And will there be an action figure? All the other characters seem to have one.

Hiro Hamada's tiny two-faced robot was called Megabot. Its modular design made it very flexible and distinctive.
As to whether or why there isn't an action figure, perhaps Disney didn't think Megabot was distinctive enough or interesting enough to create one.
Generally, toy manufacturing is an expensive business and the ten most popular main characters seem to have gotten an extensive treatment. I imagine if enough requests are made for them, Disney will be only too happy to comply if they can make money producing them in volume.

Thanks and I think Megabot would make a great action figure/toy or alarm clock as a full scale creation. The other characters would be impossible to create and market full scale. Megabot would be a snap to put into a kid's or a young mind's hands. Commented Mar 30, 2015 at 17:09

Of course Disney now owns Star Wars, a franchise that believes no character is too minor or insignificant to not have their own action figure... Commented Jan 24, 2016 at 19:22

@razethestray Star Wars has such a huge fan base that it makes financial sense to do that. Commented Feb 7, 2017 at 3:27
