Windable Droid Toys

These Tin Wind Up Toys are Designed to Look Like Star Wars Characters

Do you remember the tin wind up toys that were popularized in the 1920s? Back when batteries were a thing of the future, tiny toy characters use to have a wind-up mechanism to allow them to move. These eye-catching Star Wars tin wind-up droids ingeniously fuse together the aesthetics of vintage toys with galactic film characters.

These old-school wind-up droids are a fun throwback to the toys our grandparents used to play with back in the day. Each Star Wars character toy comes with an on and off switch and a wind-up key that make them walk. With a curvy design silhouette, these villainous characters are rendered seemingly playful and fun. Star Wars fans can choose between a Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, C-2PO and Stormtrooper design.
