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 unpainted belly error
Wicket figures may have been produced in the greatest numbers, so a wider variety of errors and variants exist. This time, a truly unique error was discovered at auction, where the entire belly was left unpainted. It's in stark contrast with the standard releases.

Teebo paint error returns
Seen in these samples, are more Teebo paint errors, where the mouth is painted more like a floating mustache. Back in 2016, I first spotted one of these, accompanied with the unpainted brown nose, and now I've seen a black nose variation to add to the error list. It's interesting to me how many I've been able to uncover, but considering they're handpainted, there could be countless differences floating around among the hundreds that still exist.

Kez-Iban the keychain?!
Not something I ever expected to see for this character, but perhaps keychains do in fact exist for all the Droids & Ewoks characters - because they're slowly being discovered over time. The hole in his head does seem to indicate that the keyring was inserted while the plastic was still warm, so it may have happened during production, before being painted.

Kneesaa: Error on a Variant
Here is a sample of a Kneesaa figure that was up for auction that displays an error (unpainted flower stem) along with the variant purple flower. It's unusual for the figure to be painted so well, while the flower was sloppily done and left unfinished.
