This bootleg isn't one I've seen personally - although I do have a set on order from Gonzalo.

Darth Maul on Card At left is yet another Darth Maul figure from Star Wars: Episode One. Except, of course, that this is an evil Bootleg Maul. (Bet you didn't see that one coming, eh?)

This set of bootlegs come on oversized reproductions of the Kenner backboards. The figures are 5" tall, a significant change from the liscened 3.5" originals.

The cards are only slightly wider, the majority of the new scale coming from a stretching of the area above the character photo.

There are six figures in this set:

This is most of the Collection One with the subtraction of Jar-Jar, the Battle Droid, and Padme. (Not that I particularly wanted to see another Jar-Jar bootleg, mind you.)

Card Backer Each figure comes with at least some of their original accessories.

At right is a detail of the reverse of the backer for this series.

The catalog shot at the bottom of the card shows the entire set of Collection one figures, and the CommTech Reader add in the center appears to be unchanged.

The art at the top of the card is all new, and is made up of the character shots of the toys in this set. These images orignally came on the front of the individual backers - but since this set follow the bootleg standard of "one card for the set", this is the only place they appear.

Be sure to note that C-3PO has been mis-identified as Battle Droid!

Below are detail photos of the toys in this set.
