Terrible C3PO knockoffs gallery

Posted by Cory Doctorow, January 22, 2008 10:42 PM | permalink

StarWars.com has a fine collection of truly atrocious fake C3PO merchandise, from belt buckles to faintly sexual plastic masks. My favorite off-model C3PO remains this living statue in Covent Garden, though his cheery thumbs-up makes me think that at least he was taking pleasure in his work. Link (Thanks, Bonnie!)

Nice idea, but it looks like they consider any vague resemblance a deliberate knock-off. I don't think threepio was the world's first or only fictional humanoid robot.
