Thought I’d introduce the Ewoks to the blog, and there’s no
better place to start than with good old Wicket! Ewoks are a part of Star Wars
I’ve always had a fondness for; they’re cute, and well contained mostly to one
part of the story.
The Vintage Collection’s take on Wicket is highly impressive
for a figure of this size. He’s got a lot of movement, though not as much as
Logray, and comes with a cool extra hood as well. The hood is the green one he
wore in the Ewoks cartoon, which was a clever pack-in on Hasbro’s part.
Star Wars toys of today are highly impressive to me most of
the time, but for the quality they provide they are priced to match. This is
the problem with Wicket here. Sadly, it feels hard sometimes to pay $10 for
such a small figure that still doesn’t come with much, even as a collector.
Although Wicket is a must have for someone like me, the prices of figures today
makes me feel very choosey.
Prices aside, Hasbro’s done a great job with the modern Ewok
figures, and I’m just glad they’re making as many as they are.
