POTF2 Bootleg Thread

[Rebojazz]

I wanted to start this thread to see what POTF2 variations people have and where they bought them. I have a several myself along with my vintage and others but have not focused too much on them yet. I am looking for a couple pre-production "limbs on trees" for an exhibit if anyone can help.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

[savrip]

I just got into them since I'm reaching the peak of my collecting focus. I figured it was one other thing, though not official, that represented the package line. I bought these two from ebay.

Luke Tatooine on Dagobah Card

I'm always looking for more. Anything orange carded will do.

 

[dArK]

I called the witch doctor he told me what to say

 

[Jason_West]

Here are some of mine.
POTF2 German Jawas Bootlegs

POTF2 South American Jawas Bootlegs

The version on a Luke Stormtrooper card is common, but the Germans are really tough. Actually, I would love to find another MOC version or what characters were made in the set.

I've never seen, or heard, of anything modern still on the sprue. I have seen vintage UZAY Vader legs and UZAY ATAT Driver arms/legs as well as unapainted UZAY ATAT Driver torsos (no sprues) and some vintage 3rd Gen Polish but never anything from POTF2 or later. If you do turn up anything please post pics as I'd love to see.

The only ones I know of is at Watto's Warehouse.

These are examples of Darth and Solo. I'd like to get some of them as well, but in due time.

Those are awesome!! think i've seen the pics before but never seen any for sale

 

[Rebojazz]

Those are the only ones that I know of as well (they are not going anywhere). Hopefully, something will show up.

 

[Rebojazz]

Nice collection Gorkoracing... I especially like the Fett. The solid green torso adds a nice touch.

Those are pretty cool. I missed those when looking over the site..

I had Leia Boushh on Luke Stormtrooper card but I sold it. There were many figs on Luke Stormtrooper card in here once, like Obi with black robe etc.

 

[Rebojazz]

I have that Leia Boushh, it's probably one of my best condition one's. There are about 21 or 22 ones with Luke Stormtrooper card including a 5" figure. Ones I haven't seen too many of are the Han Solo in Endor cards.

 

[JosephY]

OK, looks like it's time to go to the bootleg room and take some pics......be afraid....be very afraid.

 

[JosephY]

I just took a couple of pics of some fun stuff for tonight..... I can go into more detailed sets at another time....

[NickRyder]

Some of those are pretty cool. Those ones on the trees would be a dream for a customizer, no need to boil and pop!

I wish they did some bootlegs of the current era figs, although with all the ball jointing and such, doubt they'd be able to replicate them easily. POTF2 was probably as easy as Vintage to make repro bootlegs of.

 

[KevinM]

Joe, I'm just going to pretend I never saw those. It's bad enough chasing the vintage bootleg dream without adding these to the mix. [thanks for sharing anyway

]

 

[Rebojazz]

HA! I fear not.... for I'm saving up for round three, Joe

. That is the first time I've seen the multi-packs though. Those sprues look very cool... seems like you have too many, you know you don't want it to look cluttery..

Thanks for the update... as usual.

 

[JohnA]

Let's not forget the Russian POTF2 bootlegs. I love these things. I still need a Vader if anybody wants to help.

Joe, loving the Bend'ems. I have a Vader but I thought Han was the only other. I didn't know they made Luke and Chewbacca too. I don't remember seeing some of those others either. I need to make it back up to the house at some point.

That pink russian bossk is hilarious

As for the bendems I'm pretty sure darthcycy on this site still has a carded luke bendem bootleg for sale/trade.

I got my Vader from him a few years ago. Great trader.

[DarkArtist]

That is one bad knockoff of the Luke figure. He looks like pinhead from Puppet Master.

 

[Rebojazz]

Here are some pics of some that I just recently got:

Luke Stormy Cards

This AT-ST Driver is interesting as it has an unpainted torso, aside from the black belt.

Luke Jedi Cards

Luke Farmboy Cards

Star Warrio Card

VS. Two Pack

My favorite: R5-D4 on small POTF2 card

Many of these bootlegs were sold in Mexico, Brazil and the Philipines, however, some were also found in the UK and Italy as evident from these import stickers

Enjoy!

 

[KevinM]

Steve, that R5-D4 is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

 

[JedioftheNorth]

So where can you pick some of these up? is it mostly on ebay or is there particular sites recommended. Wouldn't mind some episode 1 Darth Maul bootlegs and of course Vader.

 

[JosephY]

Hmmmm, those look familiar......

 

[Rebojazz]

Ssssshhhhh!

 

[savrip]

Very cool Rebo. I like to see as many OC bootlegs as I can. I'm trying to form a wanted list that I will probably never fill, but you've always got to start somewhere.

 

[bobafett14]

Funny, that's the same "vs. 2 pack" I've been begging Hasbro to do for years. Funny a bootleg co. picked it up!

 

[Rebojazz]

Yea, this is actually the first I've seen with these two characters.... odd. I guess that's what makes them bootlegs, huh.

 

[Michael_Knight]

Really! A Snoova vs. Tie Pilot two pack. That was such an important stroy arc! It expalins the whole Sifo Dias plot hole.

let me know if you ever want to sell that Boba Fett bootletg.....

 

[John_sH]

I never much cared for "modern" bootlegs, but 2010 will see the 10th anniversary of the end of the POTF2 line (and the 15th anniversary of its beginning). The term "neoclassic" is sounding more fitting day by day and I'm really starting to warm to it.

Some of those initial POTF2 releases were pretty ugly; it was almost like Hasbro had bootlegged the Kenner run. When I'm settled with vintage bootleg collecting, I think these early POTF2 releases are going to be a great new distraction. Some of those on non-standard cards are fantastic.

 

[savrip]

Here's one I picked up recently:

 

[Rebojazz]

Nice one! I don't even have a Chewie yet. Here are a few of my most recent ones.

Sorry for the flash but the middle one is a Hoth Rebel Soldier. I actually like this R5-D4 better than the Kenner one.

 

[Rebojazz]

Thought I'd bump this up with some updates. Here are some newest additions to my collection.

Luke Jedi cards:

Luke Dagobah cards. The intersting thing on these is that these figures are a tad smaller than the other versions. They were possibly copied from the other bootleg versions whenever they were busted for bootlegging, I'm not sure. The quality of the cards are better and the detail of the figures are, overall, better but it seems like the quality of how they were put together sucks, they separate easier. This leads me to believe they were made from a different company than the rest.

Star Warrio cards. These were produced by the same company as the Luke Jedi (and SOTE) ones:

There was even a company in Russia that made POTF2 boots. This company was believed to be the same that produced the vintage AtAt Drivers in the 80's, hence the company logo on the bottem. The only two I don't have are Darth Vader and Bossk (which only two are known to exist):

I'm still looking for Obi-Wan (orange coat version-Luke Jedi card), Chewie cards and Han Endor cards.

I've already shown the R5-D4 but here is also a three pack on a mini-POTF2 Chewie card version. These came from Mexico as opposed to the Orient like most other POTF2 boots plus it's interesting to note that there are both vintage and modern bootlegs in this pack. Special thanks to JohnA for this one:

Enjoy!

I love the Russian Bootlegs! Very nice gathering of figures you have there. Do the Russian carded boots come up very often and how much would you expect to spend on the diferent characters?

Thanks for sharing.

Don,

I am pretty sure JohnA sold a MOC Russian Yoda bootleg last year. He was asking $150.00 for the figure.


Steven,

Sweet bootleg collection.

 

[Rebojazz]

The Russian Yoda I have came from JohnA so there's an idea of Yoda and Chewie. Vader is more scarce so he will be quite more if I find him. And, as for Bossk... who knows. Only two are known to exist and I know they are locked up so it's hard to tell when another will pop up or how much it will be.

And both Bossk's are different variants if I'm not mistaken.
