On the official online shopping site of the American-based general merchandise brand Hallmark, a cupcake container with the motif of the popular character "R2-D2" from the movie "Star Wars" series has been released. The price is $ 19.95 (about 2,400 yen).


Made of ceramic and plastic, this R2-D2 is more than just a container. When you open the lid (head), it sings a 15-second "birthday song ."

In the product introduction video on the site, you can see how lovely R2-D2 plays the festive melody of "Pappa Phu Hee Hupi Hui ~ (Happy Birthday to You)" with the familiar electronic sound.


Not only as a birthday present for Star Wars fans, but also for a birthday when no one is celebrating. Following on from R2-D2, which says "Welcome back" from the refrigerator, I definitely want this single-friendly item! I thought ... Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock and is not being delivered to Japan. If I see it somewhere, I'm likely to pick it up without hesitation.
