French for Dolls from Star Wars. I love how this vintage catalog used the C3P0 model kit as a proxy for the action figure.

And that's why I failed grade ten French people.

You can tell that's the R2-D2 model kit as well, because of the white eyepiece frame and the length of blue arms on the upper part of the body. [proudly polishes nerd badge] 🙂

JFStan is all kinds of awesome. Hopefully he'll be kind enough to remind this ageing '70s kid which Star Wars film "ZEPO" appeared in. 😀

Hi,
In fact the droids are not presented as dolls but model kits.

The introduction text says : "All the stars from the famous movie in dolls and model kits".

Luke and Leia are presented as dolls.

"maquette" = model kit, and "poupée" = doll

By the way, great website, always a pleasure to visit you !
