Craignwo4life's bootleg collection!! (In Memory of Craig)

Bumped for posterity

Great idea mate.

Definitely worth seeing again

What a impressive Bootleg collection there! 8)

Nice Polish bootlegs you got there Craig. Loving the 3rd Gen Fetts.

God they are bonkers.

That Leia looks crazy - what a great collection and it's great that the pictures can live on even though the owner is sadly no longer with us

I was just thinking - Leia's never looked so good! The orange Chewie, maybe not so much...

A wonderful collection nonetheless!

The Weequay looks like he knows he's a bootleg and is waiting for trading standards to appear :?

:lol:

They're ace, didn't know there were multi-coloured bootlegs!

Never saw a chewbacca bootleg or stormtrooper bootleg with a cape! Thanks for showing

The Orange Chewy is a clear message to kids NOT to get involved with Meth!! Awesome collection

sweet collection love the poker cape chewbacca

that was an ace collection, love the variety of bootlegs

Haha brilliant! My friend loves customs and repro figures! Do you have a link to where to buy these figures?

ThankyouKenner- Are you referring to bootlegs as repros? There is a world of difference between the two if so!

Bootleg are vintage era copies of licensed figures that were usually produced by companies in countries where kids had no access to the originals (or couldn't afford them). Due to their weird and wonderful colour schemes, paint jobs or sculpts they are rarely confused for original figures.

Repros on the other hand are modern day imitations that often fool new collectors. This kind of stuff: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-STYLE-STAR-WARS-CUSTOM-STAR-WARS-POTF-YODA-RECARD-92-BACK-/121801166784?hash=item1c5bea4fc0:g:5a0AAOSw9mFWMoTT

Sorry as a new collector I am a bit hazy on the area and have been corrected on another posting already! I mean bootleg!

Interesting

Thanks to a tip from Richard_H I have rescued Craig's images from Photobucket. I can only add 10 per post so here are the rest:

Excellent to see these back. Good work Edd
