Description

Star Wars R2-D2 (w/ Sensorscope) 48-Back AFA Y85 ** POP 2, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Kenner, 1983). By the time Return of the Jedi arrived in 1983, R2-D2 had already become the heart and soul of the Star Wars saga - a loyal astromech whose courage and charm transcended the films themselves. Kenner's Sensorscope version captured the character's expanded utility from The Empire Strikes Back, featuring a retractable sensorscope rising from the dome. The figure remains one of the most beloved and instantly recognizable designs from the entire vintage line. Graded AFA Y-NM+ 85, with subgrades of C85 B85 F85, this example carries a population of two at this grade, ranking as the second highest known, with only one graded higher in the population report. A shining symbol of Kenner's innovation and attention to cinematic detail, this Return of the Jedi 48-Back R2-D2 represents the pinnacle of classic Star Wars collecting. For fans seeking to capture the magic of the original trilogy in pristine vintage form, few figures better embody the optimism, ingenuity, and enduring appeal of a galaxy far, far away.
