Custom Ewoks Movie Figures

Custom Ewoks Movie Figures

Etsy

3D printing has made Etsy a wonderland for all things geek, especially action figure fans with holes in their collections.  It can be tricky to navigate, coming up with just the right search words, but you never know what you can find until you try.  Take these custom Ewoks movie figures for example...

Don't let Disney's canon wipe get you down, true fans.  The Battle for Endor still stands as the best Star Wars spin-off movie so far, even with visible zippers on the furball suits!  The Dis made a partial dream come true by including Teek and mystic Ewok, Kaink, in one of their Star Tours figure sets.  But that wasn't enough for me.  Or for an Esty store in the Czech Republic (Two Mirrorz store), apparently.  More Woklings!  Wicket's mom and sister!  Cindel Towani!

Hasbro has only released one Wokling (Nippet was a pack-in with Leektar), and that's been a good 14 years ago!  Here, you get three different sculpts, all fully painted, for $18.  $6 a Wokling may sound steep, but just look at them...can you deny the original "Baby Yodas?"  

You can save a few bucks by going in on a bundle deal with Shodu and baby Winda.  They scale great with Hasbro Ewoks.  And just check out the paint detail on those eyes!  Wicket's family is getting bigger, but still a few members short of completion.  

At least he has someone to play with now...Cindel Towani!   Sure, she has no articulation, but she's perfect.  The curly ringlets of hair are amazing.  $20 painted isn't so bad, considering I was thinking of butchering/repurposing an Episode 1 kid Anakin figure to undoubtedly mixed results. I'm so glad to have her next to Wicket and Teek.

In-action figures, sure, but great stand-ins for characters that may never be produced anyway. I hope to see a few more Ewoks figures soon, especially Noah Briqualon and Chukha-Trok.  I also hope that 3D printing can push a little further into the forgotten areas of a galaxy far, far away....

Come back soon, I'll be waiting!


Until then, have a look back a my large Ewok army!
