What time is it? Half past Artoo.

R2D2 radio control watchIf you've got a kid with a big love for gadgets, Star Wars, and having cooler things than other kids in the class, we think we've found the perfect thing.

 

The R2-D2 watch is no mere digital wristwatch, it's got radio control powers too, that can be used to control a tiny little R2-D2 toy. Unfortunately you can't use the (RC) force to turn Artoo to the dark side, but you can make him walk a straight line or spin in a little circle and change direction. Sorry, no holographic projector.

When you're not using him, the droid clips to your keychain or presumably, a backpack. But don't let him out in the elements for long. We all knows what can happen then. -Liz

My boys love anything Star Wars. Birthdays and Christmas - might be just the ticket!
