BB8 Animatronic to make appearances at SWW?

[k5jm]

Just saw this blurb on an article about how BB8 was made using Sphero technology...
(purely speculation about SWW, but it would make sense!!)

That's right: Sphero is building a BB-8 toy that will work very much like the one we saw on stage; Disney plans to showcase it at Disney World and on the red carpet. While Sphero executives couldn't say anything about its size, availability or pricing, they promised it will be authentic to the movie, following both its mobility and the overall storyline.

The company sphero also plans to have them in a smaller version for Christmas for people across the world. Heard the price may not be that cheap tho.

I will still be all over it! It is soo awesome that JJ did not take the CGI way out and used a real Animatronic prop.
