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 Key Ring: Found!
The arguably most popular Ewok, Wicket, has yet to have a key ring from the Comics Spain line surface - until now. An auction out of Japan is the first sample of the Wicket key ring I have seen to date. The asking price - over $1,000 USD. Comics Spain figures, as well as their key ring incarnations have never achieved such a sum that I am aware of. Considering Wicket is the main character of the series, this is surely not a one of a kind piece.
C-3PO: The Stories He Could Tell
I've seen some Comics Spain figures in bad condition over the years, but these C-3POs take the cake. Both mangled and mistreated, but they still found their way to auction! Its often difficult to find Comics Spain figures with a perfect paint application or lack of blemishes, but no need to settle for this condition.
