Mouse Droid might be basic on the performance front but its the droid you’ll want

Never playing a major part on-screen but memorable as background droids you’ll recall scurried about at speed, almost headless chicken-esque but they performed a pivotal role. You see the MSE-6 did plenty, undertaking repairs, delivering messages and acting as guides aboard starships and before long were used across the galaxy by everyone from the Republic and the Rebel Alliance to the criminal underworld extending their skillset to carrying important messages and even a bit of spying.  This R/C unit is of collector-grade, a reproduction that features movie-accurate design details, lights and sound effects and is part of the Hasbro Star Wars: Galactic Archive Series. Am hard pushed to settle for ownership of just a single unit, I’m after a pair for a real show of scuttling about on our office floor. Big demand at The Disney Store (£90) has led to reseller listings of £200+, just use the force and you’ll be able to bag one just fine (ever the optimist).
