These Turkish knockoff Star Wars action figures have actually become a big hit with avid collectors, and I must admit they do have a certain crappy charm about them.
Maybe it's the colorful renaming of characters (see: Head Man), or maybe it's the new packaging photos (the Imperial Gunner looks like he's playing with a giant calculator). Aw heck, it's the whole darn 99 cent store looking package!
Thanks, Turkey, for showing us just how good our action figures really are, and how nowadays even crappy knockoffs can create a niche in the collector's market.

They are not true knock offs. They were made from old molds of the originals. This is still common to find knock offs of action figures In the dollar stores or flea markets, today. The molds became worn after so many pressings, and we're sold off to another manufacture.
