There are five figures in this set, each articulated at the shoulders only. The paint jobs are so-so, and the level of detail is down, as you'd expect from an enlarged copy.
The backboards are slightly smaller than the "standard" size for Episode one figures - so the bubble that contains the figures covers most of the artwork on the font.
The card art also lacks any of the character images or collection numbering that Kenner places on it's licensed releases.
At right we have an image of the back of these bootlegs.
The bootleggers have even gone to the extent of assigning this batch a UPC bar code in the lower right.
The center of the card is taken up with product shots of the five figures in this set - although the text along the top of the card reads
It's interesting to note that the Anakin Skywalker figure in this set isn't the "standard" bootleg from the 3.5" figures, but rather the Podracer Anakin pack-in from the boxed vehicle set.
Each figure (except for Annie) comes with an accessory - Jar Jar with his stick, and the Jedi with black lightsabers.
Both Ben and Quigon are now dressed in white robes - an interesting color choice. And Jar Jar looks like he's got a touch of the albino in him now. Also note Mr. Jar's hot pink feet.
