In 1986, a company known as Comics Spain produced a line of PVC figures from both of the 1980s Star Wars cartoons: Droids and Ewoks. While the popular toymaker, Kenner, released action figures from these cartoons as well, Comics Spain produced characters that were not made by Kenner and also matched the likeness of each character to their appearance in the cartoon. This blog will explore all the figures that were released, and identify the variations that made their way to the market.

Wicket
The last character to add to this blog and photo archive (but certainly not the last blog entry) is the Comics Spain PVC figure of Wicket. He was produced in 1986, and has multiple variations, three that are known and documented (which will be discussed in a follow-up blog entry). Wicket also received a similar figure from the Disney / Star Tours line which will be covered later. He is marked "1986 LFL Comics Spain" on the back of his cape. Compared to all the other Comics Spain Ewok figures, he is easy to find (1/5 in rarity), in both the US and abroad - mostly because he was produced in larger numbers and is the most recognizable Ewok character.
