BB-8 "Hero" Droid is made by SpinMaster but this description and picture contradict it. Description says Sphero but the Sphero unit is much smaller than the description that says it's 16" tall which matches the one made by SpinMaster....Can anyone PLEASE shed some light on this before I purchase it? Thanks!

I ordered one on Black Friday and received the smaller Sphero Droid. I called Newegg to exchange it for the Hero Droid and asked them to send the 16" one. I received my replacement last week, but once again, it was the Sphero Droid. I can pretty well guarantee that you'll be getting the Sphero unit as well. This time, I'll be requesting a refund and recommending that "Hero" be removed from the description.
