R2-D2 Ceramic Robot from Star Wars
Ceramic Star Wars Robot Bank
  
Above are pictures of a large R2D2 by Great Plains Ceramics. Dimensions are around 6 inches in diameter and over 8 inches in height. I have found this to be a rare and undocumented Star Wars object.
The maker Great Plains was literaly a Mid-Western company that produced these bank-like creamics in limited quantities. If it was intended as a bank, then there must have been a cork bottom or plastic lid. As it is, the toy appears to be more of a static ceramic statue. There a number of slots fully cut through the R2-D2.
If you have additional Great Plains information or R2-D2 information, please send an email to admin@robot-japan.com . Thanks!
