Bootlegs
Maintained by Gus Lopez (lopez@theswca.com)

Bootlegs toys and other Star Wars collectibles were made primarily in countries where Star Wars was not commercially released in theaters. Most Star Wars bootlegs originate from the eastern bloc countries: Poland, Hungary, and Russia. The most notable carded bootlegs are Turkish UZAY carded figures. They also issued a couple of mini-rigs. The card photos for these figures show a cheesy images of the action figure in a pose, some with pyschedelic backgrounds.
