The most famous resident of the Bright Tree Village scouted his way back into The Vintage Collection in 2020. This reissue of Wicket captures the brave Ewok as he first appeared to Princess Leia in the forests of Return of the Jedi. While the character has seen many iterations, this "Greatest Hits" refresh utilized the definitive 2010 sculpt but benefited from modernized production standards, ensuring the Rebellion’s small-but-mighty ally looks as organic as the Endor moon itself.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Ewok Silhouette: The sculpt is a masterclass in miniature detailing, featuring a complex fur texture that covers the entire body. Despite its small 3.75-inch scale, the figure captures Wicket's stocky, rounded proportions and the curious, expressive tilt of his head.
- Deco & Realistic Fur: The 2020 release features a multi-toned paint application to simulate natural fur patterns. The dark brown base is layered with lighter tan highlights on the face and chest, providing a depth that avoids a "plastic" look. The glossy black eyes are sharp and lively, reflecting Wicket’s inquisitive nature.
- Articulation: Featuring surprising articulation for its size, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and hips. The swivel wrists and ball-jointed neck are essential for this figure, allowing Wicket to look up at his much taller Rebel friends or to be posed brandishing his spear against an unsuspecting Scout Trooper.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "scout" for any Battle of Endor or Ewok Village diorama. He is best positioned offering a snack to Princess Leia (VC02) or hiding in the brush near an AT-ST Raider.
Accessories & Equipment
Wicket comes prepared for a guerrilla war against the Empire. He includes his signature wooden spear and a stone-tipped cowl, both featuring realistic "primitive" textures. A standout feature of the 2020 release is the removable hood; the soft-plastic accessory fits perfectly over his head and shoulders, featuring a weathered, stitched appearance. Additionally, he includes his scout bag with a cross-body strap and a small stone knife that fits into a tiny, functional sheath on his belt, ensuring he is fully equipped for a long trek through the woods.
