Description

Star Wars Csillagok Háborúja Princess Leia Organa with Green Blaster CAS 70 Loose (unknown, 1987). This Csillagok Háborúja Princess Leia stands as one of the signature figures from Hungary's homegrown Star Wars bootleg line, produced during the late 1980s in a market still starved of Western imports. Sculpted and cast locally, each figure was a hand-assembled interpretation of the galaxy's most iconic heroes, marked by uneven paint application, soft plastic, and regional color experiments. The green blaster inclusion-known among collectors as one of several hue variations seen in Hungarian production-adds an extra layer of individuality to this already distinctive release. Graded CAS 70, with a true numerical score of 72.3, this example is housed in an acrylic display with the green blaster mounted separately to the left of the figure. The layout emphasizes both completeness and contrast, showcasing the improvised artistry that defined these Eastern European releases. More artifact than toy, this Hungarian Leia captures a moment when Star Wars fandom transcended borders and licensing alike. A small, defiant triumph of creativity and persistence, she represents how even in a controlled market, the Rebellion found its way through.
