Trilogo R2-D2 (Sensorscope) 70-C variant
This is the R2-D2 "Sensorscope" figure on TRILOGO european packaging as retailed in various countries accross Europe. This card packaging features the standard etched bubble, short version for small action figures such as the R2. This card is a "70-C" type variant as referenced by collectors, which was introduced in Europe starting 1984 and later sold on clearance in the U.S. by store chains like KayBee.

Although initially produced for the whole European market, minor details were changed depending on the country they were packaged and retailed. The "70-C" style is easily recognizable with its very thin cardstock, and the enlarged action figure placement color area causing the silver bar to extend below the nameplate area.

The group picture below is a perfect illustration of Trilogo packaging variants that can be found for a same figure, from LEFT to RIGHT:

- French Trilogo R2-D2 sensorscope
- Trilogo R2-D2 sensorscope regular mass-market packaging
- Trilogo R2-D2 sensorscope "70-C" latter card variant
