This authentic vintage Kenner Star Wars Radio Controlled R2-D2 from 1978 is a must-have for any Star Wars collector or fan of classic toys. It comes complete with the original box, remote control, styrofoam insert, and all parts as shown.
The toy captures the iconic astromech droid design with detailed molding, blue accents, and chrome dome, standing about 8 inches tall. It was designed to move forward and backward, turn left and right, emit electronic beeping sounds, and light up its red "eye" via the wireless remote—bringing the magic of the original Star Wars film to life for kids back in the day.
Showing typical signs of age for a nearly 50-year-old item, including yellowing of the white plastic, some surface dirt, and wear on the box with tears and creases. Functionality is untested as it needs fresh batteries, but everything appears intact with no major breaks or missing pieces.
As part of Kenner's groundbreaking Star Wars toy line, this RC R2-D2 holds historical significance as one of the first remote-controlled figures in the franchise, released during the height of the movie's cultural impact.
It's increasingly rare to find complete sets like this, making it a valuable addition to any vintage collection.
