R2-D2 mystery "bootleg" solved?

Another reader was nice enough to write in and mention that she picked up a figure lot on ebay that contained both Comics Spain and Disney Star Tours pvc figures, which also had a white R2-D2 figure included (that is nearly identical to the one seen in the previous post). After some research, they turned out to be from the same seller, yet the figures themselves were slightly different. Now we know that at least two of these "bootlegs" exist, but I actually wouldn't define them as such, because there has been no real indication that they were produced for re-sale, and might in fact be customs. The figure itself is made of a hard material, most likely a resin, as air bubble holes are present on the figure. It's also interesting to note that both samples have some type of cardboard glued to the feet, leading be to believe they were glued down to another surface, and torn off before being listed at auction. Still no origin and reason why they were created, but the crude construction leaves me with little doubt that these are customs, not bootlegs, and surely not prototypes.
