About This Figure
R2-D2 from Kenner's Vintage Collection line (Modern Era).
Hasbro's deliberate throwback to the Kenner card back — 3.75-inch scale with super-articulation and vintage-style packaging that doubles as display art. Flips between fan-favourite demand spikes.
R2-D2's original Kenner figure (1977-78) is one of the three foundational pieces of vintage Star Wars collecting alongside Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker — the sensorscope action variant and the early vs. later production telescoping vs. non-telescoping leg debates are among the most studied variations in all of action figure collecting; virtually every Star Wars line from Kenner through Hasbro Black Series has produced an R2 unit.
