Star Wars Canteen
What you see here is an unlicensed canteen. I can only guess the robot is supposed to be some sort of R2-D2 knock-off but aside from the domed head there are no real similarities. It's still a fun piece and the graphics are quite stunning. Take note of R2's laser cannon coming out of his head. If you look at the back of the header card that is actually the straw. One can only surmise that R2 is blasting his enemies with a healthy dose of fruit juicy goodness.

Knock-offs are one of my favorite aspects of the hobby and I think this is a great example why.
