Paul Strauss over at the great Technabob blog was surfing around, looking for the R2-D2 USB Mini Fridge, when he stumbled upon this awesome Artoo refrigerator.

The product has only been made in 1000 copies and they were intended as a prize for an “Attack of the Clones” contest, held at 7-11 stores in Japan back in 2002.

The ToyEast.com website has a copy of the R2-D2 Fridge that can be yours for $1,070.

Fans of the animated television series Family Guy can now get their hands on a fun talking bottle opener shaped like Stewart Gilligan “Stewie” Griffin.

The favourite character from Family Guy can now hang, completely helpless, on your fridge door only to spew nasty comments your way everytime you use him as the little bad bottle opener that he is.

He has 5 comments to throw at you:

• You will bow to me!
• I’ve been a bawdy little monkey!
• Who the hell do you think you are?
• The outrages I have suffered today will not be soon forgotten.
• Thank you! When the world is mine, your death shall be quick and painless.

The Talking Stewie Griffin Bottle Opener also works as a fridge magnet. The product is available from Gadgets.dk for 129 DKK (about $27 USD).

If you think the Starry AM/FM Cooler is too small and you don’t like rolling along the Rolling Cooler/Audio System, maybe the Wagan Thermo Sport Fridge/Cooler ($110) will do the trick.
