Droids C-3PO Case Boxed (Toy Fair sample) | |
This is a boxed version of the
unproduced Droids series C-3PO
case.
There are two versions of the boxed Droids C-3PO case, with one example of each known to exist: one that was featured in Kenner Toy Fair catalog photography (i.e. the 1986 Kenner Pre-Toy Fair Catalog), and one that was used for display at Toy Fair. Both are packaging mockups and not final product samples.
The prototype Droids C-3PO cases also occur as variants. One version is bright yellow and lacks sculpted details in the eyes and forehead. The other version of the case has textured eyes and a greeblie on the forehead, and the color is a mustard yellow. The one pictured here is the Toy Fair display sample with the bright yellow version of the C-3PO case. The illustrations are pasted onto the cardboard. The front of the box shows portions of the packaging that were planned for the final product that never reached market. The small white velcro circles on the back were used to attach this case to cloth-covered walls for presentations or display. |
