Star Wnrs (Lepin) Bootleg Jawa Lego's.

 

The world of bootlegs or knockoffs is an ever evolving and changing evolution of a figure or set. Pictured are bootleg Legos, created by Lepin. These are similar to the Lego brand, but are bootlegged and sold in different Countries, most notably Singapore and Thailand. Note the "Star Wnrs" vice Star Wars in the title of the box and various other misrepresentations in the background picture.

As you can see the box is bigger than the "normal" production one and sharp eyes will note the difference pieces, 219 to 197 as well. The set is still sealed and for now, I have no plans on taking them out and comparing the two sets and individual pieces. This is a nice addition to my collection.

Jawa Bootleg Set (Ugly Buggers)

Pictured are two sets of Bootleg Jawas. Referred to as "Ugly Buggers", these were produced in Thailand and are made of paper and a wood type of material. The eyes are painted and glued to the head, similar to the weapon (white) that is glued to the hand and cannot be removed. The bandolier is painted in black on the chest to mimic the figure from the movie. They vary in color and can be found with and without weapons. Oddly enough, the Gold one is sealed in a clear baggie as this might have been an exclusive for the initial set of four.

Pictured above is a set without weapons. Similar to the ones pictured above, they are made of the same material, but the bandolier seems to be more blended. I have to admit these are very strange, but make a wonderful addition to my Jawa Collection.
