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.

  • 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.
