At long last fanboys (and fangurls) everywhere can not only own their own robot, but they can own an authentic Star Wars robot:

R2-D2 Interactive Astromech Droid

“Direct from Industrial Automaton comes this scaled down version of the Astromech droid made famous by the documentaries collectively known on Earth as “Star Wars.” This little R2 unit is ready to obey your commands – voice commands, that is! Just like the larger version of R2 you know from the flickers, this R2 needs nothing but some tender words and he’ll do what you command.

Without a doubt, this has to be the coolest Star Wars toy ever created. Artoo really will listen. You can talk to him and he’ll chirp back. You can ask him about different characters and he’ll have amusing reactions. Artoo will even play games with you (Spin the Droid is our favorite!) He’ll guard your room; let you plot a course for him to execute; carry your Juri juice around; and if you are really lucky, he’ll play a message for you from a certain Princess.”
