For a hot summer day, there is nothing more refreshing than an ice cold can of Artoo’s premium beer! Teefury always has great parody shirts and today, Teefury takes a whack at our beloved astrometric droid from Star Wars. Considering the fact that Artoo has been recreated over the years as a fridge, trash can, and other products, it is fitting to see Artoo as a can of beer. Why not? Is there another alternative? I doubt an Artoo deodorant stick would be as pleasing as a can of beer. Teefury favorite designer, James Lillis of Brisbane, Australia thinks so as designed this hilarious shirt. Unfortunately, like all Teefury shirts, this will only be available for one day at a low low price of 9 dollars (or credits, based on your planet system’s currency of choice).

Thank you Gentle Giant! Thank you Star Wars! Thank you for the gift of gracing us with the GREATEST R2-D2 collectible of all time! There I said it! This lovely astrometric droid has all the bells and whistles that we wished we could have had in previous Artoo toys. There has been previous attempts by Kenner and Hasbro at adding the little special features that Artoo possessed, but they never did Artoo justice. Next year, Gentle Giant will drop this bad boy early next year. Measuring at 7 inches tall, Artoo will be produced in cold cast polystone and hand painted? With all this meticulous work, it is obvious that this Artoo will be limited edition. On top of the great craftsmanship, this bitchin’ Artoo comes with periscope scanners, mechanical gripper, Luke Skywalkers lightsaber (from Return of the Jedi). rotary saw, computer hackin’ thingie, and more. All the little accessories are detachable so you can customize Artoo to your liking. BEAUTIFUL! Too bad this Artoo doesn’t move and make noises. That my friends, is the next GREATEST R2-D2 collectible of all time!
