Take control of R2-D2

R2-D2, the plucky little Astromech droid from the Star Wars saga, is now available in a pint-sized version. This six-inch Artoo from Hasbro is ready, willing and able to follow your commands and comes with light and sound effects and a swivelling head.

You don’t need to be a master of moving objects with the Force either – you get a handy remote-control unit for that. Press the switch and Artoo will trundle off. Press it again and he’ll change direction.

The R2-D2 Radio Control Figure is for ages four and up and is priced around £24.99.
