Quigon on card This is yet another nameless bootleg in the huge pile of Star Wars: Episode I knock offs.

This particular bootleg set offers Kenner 3.5" action figures - scaled up to an impressive 10" height. Perhaps these are the smaller cousins of the 12"-14" figures reviewed at The Undiscovered Playthings.

The figures come on an enlarged Anakin Skywalker card, although all copyrights, CommTech ads, and collector series information have been removed.

The figures come with the same accessories as their smaller cousins, and are blistered to the backers in form fitting bubbles.

Like most Epsiode One bootlegs that have surfaced to date, the back of the packaging also has full color printing on it.

card back There are six characters shown:

Three of these characters have been located in this scale, but I would hazard a guess that all of characters pictured were produced. Missing from the lineup of Kenner's Collection One are the Battle Droid, Padme, and C-3PO.

Also shown on the backboard is the CommTech reader ad from the Kenner packaging.

Overall, not that exciting of a bootleg line, although the detail and painting operations were done with a reasonable degree of accuracy for a change. Below you'll find details of two of the other figures in this line, Anakin and Jar Jar
