| Team, Just received my first Polish bootleg Stormtrooper. The seller went on holiday during the transaction and to compensate this time added a weapon to the figure. (without me asking for it btw) However i don't want to display the two together since the weapon doesn't look correct to me It's much 'newer', much more detailed and without any wear, besides having 2 small 'factory holes??'. Can someone pls check which weapon this is and confirm my believe these are not related? Any possibility to identify this weapon correctly, it's made from very flexible plastic/rubber. thx!!! |

| Thx for validating, no clue what weapon it could be either, I'll just store it for now. I've paid E13,93 incl shipping from Poland to the Netherlands, fair enough for me since i really wanted this silver / black Stormie. - emperorburns wrote:

daren EDIT; Found several listings on Ebay with this exact same weapon. Listed as 80's Star Wars vintage polish bootleg weapon. Doubtful if they really are. |

| Yea, it's a 3rd gen polish GI Joe mold blaster. They go for a few bucks themselves. Glad you like your stormy. |

| Wow guys! I don't know how I missed this thread!!! I just spent most of my morning reading through the whole thing! Not only excellent information in here, but just some fantastic photos! I can't wait for the guide to come out!!! I do have a question about the Deluxe Rebel Commando rifle though. Is there a photo of it? I've always wanted to pick up the deluxe series, but now that I know there's a Commando rifle with them, I'm definitely going to have to! |

| Hey Chris, The Commando rifle has a complicated story. It was produced only within the deluxe series, but there was no such figure as deluxe Rebel Commando. The rifle - with cut belt - was attached, together with a blaster, to the figure of deluxe At-At Driver. Here you have the picture of it: Cheers, Jakub. |

Cheers, Jakub. Awesome Jakub!!! That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Honestly, this is the first I've heard about the rifle. After reading your wonderful information. I've always been curious about the Deluxe figures, but now I'm definitely going to have to go after them! Is there any color variants with the rifle? Or is just black? Has this rifle shown up equally with the other weapon for the Deluxe AT-AT Driver? Or is one harder to find than the other? |

| Only one color - blak. Quite flexible, soft rubber. Strange choice, since the other three deluxe figures had their proper accesories... |

| From Rebelscum forum to this forum...so what do I miss out.
GanjaFett super awesome Fett collection. A lovely set I must say. Kudos.
Been collecting modern POTF2 Boba Fett and I've decided to start on with the vintage bootleg. Recently, I just scored my very first Polish bootleg figure. It's a 1st gen Boba Fett from Jakub. Got a good deal from him and can't wait for the figure to arrive.
Guess it won't stop with one figure as I'll hunt down the rest of the variations as time goes by. |

| Guys, New items arrived to my colletion! Let me introduce you: I am specially proud of the translucent rubber Stormtrooper. Possibly the only one existed? We know about several Scouts molded from this material, but the Stormy is presented in this form for the first time. Also have some great doubles for sale, will make a thread soon! Jakub |

| Jakub, do you have any pics of the Biker Scouts or have any? I'd like to see a picture of one. I'm assuming these are casted from a 2nd gen figure or something? |
