Interactive R2-D2 Astromech Droid
If you a Star Wars fan you are going to love this toy! Hasbro has produced a 15" tall R2-D2 that responds to voice commands. This lens describes the features of the droid, what R2 is capable of doing and where you can pick one up. I will also be including some R2-D2 Easter eggs. If you don't what this means you can learn about them at the very bottom of the lens.
To really get an understanding of how cool this R2-D2 toy is you need to see it in action. You will find a few vids in this lens that have some great demonstration material. This is not your typical toy and won't be one that is opened and quickly put aside.
This toy has sold very well in our Past Generation Toys store and we have received several comments on how much fun the R2-D2 really is! It makes a great birthday gift and/or addition to any Star Wars collection!
Another great product from Hasbro

R2-D2 Interactive Droid Product Information
What you need to know about this amazing toy
In the hundred-year history of science fiction films, only one robot can truly be called a movie star, and that's R2-D2 of "Star Wars". Celebrate R2's big 30th birthday next year by bringing the droid into your home now. Charming and affable, he will serve as your dedicated helper (an extendable utility arm holds a drink) and loyal friend. He obeys commands, communicates with beeps and whistles, gestures, flashes his lights, swivels his dome, dances to a cantina song, plays games and navigates with sonar and infrared sensors.
Voice activated, R2 functions in three modes: Companion, where he's friendly; Game, where he plays tag, spins and dances; and Command, where he maneuvers in different directions. He recognizes 30 phrases and responds to your voice commands. He'll react differently when you mention Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Jabba the Hut or his best friend, C-3PO. For example, say Princess Leia's name and R2 emits excited wolf-like whistles, but mention Darth Vader and he shakes with fear!
