We were amazed when a non-CGI, working model of the BB-8 droid rolled on stage at the Star Wars Celebration last week.
With a head magnetically floating atop its rolling body, it certainly made our old favourite R2-D2 look a bit dated.
Now the toy company behind Sphero has confirmed we'll be able to buy a working model of this little character.
A landing page on the company's website proclaims: "This is the droid you're looking for", and clearly shows the outline of BB-8.
If you want to be the first to know when the toy becomes available, you can enter your email address on Sphero's website.
Or if you just can't wait, perhaps you can create your own like one eager fan.
