Description

Star Wars Articulated Polish Bootleg AT-AT Driver CAS 80+ Loose (Evanplast, 1989-2003). Among Polish bootleg Star Wars figures, AT-AT Driver is one of the characters with the widest range of known production variations. Examples are documented in multiple molded color combinations, most commonly with a white torso and grey or blue limbs, along with differences in painted chest details and helmet markings across later runs. That built-in variation gives the character a more active place in the Evanplast sequence than a standard character carryover, especially for collectors tracking the subtleties within Polish articulated production. CAS awarded the figure an 80+ grade, with a True Grade of 83.3, and it includes a Statement of Archival. On examples like this, and across other Polish bootleg productions, the paint application can border on childish and gloriously chaotic, exactly the sort of accidental signature that gives these figures their personality.

More Information: Polish Bootlegs – Series 4 Gen 2 (Evanplast):
Polish Bootleg Series 4 Gen 2 refers to the later articulated production continued under the Evanplast name from approximately 1989 into the early 2000s. During this transition, limb joints changed from conical to rounded ball-style pegs, improving torso connection and serving as the primary indicator of later-generation figures. The loss of the Barada torso mold reduced the character count from 20 to 19. Later figures were sold both carded and loose, sometimes on smaller square cards or on packaging shared with other Evanplast toy lines. Weapons in this period were typically produced in black plastic. Surviving overstock and unused production pieces from this era have contributed significantly to modern collector understanding of the line.
