Empire Strikes Back R2-D2 Switcheroo Proof Card
The packaging prototype shown above is a proof card for the Empire Strikes Back R2-D2 switcheroo. Kenner also produced two other varieties within the Switcheroo light switch cover series: C-3PO and Darth Vader. Proof cards for the Darth Vader and C-3PO Switcheroos may be viewed here and here. One should expect nothing short of great depth in the R2-D2 collection owned by Bryan Simmons, so it's no suprise to find a matching quality control carded sample for the R2-D2 Switcheroo shown here from Bryan's collection.
