It’s time for a toy teardown! Adam and Norm take apart the new Star Wars L0-LA59 Animatronic robot from Hasbro to try and understand how this animated droid works. What we find inside is an impressive amount of engineering and toy design that packs a complex movement mechanism inside its chassis!

I would love to put that back together, however I would definitely make some mods. Would be cool with like a makers kit to like kit out drones or like fancy Arduino starter kits in this style
Esta explanaรงรฃo da peรงa totalmente explodida รฉ uma รณtima referรชncia para futuros reparos caso necessรกrio. Grato pelo tutorial.
Only lucasfilm could sell you a moving recalled carbon monoxide detector. Yep, thats what it started as.
They had to make it larger because the wing can come off and get lodged in a kids throat. Theres a lot of dead space inside of there.
could we make the legs moving with motors and controller … make LO-LA59 look like a real robot …?!
I loved the video. So after looking at this do you feel it could be made smaller? Do you feel if it was made from a stronger material or a light weight metal that it could be cut to maybe 3/4 the size?
I'd like to see someone make a toy version of a Treadwell droid using Arduino ultrasonic kit. Like the one on the Mando series.
I really wanna take one apart and put some kind of smart home device inside
This design is so much more complex than anything I imagined to see in a "simple" toy. I guess I can see now why these Lolas were so expensive on launch. Good thing they're always on clearance (probably didn't sell too well for $85)
I'm interested in taking apart my Command and Convert Optimus Primal and making it non animatronic, but the inside looked rather complex. I wonder if Adam could take a look at that product?
Can Adam Savage actually tell us how to turn one of these things off without removing the battery?
If you like this check out – James May: The Reassembler
I believe that the original Furby and perhaps the later ones also operated with just one motor and a complex gearing and cam system in order to move the ears, eye lids mouth and body motion. I just bought a Lo-La59 and am even more impressed with its actions. I still think it should have a Bluetooth system to communicate with the other Disney Star Wars droids.
Not going to take mine apart. But I am sure this thing has no working mic. It is not interactive. It just does a routine. Clap talk at it. its all random if it happens to respond to you. That said it does a wonderful magic trick. Great engineering.
Thank you for taking this apart so I didn't have to :D Now, can we fit servos, cameras and sensors to make LO-LA smarter? ๐ค
I will say if that's the most impressive thing you have seen animatronic wise Star Wars you obviously haven't seen the proper animatronic toys that you can get of kylo Ren and Darth Vader 32 points of articulation 50 different phrases body movement arm movement battles with lightsabers Lola is you know call lovie but definitely not the best animatronic Star Wars toy you can get for sure
Now put it all back together and make it work again
these are $15 at walmart right now. Go nuts
that capacitor looking thing is actually a thermistor, its basically resettable fuse , a must in all kids toys, there is probably also a diode in case someone put the batteries the wrong way
When I was little, the first thing I did when I got a new toy, was take it apart, just like this, to See how it Worked and How it was Made. It's Great to know I wasn't the Only One who did this.
This is great engineering. I can see why the toy retailed for $90 at release; I just picked it up on clearance for $40. It is adorable.
Also, did Adam misspeak at 25:26? This toy is 1:1 scale, it is not larger than the filming prop.
This would be great to convert into the alien ships from Batteries Not Included.
Wow. Beautiful mechanics and such cool little toy. I honestly want to learn watch making now.
So she's currently around 64% off on UK and US Amazon, so I had to get her for my Mando cosplay!
I'm really happy with her, and delighted at seeing how excited Adam got taking her apart, but I am a little confused about your chat on scale? The box advertises it as 1:1 scale, but Norm suggests it's as much as 50% bigger? That really confused me, but it certainly does look a little bigger, as the prop one fit in kid Leia's hand and this one barely fits in my adult hand. Just seems odd that they'd market it as such.
Anyway, very happy with her, just hoping I can easily swap out the LED's for different colours, and potentially install a more accessible on/off and audio/silent buttons for it.
Wow. You actually took a break from your insane screaming about how evil Republicans are ???
My sisters got this for their birthday and they've loved it!
I found that you can turn it off by turning it upside down and then back. It automatically turns off.
You answered my question – different stand activates different modes (switches)- cool!
If your kids ask if they can have one..just show them this video and tell them " Can't.. Adam killed it." ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
These are on sale right now. Got one today because I've been wanting to make one, and I can't go build build one at the Droid Depot in Galaxy's Edge. Thinking about painting it.
Thanks for this video. There was a screw I forgot to label and this saved me. Interestingly enough, I was also having trouble separating the "wings" by sheer luck, I found out that it can just pop off right off of that springed, plastic bracket. After that, the main internals came off the top body easily. It was way easier than unscrewing it all while constrained in the body. โคโค
I see Grant as a force ghost , watching them. He could have probably put it back together with his eyes closed
Axel
Imagine being the engineering team that worked so hard on making this toy, which would normally go unnoticed, and having Adam being the one to tear it down and being giddy over its design.
Also, I would LOVE a Weebo like this haha.
I said at the 30 minute mark you guys have 4 minutes to put it back together! Hahaha! ๐ ๐คฃ
Now you have to do a video putting it back together!!
How many parts do you think they had left over after they put L0-LA back together?
