I saw this item (it is not a toy, it is a real Droid!) at a recent event and basked the PR team for a review sample. This is another must have item for my Holiday Gift Guide!
There are a lot of nice toys coming out for the new Star Wars movie. And this is one of the best. Not a Droid toy, or a plush to play with, but a real interactive robot like R2 D2! It is right out of the first movie (first for me growing up, 4th in the series!), with Princess Leia projected onto the wall!

I am like a big kid with these toys! And my 12 year old son loves them as well. We have already discussed our Halloween pranks with these remote control Star Wars toys, when the door bell rings with trick or treaters, one if us will open it and hide behind it. The other will be hiding around a corner and we will send R2 D2 or the AT At to the door to great the kids! They go for treats, we are pulling of a trick! Now if only we had been home when they rang the bell!
And here is our little homemade video, my son could not wait to grab R2 as soon as it was done so he could keep him in his room!
Disclosure: I am highlighting some of the fun items I saw at Time to Play Magazine’s bi-annual toy show. At my request I was sent the above samples. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.
Super cool!
