C-3PO: A New Icon in Lladró’s Star Wars Collection

Protocol droid C-3PO, as brought to life by Anthony Daniels, joins Lladró’s Star Wars Collection, handcrafted in porcelain by Lladró’s artists, it captures the essence of this popular character in every detail, standing over 13 inches tall.

C-3PO joins the Lladró catalog alongside classic characters from the franchise, from Darth Vader™ to his inseparable adventure companion R2-D2™, among many other designs, some of which are limited editions.

The quirky robotic character C-3PO™ is a constant presence throughout the saga (he appears in 11 of the 12 films released to date). A source of comic relief and R2-D2™’s inseparable partner, he has been faithfully recreated by Lladró’s artists, showcasing his characteristic design and his unmistakable gesture with his hand slightly raised. A pose that any Star Wars fan would recognize: it signals that a chaotic situation is on the horizon.

His golden silhouette perfectly captures the aesthetic of the protocol droid originally designed by Anakin Skywalker, programmed to master over 6 million forms of communication. The metal plates on his body, the circular reliefs on his torso, and the central area with exposed wiring are reinterpreted to offer a representation that accurately translates another Star Wars icon into porcelain.
