Micro-sized R2 Unit Provides a Cure for the Blues

While too small to actually repair an X-Wing starfighter, this little R2 droid is programmed to raise your spirits.

Using the wireless lightsaber-shaped remote control, you can make this little guy roll around the room, all the while beeping happily. It can turn or go in a circle and its head moves back-and-forth as it tools around. While rather ungainly on carpeting, primarily due to its diminutive size, it moves quite well on a wooden floor or a desktop.

There are two different models-one the little droid that we all know and love. The other is a "R4" unit, which is red and white. You may remember him as the droid that blew its gasket shortly after Luke purchased him from the Jawas...

I have the R4 model. It freaks my cat clear out...
