About This Figure
C-3PO from Hasbro's Power of the Force line (Prequel Hype Era), released circa 1995–2000.
The over-muscled, neon-carded return of Star Wars to shelves — instantly recognizable for the buff proportions that made Kenner historians cringe and nostalgic collectors love in equal measure.
C-3PO's gold deco and relatively static pose in early Kenner figures made him one of the more display-oriented vintage Star Wars pieces — the 12-back C-3PO is among the most recognized early Kenner cardbacks; the removable limbs play feature in the Empire Strikes Back-era figure was an unusual mechanical innovation, and the Black Series gold chrome C-3PO releases have been among the more technically challenging modern Star Wars figures to produce.
