R2-D2 has been a toy for as long as there have been Star Wars toys. Kenner’s first R2-D2 figure came out in 1978, and the same year Kenner made a radio controlled R2 you could drive around the house. Since then he’s been a Hasbro action figure for more than 30 years, an app-controlled robot and even a 3.5-foot Christmas decoration.
This list has 122 R2-D2 toys: every interactive and remote control R2 we’ve found, from Kenner, Hasbro, Sphero, Thinkway, Tomy, Disney and others, every vintage Kenner R2-D2, every R2-D2 action figure Kenner and Hasbro have made since 1995 (single figures, two-packs, battle packs and exclusives), and the brick-built LEGO R2s, with the year and original price where it’s known.

How many R2-D2 toys are there?
Nobody can count every R2-D2 toy, because he’s appeared on thousands of products, from plush toys to Funko Pops. This list counts 122: 15 interactive and remote control R2s, 6 vintage Kenner R2-D2s, 98 Kenner and Hasbro R2-D2 figure releases from 1995 to 2027 and 3 large LEGO R2-D2s. It doesn’t include plush, Funko, Hallmark ornaments, model kits, the simplified R2s that came fixed into X-wings and Jedi starfighters, or preschool and younger kids’ lines (Hasbro’s Galactic Heroes, Playskool, Mission Fleet and Micro Force, and Mattel’s Imaginext). Sixth-scale R2s are in the Hot Toys checklist, and Disney’s R2 units are in the Droid Factory checklist.
Interactive and remote control R2-D2 toys
These are the R2s that move, talk back or roll around the room, in release order.
Kenner Radio Controlled R2-D2 (1978)
Kenner’s Radio Controlled R2-D2 was one of the first electronic Star Wars toys, and reporters singled it out as a hot new toy at the 1978 Toy Fair. You drove him from a remote with a wire antenna, and Kenner’s box lists his three tricks: his chromed head turns, his red eye lights up and he makes electronic beeping sounds.
It was expensive for its day. The suggested price was $25.99, but some shops charged $34.99 that Christmas, as much as Kenner’s Millennium Falcon. Kenner later sold it with an “Exclusive Adventure Obstacle Set”, a play mat to drive him around, and very few of that version have turned up.
- Released: 1978
- Suggested price: $25.99
- Controls: Radio remote with a wire antenna
Hasbro R2-D2 Interactive Astromech Droid (2002)
Hasbro’s Interactive Astromech Droid is a 15-inch R2-D2 with speech recognition, an infrared location sensor and sonar navigation, so he responds to your voice and finds his way around a room. He has songs, games, tricks and sound effects built in, plays Princess Leia’s message from the first film, works as an alarm system and has a retractable arm that holds a 12-ounce drink can.
He made his debut at Toy Fair in February 2002 and went on sale on 10 September 2002, for children 8 and up.
- Released: 10 September 2002
- Original price: About $98 to $115, depending on the shop
- Size: 15 inches tall
- Batteries: Four AA and four D, not included
Hasbro Smart R2-D2 (2016)
The Smart R2-D2 is an app-controlled R2 that Hasbro sold as a Walmart exclusive. You drive him in any direction from a phone or tablet over Bluetooth, send him on missions and program routes, and he plays music, dances and makes droid sounds.
Hasbro only promised the app until 30 June 2018, so check that one still works before you buy.
- Released: 2016
- Sold at: Walmart (exclusive)
- Hasbro number: B7493
- Batteries: Four AA, not included
Hasbro The Last Jedi Smart R2-D2 (2017)
Hasbro brought the Smart R2-D2 back for The Last Jedi with the same features: app-controlled driving in any direction, missions, music and dancing. It used the same Hasbro Smart R2-D2 app, which was also only promised until 30 June 2018.
- Released: 2017
- Hasbro number: C1410
- Batteries: Four AA, not included
Sphero R2-D2 (2017)
Sphero, the company behind the app-controlled BB-8, announced its R2-D2 on 31 August 2017 and put it on sale the next day, Force Friday II. You control him from a smartphone app, and unlike Hasbro’s 2002 R2 he has no voice control.
Sphero stopped making its Star Wars droids in December 2018, so the R2-D2 is now only found second hand.
- Released: 1 September 2017
- Original price: $179.99
- Controls: Smartphone app
Home Depot 3.5 ft Animated LED R2-D2 (2025)
The biggest R2-D2 on the list isn’t from a toy company at all. Home Depot added a 3.5-foot animated R2-D2 to its holiday decorations in September 2025, priced at $299. Servo motors turn his head and move him forward and back, his head lights up, and he plays five sound effects. It sold out within minutes of every restock that November.
It’s close to the size of the R2-D2 in the films, which is why it’s often called life-size, and on eBay it has sold for two to three times the store price.
- Released: September 2025
- Original price: $299
- Size: 3.5 feet tall
- Sold at: Home Depot

Every vintage Kenner R2-D2 (1978 to 1985)
Kenner made three carded R2-D2 figures for the original line, plus a 12-inch R2, a buildable R2 for the Droid Factory playset and a Droids cartoon R2. All of the 3.75-inch figures are in the vintage Star Wars figures checklist.
Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2), 1978
Kenner’s first R2-D2 was one of the original 12 Star Wars figures of 1978. He came with no accessories, and his dome clicks as it turns. Kenner dropped the earlier R2-D2s when the updated versions came out, which is one reason you’ll see the vintage line counted as both 93 and 96 figures.
The photo is of the R2-D2 from my own collection of all 96 vintage figures.
- Released: 1978
- Kenner number: 38200
Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) with Sensorscope, 1982

Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) with Pop-Up Lightsaber, 1985
The last vintage R2-D2 came in 1985 on a Power of the Force card, with a collector’s coin and a green lightsaber that pops up out of his dome, just as he launches Luke’s lightsaber at Jabba’s sail barge in Return of the Jedi.
- Released: 1985
- Kenner number: 93720

The vintage Kenner figures. A carded 1978 R2-D2 has averaged over $1,000 in recent eBay sales, and the 1985 R2-D2 with Pop-Up Lightsaber has sold for close to $1,000 both carded and loose. Of the newer toys, the 2025 Home Depot R2-D2 has resold for two to three times its $299 price. Average selling prices are from recent eBay sales, checked on 31 October 2026.
