These squirtable R2 unit shampoo containers are all kinds of adorable, and the site gains a lot of geek cred by clearly associating the colors with their permutations of the Astromech line. The red/white one is an R4-P17, the black is the R2-Q5, the green is R2-A6 and the red/silver is R2-R9. Even so, that nozzle erecting itself from the top of R2's dome is entirely unnecessarily. The way the delivery mechanism
should work is by pushing down R2's entire head, which causes the lotion to squirt out of his telescopic optical nozzle.
The official site has some insinuating descriptive wording as well: "The dispenser may be filled with 185ml or roughly 6 ounces worth of shampoo, creamy lotion, liquid soap, or greasy lubricants of some sort." There's really only one sort you keep in your bathroom or bedroom, gents.
$18 per droid, if you're interested.

They are incredibly cool!
I might have to put these one on my birthday list!
-all of them.
The BEST part? They're all OTHER Astromech 'Droids!!
I mean I love R2, but hey...
I think that greasy stuff mod only works after the removal of some bolt or another, but they're pretty small, they shouldn't get too far away.
Not that I would know. I can't remember ever owning a 'droid before...
Is the greasy lubricant comment a sly crack by the makers that if you buy this you'll never get laid?
