R2-D2 Inspired Products


Movie and DVD website NextMovie has a fun blog post about the Strangest R2D2-inspired products:
If only toys were the limit. Nearly every character in the 1977 film has a cottage industry of product surrounding them. But we’ve always been partial to R2D2, the diminutive robotic friend of Luke Skywalker, and the myriad products he’s inspired.
The post has some great pictures of an R2-D2 Soy Sauce Dispenser, Fish Tank, Projection Clock and more.  Check out the post here - you'll be surprised at some of the stuff they made!

Pictured in this post, a UK Star Wars Bath Bubbles from 1977, courtesy of Empirestrikesbath.com.  It is truly amazing how far Star Wars licensing went.  What's the craziest Star Wars Merchandising you've seen?

    I thought you were not supposed to put electrical items in the bath? This toy promotes suicide!
