Looking closer at the hub, we see that it looks alike the robot in the movies, I don't think there are many details missing. It has two ports in the front and two in the back. There is also a fancier model available with a led in the head that flashes and the head moves when you plug a device into the hub. This more inexpensive  version makes noises though and is very similar to the more expensive model.
