Overview
The Ewok & White Porg Holiday Edition 2-Pack is the third of six Holiday Edition 2-packs in the 2023 series, released in October 2023 as a Fan Channel exclusive. Fan Channel exclusive at $27.99. The Ewok is a repaint of the 2020 Black Series Paploo (figure id=25856) in a seasonal colour scheme. A white Porg accompanies. Pack #3 of 6 in the 2023 Holiday Edition series — described as among the more likable Holiday figures released in the Black Series 6” line.
The Four-Accessory Loadout
Spear — fits well into the Ewok’s hands. The details on the spear look nice. Standard two-hand melee weapon grip.
Headdress — can be taken off, but it’s a very tight fit and it will take a while to get it off. Functional but patience required for headdress removal/replacement cycles.
Chest — previously released with the Black Series Maz Kanata figure and the Clone Trooper Halloween Edition. A repurposed accessory that adds display variety.
Removable belt — the belt can be moved down the legs to get it off the figure. The knife is sculpted onto the belt and is not removable separately.
The Mix-and-Match Engineering
Because this Ewok figure is a repaint of Paploo, it’s possible to mix and match the headdress — so you can change up your Ewoks on display if you want. This is the Holiday Edition Ewok’s most distinctive collector-utility detail: the headdress swapping compatibility with other Ewok releases (both Paploo and other Ewok character releases) allows display variety without additional acquisitions. For collectors who display multiple Ewok figures, the Holiday Ewok’s headdress is an additional display-variety component.
The Photo-Real Face
The Ewok was given the photo-real deco on the face — the pixelation of the print is unnoticeable in person. A specific quality-assurance positive: photo-real prints on small-scale character faces can sometimes show visible pixelation at display viewing distance, and the Ewok Holiday Edition avoids this.
Articulation
15 joints — ball-jointed top and lower neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, ball-jointed knees, ball-jointed ankles. The Ewok stands securely on display without falling over.
Verdict
Ewok & White Porg Holiday Edition 2-Pack earns its “among the more likable Holiday figures” designation through a combination of factors — four functional accessories, mix-and-match headdress compatibility with other Ewok releases, clean photo-real face print, and a seasonal character concept that maps naturally onto the Ewok’s canonical forest-dwelling aesthetic. The headdress is very tight to remove. Fan Channel exclusive, October 2023, Pack #3 of 6.
