Star Wars R2-D2 12-Back C AFA 75 (Kenner, 1978)....

Description

Star Wars R2-D2 12-Back C AFA 75 (Kenner, 1978). R2-D2 stands at the very heart of the original 1977 launch, one of the twelve figures that established Kenner's 3.75-inch line and helped define the look of Star Wars in toy aisles for generations to come. The astromech's domed head, vacuum-metalized detailing, and compact form translated seamlessly from the screen to plastic, ensuring his place as a foundational character within the vintage assortment. The 12-Back C card represents the third variation in the original twelve-card sequence, produced in 1978 during the second year of the line's initial run. This example is graded AFA 75 EX+/NM with subgrades of C75 B80 F85. Early 12-Back R2-D2 figures remain essential to any original trilogy carded lineup, anchoring the collection with one of the saga's most enduring and recognizable heroes.
