| Its taken me quite a few years to put all these together, the Fett and open hand Vader on the left are particularly hard to find in any condition, currently chewie is sharing the crossbow with fett as they both appeared with one and Vader is missing his red sabre which is the same as lukes but in red as it fits in his hand.  |

| Don't pull any punches on your first limelight eh Adam? LOL
I am not a bootleg guy but these are ace, the Hungarian figures are close enough to the originals to spark my interest and the cardbacks + weapons help!
Very nice and rare set of figures, congrats and thanks for the share! |

| Nice Set Adam!
I've always liked the Fetts colors. Just a cool looking figure and he actually makes the bowcaster look good! |

| Very nice set Adam! I absolutely LOVE the Wicket! The 3PO is pretty cool too. Why the two different Vaders? I didn't know there were "variants" in the Hungarian line other than the cardbacks.  |

| Wow!
Nice limelight!
I noticed Luke (Original) has a luke Jedi Green Sabre!... Is this close to the original? That's the first example I seen of a pre 90s Repro Bootleg Sabre. Any chance of some close ups mate?

| There is kind of a sabre bootleg in the Polish first gen weaponry as well, a small microphone looking object, that has also been cast from a vintage lightsabre but from a SW one. This is clearly a Luke Jedi sabre, and as you can see its pretty rough round the edges and very flexible. Nice that is still has the 3 buttons on it though!  |

| Geat collection shot Adam, very nice mate.
Not sure if everyone is aware but the Hungarian bootlegs are made from a plastic mould so the figures are hollow.
This makes them very light.
That's the great thing with bootlegs, you have the heave Trems, the rubber like Polish, plastic Mexicans and the hollow Hungarians. A real mixture of materials and designs.
