Prequel Bootlegs- un-articulated 6pcs set

Here is a set of bootleg figures from the prequel era. 

These 6 figures have NO articulation whatsoever. The Clone Trooper is a single solid piece where the other figures are glued together at the waist so as to be able to have cloaks or capes. Each figure is numbered 1-6 on the rear of each figure in the actual molding. Padme's gun has the same number as her figure. Darth Vader and his detachable cape both have the same number. The Dark Side figures have separate lightsabers while the Light Side figures have the Lightsabers molded to the figures. The 2 guns are detailed with silver giving them a nicer look. All figure have a single stand hole on the right foot.
 #1 Darth Vader Technically Vader was not Vader till Episode III but seems to be included in almost every bootleg collection.
 Vader's eyes are painted silver dots. Chest controls are Silver and Red
You can see the #1 above the belt buckle. 
Silly production notes: Vader's Belt seems to facing backwards.
Peg hole on the back for the detachable cape. The shoulders of the cape are detailed with Silver dots. 
Detail on his Lightsaber. Looks more like the Prequel Obi-Wan saber hilt.
 Padme #2. This is based on an Episode I figure of Padme from the battle on her home planet of Naboo. Terrible paint job.
 #2 upside down on the inside of her cape. 
 #2 visible on the butt of the gun. I assume this was for matching the accessories to the correct figure. The scope of the gun is detailed with Silver paint.

#3 Darth Maul. His character existed only in Episode I. He has a Red face with brighter Red horns.
 #3 on his right shoulder.
Detail on the Lightsaber looks authentic to the real thing. 
 #4 Qui-Gon Jinn. His character was exclusively in Episode I.
 #4 is upside down on his back.
Here you can see the the Lightsabers are molded to the figures.
 #5 Obi-Wan Kenobi. This figure of Obi has his Padawan Braid so this would be an Episode I figure.
#5 is on the rear right shoulder.
 #6 Clone Trooper. Clones were not introduced until Episode II.
 #6 is on his butt.
 Figures are poorly painted but the Red logo on the helmet is highly detailed. 
 All figures only have stand holes on the right foot. 
Weapon is nicely detailed with silver paint.
