Luke Bespins (Bagged)
The great thing about bootlegs is that, although no kid in his right mind would actually want to own or play with them, some collectors would literally slit their wrists to get as many of them as possible.

Take these two beauties, for instance. They're hardly even recognizable as Luke Bespin bootlegs. But that's what they are. Looking at stuff like this, I just have to wonder what toy marketing genius decides to make it. I mean, most kids would cry if you told them to play with this.

Here's a closeup of the figures. They're kind of boring. In my opinion, the header card is really the most intersting part of this piece. It's got some great graphics; it even includes the Spanish translation of Star Wars. But what's with that astronaut on the left?
