R2D2 - 1977 - STAR WARS COIN BANK

Star Wars ceramic banks were released by Roman Ceramics Corporation in 1977 just after the debut of the original Star Wars movie, A New Hope. Handcrafted from ceramic, these banks were more delicate than their plastic toy counterparts. The detailed molding and careful painting involved in their creation ensured that each character was easily recognizable and accurately depicted as seen in the film. Star Wars banks come complete with plugs, protective bags and original shipping boxes. This ceramic bank measures approx. 8" tall and exemplify the broad lasting appeal of the Star Wars franchise, marking a time when movie merchandise diversified significantly, becoming a crucial aspect of fan engagement and marketing strategies.
