Can't be right :? For 3k it needs a bit more provenance than 'someone told me...'

A modern mold being passed off as vintage.

No idea what this is, but the description made me laugh 'Prototype of what Is believed to be the original 1977 R2D2' yet looks nothing like it at all!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

There was a thread about this exact item on RS months back...same seller. I think it was like a mold for a mid 90's issue key chain....but I cant remember the whole story.

It looks like 90 stuff, but I am not sure :?

Looks like something you get from McDonald's in a happy meal :lol: Definitely should not be compared to a vintage R2 like that as it's obviously not from the same mold :roll:

Looks like the POTF2 R2 from 1995.
