R2-D2 Aquarium with Built-In Periscope

R2-D2 Aquarium

No rest for the tin can astromech droid. It wasn’t that long ago since we saw R2-D2 as a fridge, and now this popular Star Wars character has to hold a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment.

The domed head rotates with any vocal command you issue and he utters his familiar “bleeps” from the Star Wars movies. His radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope that provides an intimate view of the aquatic activity below, allowing you to watch your charges swim towards the food you’ve dropped in from the dome’s removable feeding door.

Includes filter and overhead LED tank lights that randomly morph between red, blue, and green (lights can be disabled). Includes a two-sided waterproofed cardboard insert depicting scenes from the movie as a background.

The R2-D2 Aquarium plugs into AC and measures 30(H) x 16(W) x 16(L) inches. The product is available from the Hammacher Schlemmer website for $129.95
