Star Wars Uzay Chewbacca CAS 80 Loose (Uzay, 1988)....

Description

Star Wars Uzay Chewbacca CAS 80 Loose (Uzay, 1988). Produced in Turkey by Uzay in 1988, this bootleg Chewbacca figure captures the unmistakable form of Han Solo's loyal co-pilot through the idiosyncratic lens of Turkish toy production. Like other Uzay figures, it was molded in regionally sourced plastic and hand-painted, resulting in small but distinctive variations from piece to piece. This example has been graded CAS 80, with a true numerical score of 82.1. Encased in a crystal-clear display, this Chewbacca stands as a quintessential artifact from one of the most imaginative international Star Wars bootleg lines ever produced. It embodies the unpolished creativity and regional personality that make Uzay figures so beloved among advanced collectors-a Wookiee whose roar echoes not from Kashyyyk, but from the inventive toy workshops of late-'80s Istanbul.
