Craignwo4life's bootleg collection!! (In Memory of Craig)

[craignwo4life]

I've finally got around to taking some (poor quality )photos of my Polish bootlegs that I have been collecting for a few months !! 8)

After seeing them for sale all the time on Rebelscum I decided to buy a Polish Boba Fett to see what the quality was like and as usual I got addicted to buying them !! :lol:

Excellent Craig - The orange Chewie is fantastic 8)

They're a bit different 8) Do they all have moveable limbs? I don't know anything about bootlegs Did the Polish make up their own moulds based on the Kenner figures?

 

[vintagefan77]

That's really awesome. How do they feel in real life?

Is there ever a concern some might be freshly made? The price of some, it might be tempting to knock a few off :?

Nice collection Craig! 8)
How many different bootlegs are there?

It never ceases to amaze me how UNlike the originals most of the Polish bootlegs look!
I never knew Stevie Wonder had worked in Poland making SW figures.

 

[gustie]

they seem to love biker scout limbs!!! appear everywhere lol

 

[cocofstar]

Very impressive Craig :shock: How long has it taken to put that lot together?

Wow amazing collection Craig, some of them look great.

I like grandpa Chewie :lol: 8)

every time i see these bootleg i think that polish kids used to sit watching the movies waiting for that charector to come on screen :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[mash]

now that is a large collection of bootlegs they look great, how can you be sure that they are not bootlegs of bootlegs???

 

[TWOFOOT]

I am guessing there must be a giant dulux factory somewhere in poland. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I just can believe all the different colour variations. I never realised your bootleg collection had go so big.

Most of them have moveable limbs, which is what I prefer. 8)

The Han, Chewies, C-3PO and the silver Stormtrooper are all unarticulated.

This is one of the reference guides I use:

They are made of a hard rubber and surprisingly the quality is a lot better than you would expect, especially on the articulated ones. 8)

I don't know about freshly made but there are some out there that have been repainted to make them look like something slightly different as I have recently found out !! :x :lol:

i've been collecting them for about 6 months. When I sold all of my AFA90 loose figures I decided to reinvest in them!! 8)

I have a few more on the way so I will updated the photos then. :wink:

Cracking collection Craig, glad to see that 1st gen Lando turn out nice!

 

[jabbawokkie]

[craignwo4life]

They generally have either Biker Scout or Tie Pilot limbs !! :lol:

 

[jabbawokkie]

even darth :shock: though the darth looks better being a bit more bulky.that leia looks like that russian bird of dodge ball :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Kevin_Mason]

These are great Craig! I really love that Black and White Stormie - super rare stuff. Thanks for sharing.

 

[craignwo4life]

Thanks Kevin, I'm just waiting (hoping) for that final figure to arrive so I can include it with the others. :wink:
