C-3PO

Description[]

C-3PO, sometimes spelled See-Threepio and often referred to simply as Threepio, was a 3PO unit protocol droid designed to interact with organics, programmed primarily for etiquette and protocol. He was fluent in over six million forms of communication, and developed a fussy and worry-prone personality throughout his many decades of operation. Along with his counterpart, the astromech droid R2-D2, C-3PO constantly found himself directly involved in pivotal moments of galactic history, and aided in saving the galaxy on many occasions.

C-3PO was built from spare parts by Anakin Skywalker, a human slave who lived in Mos Espa, a city on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. C-3PO's memory was erased, though R2-D2's memory was not. C-3PO and R2-D2 were assigned to the Alderaan cruiser Tantive IV, where they served senator Bail Organa for nineteen years. At some point during this time, C-3PO's right leg was fitted with a mismatched droid plating.

This die-cast representation of the heart-warming droid C-3PO is designed to look like a drag bus. C-3PO's circular chest emblem is present on the large rear wing. All his cables that connect his upper body to his lower, are placed between the wing and body of the model. The model's headlights are designed to look like C-3PO's eyes. On the inside of this C-3PO Drag Bus is a hidden detailed engine.
