Star Wars Bootleg?

[raider5gt]

I am not really into Star Wars anymore but not sure if these are Star Wars bootlegs or not?I got these last month.

They are on a card by Crazy Toys and have no articulation,other than there legs move from the pelvis.I thought they were abit different and could not resist them.

I know of them. They are recent bootlegs. The arms should be articulated at the shoulder. From what I understand, the mold is nearly an exact copy of the originals.

I've seen a Stormtrooper in 12" size as well. Same company, same artwork, and the size of the Gentle Giant Jumbo figures.
I actually like these, with nice clutter free packaging.

SW community was a bit concerned about these. From what I understand, they are Very good repros and are not marked - which is usually a pretty big no-no in the SW community. So.... if you pick up a really white stormtrooper in the future.....

Ah, well, just ordered a set anyway. Couldn't resist either, impulse buy.
One day, I'll retire from the money I make off selling my set...

The Chinese seller gets quite a few negatives for selling bootleg items, what a surprise.
I especially loved one complaint "I ordered a Monopoly set...and it's all in Chinese!!!!"
I think Chinese Monopoly must be fun and challenging. Should I order one?

Sorry Rik did not mean to be a bad influence on you by posting these.

To be totally honestly though, some SW fans can be a bit...out there. I still remember the unhealthy level of nerd raging on a SW forum because someone opened a common figure on a C-3 card.

So.... if you pick up a really white stormtrooper in the future.....

Loose Kenner Stormtroopers are as common as dirt and can be easily gotten NM and complete well under $20. Besides, the bootlegs being brand new bright white (or black) and sold from China should be a pretty good give away.

No rage here. But I do know that some folks like to keep vintage as vintage. This sort of stuff blurs the line a bit when the repros are not marked.

Thanks for the info Werewolf and rche.

As you said rche,some folks like to keep vintage as vintage,I hope I have not opend a can of worms so to speak,I was just asking if these were bootlegs and thought they were quirky and abit different.

Here's that 12" version. Kind of cool actually and if it was a little cheaper I'd grab one.

I just did a quick search on eBay for things made by crazy toys, and they do a "zombie" Michael Jackson figure! Lol. How cool is that?!

It's like my Jack Russell and cats.
Once you point it out to me, I just have to chase it....

This is so cool! I had the 12" Gentle Giant version and gave it away but this looks like a better way to go.

[Gorn Captain]

Bootleg or not, I must admit that they look pretty crisp and clean, unlike most fake figures.
