Star Wars Uzay Death Star Droid CAS 70+ Loose (Uzay, 1988)....

Description

Star Wars Uzay Death Star Droid CAS 70+ Loose (Uzay, 1988). Few figures capture the gleaming strangeness of Turkey's Uzay line quite like the Death Star Droid. Produced around 1988 as part of the country's unlicensed adaptation of Kenner's Star Wars figures, this metallic misfit showcases the hallmarks of Uzay craftsmanship: a hand-applied vacuum-metalized finish, slight asymmetry in the sculpting, and bold, uneven black paint used to define the eyes and mouthplate. Each figure was cast and assembled under local production conditions, resulting in individualized surface textures and tonal variations that make every example subtly unique. Graded CAS 70+, with a true numerical score of 73.8, this piece is displayed in a crystal-clear acrylic case that allows its full chrome-like luster to stand out. For collectors, the Uzay Death Star Droid represents the perfect paradox: an unlicensed imitation that has become a symbol of authenticity within the world of Star Wars bootlegs. It's both a reflection of Kenner's legacy and a celebration of Turkey's fearless reinterpretation-a mirror of the Empire, distorted but unforgettable.
