[spoons]

don't know about it being fake, but there do seem to be a fair few of the polish sprues.

The figures are from the 90s (I think) so they are fairly common

 

[burnsy]

Really like it, especially as I have an at-at driver focus going on at the mo, he reckons he has another one which is why I ask your opinion?

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

I wouldn't put it past someone to fake one but it would seem a lot of effort as theres a fair few around. You can get them on the sprues or made up. There are even some graded ones around. Aren't they UZAY's rather than Polish :?: I can't remember with bootlegs.

 

[burnsy]

I think they may be Uzays, Gusties got one made up. I've had a few polish off Steve, and I think they may be a diferent material. NOt sure till I get it in m y hands.

 

[gustie]

they have biker scout limbs so they seem to be polish

 

[spoons]

I always assumed that they're polish as they have biker scout limbs

They are normally sold as uzays and I've always wondered why :?:

 

[Adam_Burges]

I've never seen one sell as an Uzay, i think you guys are getting mixed up with the Uzay sprue that gets sold off as a prototype all the time, I think you will find that they are just overstock as well though and not proto, same with the Polish stuff, all overstock apparently.

Polish

Uzay

that's cleared it up - cheers Adam

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

Ahhh I see the difference now. Cheers

 

[gustie]

is the polish torso cast in one piece?

 

[Adam_Burges]

yep

 

[gustie]

heavier than the other figures then i take it

 

[Adam_Burges]

Nearly all Polish bootleg torso's are solid, the only ones that arnt are the deluxe and some Polish originals.

Out of the second generation Polish bootlegs, all but Vader has turned up on these sprues. The others have shown up in various quantities and various colors (i.e., Nien Nunb molded in gray or blue, etc). Personally, I've tracked down all but Leia. Still pissed I passed on one when I had the chance but that happens sometimes. Makes the hunt all the more fun

PS The seller is top notch. A+ all the way. [Tell him I recommended him to you!]

These Polish bootlegs make a nice addition to any focus, especially with all of the awesome color variants you can find. Here's what I've found so far:
