Daren, for the last card it's a square bubble which is almost the same like POTF2 line.
Figure are in pastel green which comes with Han Solo blaster & jetpack in black.
For the Chinese writing it means Star Wars in Mandarin.

Aah, the thrill of knowing that something is on it's way. I'm usually driving around to hijack the mail truck before it gets to my house but I guess that's frowned upon. lol!

It's really refreshing to see someone with an eye and appreciation for the details of the modern bootlegs. I admittedly don't have that eye. It's likely that you are accumulating a knowledge that no one or few have. If you have the wherewithal to document these variants in some sort of a way that can be easily digested by someone else in the future down the road, the hobby as a whole would benefit from it.

Much respect!

I have a set of these Stormtroopers myself. There have been a few good discussions about them here and on RS. The problem is I'm not sure these even should be catagorized as "bootlegs" in the hobby sense. In my opinion these are more of high output customs as that is what they were originally produced as, small numbers sold as custom figures. It wasn't until they were packaged and sold on Ebay that people started calling them bootlegs. The funny thing is there is actually copyright dates on the packaging which I wonder how they got away with that. The guy who made these figures also made some nice custom Rocket Fetts (didn't know if you knew that or not) which turned into another whole fiasco. You have a nice set there though, mine came in all bent up from the flemsy envelope it came in Wink.

The white ones are COPIES/FAKE, and can't be classified as anything else. They are being used on a large scale for recards and on fake cards as well as being
sold in that 2-pack.
The black ones, sure, customs, why not, they never came as black back in the day, so they are easy enough to not be confused with anything else.

Wonder why the community has become silent on this matter...

Just received these two POTF2 bootlegs that I didn't know existed.  A Luke Farmboy and R2D2 on GC Luke Stormy photo.  These two were not on any variant list I have and don't recall ever seeing any.  That's what I like about this line, never know what you'll find.

Here's another addition, four POTF2 Bendums on unpunched cards. Other than these I'm really not sure what other characters are out there, if anyone knows of any others feel free to chime in.

I don't know of any additional Bend-Ems characters on that Luke Stormtrooper card, but I know there are 2 versions of that card. I have 2 Vaders. One has a printed UPC and Kenner logo on the back and the other doesn't.

Yea, my Vader and Han have the UPC bars and Luke and Chewie do not. I was told by a couple other collectors that these are the only four.

Has anyone else seen these modern "Clone Wars" bootlegs from China?  I've seen 5-6 different ones so far.  The packaging is pretty cool and right up to par with the original card with the exception of the circled registered trademarks next to the names.  They all are on Clone Trooper cards.  I haven't seen them till recently but would like to get some, there is a current seller who has them but the shipping is outrageous.

Any thoughts?
