It also offers a short biography:

R2-W50 is unlike any other Astromech Droid in the Galaxy. As a loyal Astromech, R2-W50 lives on Naboo serving different members of the Royal house. His droid build is similar to other classic R-series droids, but features an iridescent coloration on its body. Join R2-W50 on his adventure across the galaxy. May the Force be with You… and your droids!

This Astromech Droid figure was created to commemorate 50 years of magic at Walt Disney World Resort.
