Description:
There just isn't much to say about the large size C-3PO figure. As you'd expect of a C-3PO figure, it had a nice gold finish and...well, it looked like C-3PO. Still, it would have been nice if Kenner had included a small accessory or two. Something like a small comlink for the toy to hold in its hand would have made it a whole lot more interesting. Loose examples are common, though they frequently show wear on the gold finish.
This and the R2-D2 large size figure were issued in very late 1978, as exclusives of the JC Penney chain of stores. They were released widely in 1979.
First Issued: 1978 (SW packaging)
