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.

C-3PO base color revealed!
Some collectors have often speculated what the base color is for the gold C-3PO figure released by Comics Spain, and whether they were simply repainted copies of the standard yellow figure. From the well worn sample seen below, it appears that the base color was actually different, a light pink or even flesh tone. A number of years ago, another sample surfaced of the same color, with no paint, so it could have been chemically stripped. The same may have been true for the solid yellow samples that have come to market.

While all of these originated in Spain, its interesting to note that both Wicket key rings were discovered in Japan.
