GeekAlerts has shone the spotlight on the C-3PO and Chewbacca backpacks, so it’s only fair that the R2 plush backpack ganks a piece of the limelight. The Star Wars R2-D2 Back Buddy is probably the best looking R2 backpack there is because of its fine detailing. There’s actually a deformed R2 plush backpack on the market, but it’s got nothing on this one.
Officially licensed Star Wars R2D2 Plush Bag Backpack Buddy. Carry this little guy everywhere with this awesome zipper back pack. Includes adjustable straps. Zippered pocket is large enough to hold your wallet a book a drink your cell and MP3 player and more. Measures about 20 inches long overall.
Like the droid it’s modeled after, this backpack is small in stature. You should be able to squeeze the R2-D2 Lunchbox in there, but the pack would be a cozy hiding spot for your wallet, camera, and phone, or the little things you cannot bear to leave home without, like these Star Wars Mints.
Since it’s plush, the backpack also serves as a portable cushion for times when you need a pillow to rest your head. After all, Jedi’s deserve a little nap time after fighting off pesky darkside bandits.
You can find the Star Wars R2-D2 Back Buddy at Team on Top, Amazon.com, 80sTees.com, Entertainment Earth, Newegg.com and the NeatoShop, all for around $40.
