure perfectly captures the mechanical infantry units that formed the backbone of the Separatist forces in the first prequel film. Part of Target’s exclusive six-pack commemorating the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, this figure faithfully recreates the iconic B1 battle droid in the beloved vintage Kenner style that longtime collectors cherish.
The figure features the classic five-point articulation system (swivel neck, two swivel shoulders, and two swivel hips) that defined the original Star Wars toy line, allowing you to pose your droid in various combat stances from the film. Each Battle Droid comes complete with an E-5 blaster rifle accessory that fits perfectly in either hand, enabling you to recreate the droid army’s march on Naboo or their confrontation with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
With its distinctive beige coloring and minimalist paint application, this figure captures the mass-produced aesthetic of the Trade Federation’s mechanical soldiers. The non-removable sculpted backpack adds screen-accurate detail while maintaining the vintage feel that makes the Retro Collection special. The figure stands well on its own, making it ideal for display alongside other figures from the Star Wars Retro Collection.
Whether you’re a longtime collector seeking to build your droid army or a new fan looking to own a piece of Star Wars history, this affordable reproduction delivers the perfect blend of nostalgia and prequel trilogy storytelling.

Character Background
Battle Droids served as the primary infantry units of the Trade Federation’s mechanized army in “The Phantom Menace.” Standing 1.93 meters tall in the Star Wars universe, these mass-produced B1-series droids were designed for overwhelming numbers rather than individual combat prowess. Controlled by a central computer aboard a Droid Control Ship, these mechanical soldiers could be deployed in massive numbers across the battlefield.
Their distinctive vocalization (“Roger, roger”) and awkward, gangly movements became iconic elements of the prequel trilogy. Despite their individual weakness, their sheer numbers made them a formidable threat to the Naboo security forces and even Jedi Knights. The Battle Droids’ design would later evolve throughout the Clone Wars, but this figure captures their original appearance from their debut in Episode I.
Display this iconic foot soldier alongside other figures from the Star Wars Retro Collection to build your own droid army or recreate classic scenes from The Phantom Menace. Multiple figures can be arranged in formation for an impressive army-building display that captures the mechanical might of the Trade Federation.
