This one is for collectors 
During mid-80's, a Turkish toy company produced some bootleg Star Wars figures under the name "Uzay Savascilari" (Space Fighters in English).
In later years, these figures became so rare and eventually their value increased in time. The Hoth Trooper in blue color was an interesting one.
I guess the most valuable one is the "Headman" figure, which has the head of a (golden) Royal Guard and an unidentified body.
Here is a link:

Do any of you guys have these figures?

I have a few of these figures including Headman. I also have Stormtrooper, Tie-Pilot and AtAt Driver. I even have an AtAt Driver unpainted torso and Darth Vaders limbs, these were just parts that were left at the factory after it closed. Headman was a real chore to find... and costly.
Cheers,
Steven

I've been collecting and researching these for a while now. I'm still on the lookout for Snowtrooper, Chewbacca, Vader, R2D2 and Gunner... and of course Blue Stars. A friend of mine owns most of the factory molds used to produce these... they are quite amazing. I have some pics of them as well. Other than Headman, I purchased my other ones from a collector in Turkey.
Just a bit of history on these: They were produced by SB Products in the mid 1980's. The blue Snowtrooper you refer to is "Blue Stars" and is probably the most sought after bootleg around. I remember seeing one in a Toyshop catalog for $55 (US) back in 1995... boy I should have bought it! Headman is an Emperors Royal Guard molded in black plastic, however with different limbs like you said, with a gold helmet. He is also supposed to have a medival shield and sword but they are HARD to find. As for finding one still in it's package... don't bet on it. Only one is known to exist and he is not going anywhere  . There was supposed to be a second one that was actually taken out of the factory with this one but it's been missing in action for about 10 years now.
Other than Blue Stars and Headman, the others are blatent rip-off's of the original Kenner figures. Look quite similar but the quality is not there.

Hmm, that'll be great Pyross. Here in English report and Turkish one for yildizsavaslari.com forums or maybe website...
By the way, years ago, my brother's got a headman. But unfourtunatly, I "killed" it  (blow his head off with a toy gun)

If you guys need help let me know. I'm doing a collecting panel at JediconWV on bootlegs and my Uzay's will be there. I also have several contacts in which I can get photo's of figures and cards and possibly the factory molds (if he'll let me use his photo's ) I have the pics of the molds but I need to get permission to use them. They have never been made public before so that should be pretty cool.
