In 1986, a company known as Comics Spain produced a line of PVC figures from both of the 1980s Star Wars cartoons: Droids and Ewoks. While the popular toymaker, Kenner, released action figures from these cartoons as well, Comics Spain produced characters that were not made by Kenner and also matched the likeness of each character to their appearance in the cartoon. This blog will explore all the figures that were released, and identify the variations that made their way to the market.

C-3PO: Uncirculated Bootleg
A new addition to the collection - a C-3PO bootleg figure based on the Comics Spain / Disney sculpt. This copy, from a collector in Germany, was described as uncirculated due to its condition. Its been in the same collection since its release, and was never played with. Like most Polish / German C-3PO bootlegs, its made of a teal / green colored rubber, and sports gold and blue highlights. This is the first version I have seen with white pupils for eyes though. Like other bootlegs, it has no copyright markings.
