Product Description

Star Wars - or 'the franchise' as it's known among the aficionado - is one heck of a machine, even for those of us who think we know a thing or two about tie-ins, merchandising and gadgetry. It's a full thirty years since the childhood-defining movie went into hyperspace (you may count the years if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it) and, let me tell you, we're still amazed by the ingenuity and quality of the industry that's grown up alongside it. Take for example this delightful remote-controlled R2-D2. This remote-controlled R2-D2 figure is ready for adventure. Send your plucky astromech droid on exciting missions to save the galaxy (or to shut the fridge door, as the case may be). Press the switch to send him forward - then press it again to change direction. Featuring sounds and light, this space-age sidekick is just like the popular character from the Star Wars saga - right down to his swiveling head.

Cracking toy!
My wife and I gave our 5 year old this for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! It does exactly what it says on the tin. It's an R2D2 that you can control remotely! It's very well made being nice and solid and has happily taken a mauling from my 1 year old daughter and still works a treat.

The inner geek in me absolutely loves how realistic it is. R2 beeps and chirps exactly as he does in the films and the controls allow me to mimic R2's movements perfectly. I have to say I've had many a go on this after the kids are in bed and I love it too!

I'm just waiting for a whole range of remote control astromech droids to come out. I'd be buying them for sure!

Bottom line- Don't think about it, just buy it!
