1/6 Hot Toys: WICKET the Ewok - Return of the Jedi

[dukefett]

Pooh was 175 at some retailers overseas. I could see wicket being $225

Pooh didn't get a US release so he didn't get the Sideshow price bump; he'd be $225 I bet. I truly hope they do a 2 pack with Leia and Wicket. If it came with a log piece for them to sit on that'd be incredible.

No offense, but that's pretty crazy. Log has been one of the most highly desired HT pieces for years. No way they just throw it in with some other figures. Everyone wants a log.

Everyone: “I hate Ewoks.”

Also everyone: “OMG WICKET INSTANT PREORDER.”

Lol I love this Wicket I hope it goes up for PO. ASAP.

Exactly....

This is why a Jar Jar will also sell...

Although Jar Jar is a thousand times worse than Wicket

It’s better than bad, it’s good.

Definitely wouldn't buy a Jar Jar, but I'd be interested in seeing how he turns out at least.

I wouldn't either. Would prefer they don't spend valuable R&D time and expense there.

Probably too much of a risk for HT I would say.

Watch them bring him out at the next con now.

Hard saying if they’d actually do Jar Jar or not. He’s not the most loved character by a long shot, but I feel like they’d maybe do a version of him still. Like him or hate him he’s a memorable part of the prequels and especially Episode I.

He's an okay design if not made to look too dumb. The other gungans looked much better but of course the movie got the slapstick fool.

The different bases don't suggest the likelihood of a two pack with Leia.

Luke's base is different again, half way between the style of Leia's and Wicket's:

I wish I could unsee him and all the gungans... I really don’t like those cgi aliens. The worst however was Dexter Jettster (that whole scene was terrible)- a complete departure from the OT alien feel. I appreciate that the new movies are more true to the OT practical effects aliens.

 

[Wor-Gar]

There were so many indulgences in the PT to Lucas himself: Dex's Graffiti diner, Papanoidia, his daughter, Jett, etc...

But I don't find the Gungans any worse than the Ewoks truthfully. At least the Gungans had tech so I believed they could fight.

Dunno, I was eight and loved the Ewoks... even if I now see why they can be considered ‘problematic’. But at least they are aesthetically in line with other aliens like wookies and Jawas.

Yikes

Ewoks even did the same "Ah-eeh-ya!" cry as the Jawas, lol.

With jar jars legendary status as possibly the most hated character of all time I could see him selling well just because of that fact. I mean think of all the hilarious and sadistic poses and fun you could have with him. Could be cathartic
