• Tap him on the head too hard and he'll make an annoyed whistle and back away. Ask him if he remembers Darth Vader and he'll cower in fear. He is one of the most decked-out toys ever, with a soda holder, removable sensorscope, illuminating light beam, utility arm, sound processing microphones, sonar navigational system, adaptable droid mood status indicator, and a sleek rotating dome.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Item For Any Star Wars Fan!, January 15, 2007

We gave our six yr old son R2 for Christmas and it was the big hit of the day! When he unwrapped his gift and saw that it was R2 inside it was one of those priceless moments that you wish you caught on video...it even brought tears to his eyes. Now, I will say that R2 takes some getting used to. You have to say things just right and be pretty close to him when you speak to him or else he doesn't understand and will just go about doing his own thing. He definitely seems to have a mind of his own sometimes, but that is part of the fun, too. When our six yr old gets a bit older I think he will have more fun with R2. I think the recommendation for 8 and up is probably right on due to the fact that it is a bit challenging for kids to operate (can even be challenging for adults!) Even so, R2 is so cute and life like...any Star Wars fan would love it!

I was a little hesistant to purchase this toy for my 7yr old, as he's a little rough on his things and not very patient, but this one is great! The instructions are very easy to follow and the commands are simple. He loves it!
