Return of the Jedi 65-Back (Emperor Offer) R2-D2 w/ Sensorscope Cromalin
The packaging prototype shown here for the ROTJ R2-D2 w/Sensorscope blister card is referred to as a Cromalin. Although it's printed on one side, the "Emperor Offer" presence on the front enables its classification as a 65-Back style. The Cromalin features printing solely on the front. The colors utilized on the name plate and figure/coin areas both compliment the character perfectly and make for an incredibly attractive cromalin. Marks and notations are extremely common with Cromalins. This one sports a few red marks and a notation on the bottom left corner with a comment pertaining to a design patent number.
