All righty! Time for something Star Warzy! Take a peek at these beauties! No, I’m not talking about the figures. I’m talking about the packaging. These bootleg toys feature some really colorful backer cards. The cards also littered with plenty of stolen pics from the movies. These cards are so busy, I’m not sure where to look.
The card back features plenty of pics from the movies and pictures of some of the real Star Wars toys that have been released. I’m really digging this packaging. For some reason, this packaging takes me back in time to when all things were possible, including flying through a purple sky filled with field of stars littered with starships.
Of the first two pics up top, the bottom package is pretty beat up. I was digging through a box of bootleg toys at this swap meet and found that pack there. The package was so beat up, I was able to talk the dealer down to a really, really good price for it.
The cards measure about 17″x11″. The card and the bubble are both pretty frail and easily damaged/dented. You get four figures, several weapons and a vehicle in each set. I wonder how many figures the bootleggers had for this series. Both of the sets pictured include a Yoda and Han Solo figure.
Here are some better shots of the figures. I’ll leave out my own commentary. Feel free to fill in the blanks yourself.
I have to admit, finding Star Wars bootleg toys is always a special treat. Why? Because they don’t come around too often. You may be thinking to yourself “Self, I’ve seen these figures somewhere before”. Well, you are darn tooting right you’ve seen these before. You will have to dig back far into the early days of this blog to find these same figures in some slightly different bootleg toy packaging. Yeah, you’re gonna have to dig cuz I’m not gonna link back to that post. I’m sneaky that way.

Seriously. Out of all the plethora of Lucasfilm crap out there, why bootleg Shadows of the Empire stuff?
I do love the hyperactive packaging that detracts from the general horribleness of the figures.
