Empire Strikes Back 41-Back Luke Skywalker
Seen here is an ESB 41 back Luke Skywalker that was released in Spain by the PBP/Poch company. Besides being already rare because it is an ESB Spanish release figure, this Luke is special for another reason. If you look at the name plate under the ESB logo it says, "Luke Caminacielos". Caminacielos is a perfect Spanish translation of Skywalker. To my knowledge, this is the only licensed Star Wars figure (vintage or modern) bearing this translated name.

The back of this figure is also exclusive to certain ESB PBP figures, with its graphics and text being printed horizontally. It pictures 37 figures, but lists 41 at the top. This is certainly one of the coolest foreign Star Wars action figures that I have ever seen.
