Just as R2D2 himself was ever-present throughout the Star Wars saga, R2D2 gadgets have always been an important part of our range here at Gadget Inspector. We've done an R2D2 Safe, an R2D2 iPhone case, and even R2D2 mints, but our newest gadget, the Remote Controlled Inflatable R2D2, might just be the best R2D2 gadget of all.
Who didn't love R2D2? The lovable droid wouldn't have been included in all six Star Wars movies if the audiences weren't going gaga for him, and everything about that cute little robot, from his cool blue and white look to the high-pitched beeps that he uses to communicate, remains hugely iconic. That's why we thought it would be great to give you the chance to take R2D2 home with you in the form of your very own RC robot toy! Gadget Inspector's inflatable R2D2 is fun for kids and adults alike, so whether you're new to the Star Wars universe or still fondly remembering that life-changing trip to the cinema in 1977, having an inflatable RC robot to play with will make you feel like you really are in a galaxy far, far away!
The inflatable R2D2 is more that just an RC toy; he's an RC robot, with all sorts of cool features!
- The inflatable R2D2 has a super durable body, so you'll be playing with him for a long time to come!
- 360-degree manoeuvrability means your RC robot can go forwards, backwards, left and right.
- The RC robot comes with a built-in self-righting system, so every time your inflatable R2D2 gets knocked down, he'll get right back up again all on his own!
- Tri-band operation allows you and two friends to get an inflatable R2D2 each and have a three-way RC robot race!
That's just a handful of the reasons why we love our inflatable R2D2 so much. He's the best friend a Star Wars fan could ask for, so grab your RC robot today and kick your playtime into hyperspace!
Our site is jam-packed with Superman accessories, gadgets and gifts
Need a gift for your nerdy friend? Superman stuff ahoy! We're a bunch of big old geeks here at Gadget Inspector - look at all the comic book paraphernalia on the site - and we couldn't resist stocking up on a bunch of cool Superman accessories for like-minded folk to enjoy. Our stack of Superman stuff is pretty vast, so if you love the Last Son of Krypton, you're in the right place!
First up, check out these brilliant Superman Wallets! They're perfect for keeping your cards and cash safe from evil, and whether you go for this colourful Comic Wallet or the more grown-up Leather Wallet, your Superman accessories are sure to be the envy of comic lovers everywhere. Elsewhere on planet Superman stuff, you'll find a selection of stylish Superman Cufflinks. These Superman accessories are perfect for keeping your officewear smart when you're being Clark Kent rather than Superman.
Still, if you really want to look like The Man of Metropolis, you'll want to zoom straight to the top of Mount Superman Stuff and grab a fantastic Superman Costume. Bold and brightly-coloured, they all look awesomely authentic and some of them even include fake foam muscles to cover up less-than-super physiques. Our Superman accessories really can do anything!
So jump in and see if we've got any Superman stuff for you. Gadget Inspector is the perfect place for any fan of the caped crusader! Wait...that's Batman.
When evil rears its ugly head, time is of the essence. Comic book characters can’t spend hours fiddling with all the little bits of their costume – they need to get it on as quickly as possible and rush headlong into battle. Crime waits for no one, so throw away all those troublesome costume accessories and slip straight into one of our sensationally stretchable second skin suits!
Second skin suits are all-in-one bodysuits that cover you up from head to toe. Our Second Skin department has got a bunch of colourful costumes for you to choose from, but our latest additions, second skin suits based on famous comic book characters, are probably the best yet. Become Batman, Superman, or The Flash in an instant – you could even put your normal clothes on over the second skin costume, and tear them off Clark Kent-style to reveal your true crimefighting colours!
Like all of our second skin outfits, all of our skintight comic book characters are made of breathable material that doesn’t prevent you from seeing, speaking, or even drinking through it while you’ve got your costume on! If you and your nerdy friends want to dress up as comic book characters this Halloween, our superhero second skin suits are the perfect way to do it.
Our Micro Drone Quadrocopter takes remote control fun to a whole new level!
If you’ve already got yourself a brilliant RC Helicopter from Gadget Inspector, and you’ve more or less mastered that, then perhaps it’s time to take your remote control experience to the next level. The brand new Micro Drone Quadrocopter is a huge leap forward for remote control technology, and here’s why:
- The quadrocopter boasts a four-blade, quad-rotor design that gives it unprecedented stability in the air. It also has a rather clever self-stabilising system, so your quadrocopter will rule the skies even when it’s windy!
- Intuitive 4-channel controls make the quadrocopter the smoothest ride you’ve ever piloted! The gyroscopic steering system allows you to fly your quadrocopter forwards, backwards, up, down, left and right, and the sprawling 120-metre range allows your remote control aircraft to scale heights you could only dream of before.
- Best of all, the quadrocopter can perform death-defying stunts at the push of a button. The remote control boffins who built the quadrocopter included an algorithm that allows it to do a 360-degree flips in mid-air. Just press the stunt button on the remote control handset, and your quadrocopter will soon be somersaulting around the sky like nobody’s business.
So if you want an RC helicopter with a bit of bite, the quadrocopter really is the only way to go. Still, this is cutting-edge stuff, so if you don’t think you’re ready for the quadrocopter just yet then perhaps you should start with one of our other Remote Control Helicopters first.
A superhero costume or two would certainly win our vote!
If you've been following the flow of American election action this autumn, you won't need us to tell you that the second big presidential debate took place last night. Obama and Romney went in all guns blazing, and while they both made some good points, we can't help but feel like there's one man who could easily clean up at any presidential debate if he'd only bother to run.
As you've probably guessed from that resplendent superhero costume up there. we're talking about Captain America. Dragging a fictional super-soldier into the presidential debate discussion might seem like a bit of a leap, but when you think about it, he's a shoe-in: a patriotic do-gooder who's muscular enough to get physically involved in protecting his country if he needs to. And most importanly (at least where the presidential debate is concerned), he's loaded with irresistible charisma!
Frankly, we think a superhero costume would do wonders for the images of Obama and Romney alike. Captain America is the obvious choice, but any superhero costume would do: Iron Man, Thor and Batman would all make pretty good leaders if you ask us. Obama is rumoured to be something of a comic book geek, so surely he sees that every presidential debate, and indeed election, would be his for the taking if he donned a superhero costume and embraced that Captain America spirit?
