NCS Product Synopsis Update: December 21, 2009 «©NCSX» R2-D2 is accustomed to being pimped out in the name of merchandising and it was with amusement that we glanced at Heart Art Collection's new R2-D2 Desktop Trash Can. The company has already released a full-sized R2-D2 trash bin but this new one's a smaller and more compact model that's suitable for a desk, a shelf, or maybe the top of the computer. R2-D2 measures W167 × H250 × D130mm (W6.57 x 9.84 x 5.11") and is constructed of ABS. The capacity of the holding container is roughly a liter and R2-D2 weighs 464g or roughly a pound. A little foot pedal located on the lower-front of R2-D2 may be depressed to pop R2's lid but sadly, the pedal can't trigger the top to close again. You'll need to shut Artoo's dome by hand. Heart Art's original promotional flyer showed R2 being used as a planter but we think that's a poor use for the can. Preorders are shipping today and new orders are welcome at JPY3800 or US$49.90 from NCS.
