The Battle at Echo Base: Probe Droid POP! Deluxe #375 captured one of the most tense moments from The Empire Strikes Back in a compact display piece built for collectors. Suspended above a snowy base, the droid appeared mid-search, with its sensor โeyeโ facing forward and articulated limbs extended as if scanning the icy terrain of Hoth. This release fit seamlessly into Build-A-Scene displays, making it ideal for fans who had been recreating the
2020 Star Wars Battle at Echo Base line on their shelves.
As a 2020 Star Wars POP! Deluxe, this figure featured a larger, more detailed sculpt than a standard POP!, with multiple antennas, sensor pods, and limb joints accurately represented on the dark, matte-finished body. The Probe Droid hovered on a clear support rod above a textured white-and-blue ice base that carried the Star Wars logo on the front. Numbered #375 in the Star Wars POP! line, it came window-boxed for easy display in-box or out, and the Build-A-Scene sticker on the packaging clearly indicated its role within the Echo Base collection.
Within the Star Wars POP! Deluxe range, Battle at Echo Base: Probe Droid stood out as a key piece from the Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back (1980), representing the Imperial reconnaissance that led to the assault on Echo Base. Funkoโs Star Wars POP! line had long focused on screen-accurate moments, and this 2020 Star Wars release tied directly into that approach by recreating a specific scene element rather than just a single character. For collectors building out a dedicated Empire Strikes Back display, it functioned as both a standalone centerpiece and an essential part of the larger
Star Wars POP! Deluxe Echo Base scene.
