Dulok

The next figure I'd like to cover is the Comics Spain PVC figure of the Dulok - he isn't a named character, and like the Kenner figure, he is a generic Dulok warrior (comparison picture below). He was produced in 1986, and has no known variations. Since these figures were hand painted, you can often find some differences in the application of the green paint on the ears and tail - and I have seen an error figure with paint on the top of its head. He is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the base of his club. This figure is often found damaged, especially if the previous owner was a child - I have seen figures missing the ears, tail, or even the top of the club. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Ewoks figures, he is increasingly difficult to find (5/5 in rarity), in both the US and abroad. Figures like the Dulok can occasionally be found in sets, but rarely come up at auction.

Latara

The next addition to the archive is the Comics Spain PVC figure of Latara, another one of my favorites and one of only 2 female figures in the line. She was produced in 1986, and has no known variations. I have seen one Latara figure from a private collection that had black paint on the feather, but this was a factory error, rather than any type of real variation. She is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the back of the feather. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Ewok figures, she is marginally difficult to find (3/5 in rarity) in the US, but seems to be more widely available in Europe, and I've seen her up for auction multiple times by herself.

Kez-Iban

I'd like to change gears and cover the Comics Spain PVC figure of Kez-Iban, from the Droids cartoon series. He was produced in 1986, and has no known variations. I have seen a few Kez-Iban figures go up for auction that were missing the hair, but this is not a factory error, rather merely a damaged figure, which is something to watch for if collecting these figures. He is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the back of his skirt. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Droids figures, he is reasonably difficult to find (3/5 in rarity), in both the US and abroad. If you are able to find one, you will most likely find him in a set, but he does show up at auction once in awhile by himself.





Many Star Wars collectors will have seen the Kenner version of this character which is rather large (nearly 5 inches in height), in fact its about an inch taller than the Comics Spain version. As I discussed with the Kenner animated Logray figure, they weren't made in any exact scale. I enjoy owning both versions of this character, and its debatable which version sports the better likeness. As you can see in the comparison photo, my Kenner figure is unfortunately missing his bandoleer, but its easy to see the different way each sculptor went with this character.

Paploo

The next figure I'd like to cover is the Comics Spain PVC figure of Paploo, one of my favorites. He was produced in 1986, and has no known intentional variations - other than various paint errors on the blue feathers. Since these figures were hand painted, you can often find some differences in the application of the black paint on the feathers. He is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the back of his belt. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Ewok figures, he is increasingly difficult to find (5/5 in rarity), in both the US and abroad. I actually spent a few years trying to track one down and ended up getting one from Germany. Figures like Paploo can occasionally be found as singles in Europe, but I have only seen him in sets in the US - and finding a complete set for sale in the US is rather rare in itself.




To show the size difference between Paploo and the other Ewoks, here is a comparison photo with Teebo. As you can see, he is much taller - which puts them in scale to their cartoon appearances - Paploo being an older and larger Ewok. All of the smaller Ewoks are around 2 inches tall, while Paploo measures in at nearly 3 inches.

Teebo 2

As a follow-up to my first post, I wanted to include a comparison shot between a Comics Spain figure (in this case, Teebo) and one of the two Kenner Ewoks that were produced and released for the cartoon, this one being Logray. As you can see, they are roughly the same height - as is the Kenner Wicket figure, that's based on his cartoon appearance. While both of the Kenner Ewoks and the Comics Spain figures are all roughly of the same size, Kenner decided to scale Logray down - his proper height should be closer to that of the Comics Spain Paploo figure (which will be shown in the next entry). Overall though, the Ewoks from both companies look very nice together.

Teebo

The first addition to this blog and photo archive is the Comics Spain PVC figure of Teebo. He was produced in 1986, and has no known variations. I have seen a few Teebo figures go up for auction that were missing the feather, but this is not a factory error, rather merely a damaged figure, which is something to watch for if collecting these figures. He is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the back of the feather. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Ewok figures, he is marginally difficult to find (4/5 in rarity), in both the US and abroad. If you are able to find one, you will most likely find him in a set, rather than alone.
