Vintage 1979 Star Wars C-3PO & R2-D2 Coca-Cola Promo Plastic Cup

Quench your thirst for original-trilogy nostalgia with this authentic vintage 1979 Star Wars C-3PO and R2-D2 Coca-Cola Company promotional plastic cup. Originally released as a theater or fast-food restaurant premium to celebrate the massive cultural footprint of the original film (and fuel anticipation for The Empire Strikes Back), this rare piece of food-service memorabilia features a classic, vibrant illustration of the galaxy’s most iconic astromech and protocol droid duo stranded on the desert sands of Tatooine.

This collectible cup is in great vintage condition. Because it is made of classic retro-era thin-molded plastic, finding these cups with intact, unpeeled, and unfaded artwork is a true rarity. It is a fantastic addition to a Star Wars display shelf, a vintage barware collection, or a media room display showcase.

Product Highlights

• Official 1979 Coca-Cola Premium: A 100% genuine, original-era vintage promotional release featuring the classic script Coca-Cola trademark logo alongside the vintage Star Wars branding. Not a modern reproduction.

• Iconic Droid Artwork: Showcases the legendary dynamic between C-3PO and R2-D2 with sharp, stylized 1970s illustration work wrapping around the face of the cup.

• Excellent Display Piece: Holds its original structural shape beautifully, making it an excellent pencil holder, shelf display backdrop, or case centerpiece.

Component Condition Statement (Great Vintage Shape)

The Graphic Illustration: Great condition. The wrapped character artwork remains exceptionally clean, bold, and bright. The ink registration is sharp, with no major fading, heavy scratching, or massive peeling across the main C-3PO and R2-D2 print lines.

• The Plastic Body: Great condition. The white plastic cup base holds its original round shape and structure beautifully. It is completely free of structural cracks, splits, heavy rim chewing, or severe heat warping.

• Cosmetic Shape: Shows only typical, minor faint surface scuffs and light shelf wear consistent with its age and gentle handling over the last four decades.

• Storage Environment: Maintained strictly inside a smoke-free, pet-free, and climate-controlled hobby facility completely away from direct sunlight, dampness, or UV exposure.
