Description

Star Wars C-3PO 12-Back B AFA 80 (Kenner, 1978). Few characters embody the original Star Wars trilogy's charm quite like C-3PO, the ever-anxious protocol droid fluent in "over six million forms of communication." As one of the original 12 figures released by Kenner in 1978, C-3PO holds a foundational place in action figure history. The 12-Back B cardback represents the earliest refinement of the line, continuing the launch that forever changed the toy industry. Early C-3PO figures remain especially collectible thanks to their gleaming vac-metal finish, which proved notoriously fragile in play. This example has been graded AFA 80 with subgrades of C80 B80 F80, earning a designation of NM. An essential cornerstone of the Kenner line, C-3PO's debut release is as iconic as the character himself. With its early 12-Back pedigree and solid overall grade, this piece is a vital addition for any serious Star Wars collection-a golden opportunity to own one of the saga's very first figures.
