The R2-D2 action figure with a solid dome, released by Kenner in the late 1970s, was initially part of the Early Bird Certificate Package and the first wave of 12-back cards. The figure was a simple yet effective representation of the iconic astromech droid, complete with a vac-metallized silver dome, a clicking head that simulated the droid’s movement, and two sturdy legs. This original R2-D2 figure had a darker blue dome compared to the standard blue variations that would appear later and included a paper sticker detailing the droid’s body. Although there weren’t many major variations in the figure, some distinctive ones included a teal green dome variant from Taiwan and a light blue domed version with a dimple in the center of the dome
