Star Wars: Droids (toy line)

Kenner created its Star Wars: Droids toy line to coincide with the Star Wars: Droids animated television series, which began airing on ABC in 1985. The cartoon focused on the early adventures of the droid duo C-3PO and R2-D2 prior to the events of the Star Wars original trilogy.

The Droids line released twelve action figures and three vehicles featured in the animated series. The 1986 Kenner catalog previewed nine additional figures for the toy line's second series, but they were never released before the cartoon was canceled. The toys were sold at the same time as the Ewoks toy line based on that animated series, and The Power of the Force line continuing Kenner's film-based toys.

Kenner's Droids line did not sell as well as its Star Wars: Ewoks line, another 1985 toy collection based on an accompanying animated series.

One of the prototype figures originally planned for Kenner's unreleased second series of the Droids line was the character Vlix. Although American collectors had been aware of the prototype figures for years, fans learned in the early 1990s that the Vlix character had actually been produced and released in Brazil by the company. The fan site The Star Wars Collectors Archive declares that this Vlix figure is the rarest of all Star Wars figures to be commercially released and speculates that probably less than a dozen currently exist in American collections.

The table below takes information as given on the cards with which each action figure debuted. After the debut of an action figure, details in the packaging, the shape of the action figure, and the name of the action figure were subject to change. No one characteristic (name, shape, or product number) completely defines the list, rather all the characteristics taken together form a clear list.
