Description

Star Wars Csillagok Háborúja Princess Leia Organa with Black Blaster CAS 65 Loose (unknown, 1987). Emerging from the same underground production wave that gave us Hungary's infamous Csillagok Háborúja line, this unlicensed Princess Leia figure captures the raw, improvised artistry of Eastern Bloc bootlegs. Crafted during the late 1980s when official Kenner toys were inaccessible behind the Iron Curtain, these figures were made using inexpensive materials and local casting techniques-yielding off-model proportions, softer plastics, and unpredictable paintwork. Though far removed from their Western counterparts in polish, they represent a heartfelt, homegrown manifestation of Star Wars fandom's global reach. Graded CAS 65 with a True Grade of 67.3, this example is displayed in a Collector Archive Services acrylic case with its black blaster mounted separately beside the figure, accentuating completeness and contrast against the pale costume. As one of the few "royal" figures to emerge from a galaxy far outside Kenner's empire, this Hungarian Leia carries both rarity and rebellion in her sculpt. For collectors who appreciate the creative persistence of fans under restriction, she's not just a bootleg-she's a testament to Star Wars' power to inspire light in even the most unlikely places.
