With a little bit of paint I'm quite sure these would be a dream for anyone into making custom figures.  With the wide variety of very small weapons, you can add even more ammo to the theory that Hasbro is gearing the line more towards the collector vs. kids. I can't see any child under eight having the arrows, dagger or sheath after one play session! While the Ewoks were duped into thinking C-3PO was a God, would Star Wars collectors be mentally set back for paying for yet another set?

Click thumbnail for large image The answer to that is a very solid no way! Once you crack that bubble prison and free these furry little beasts, you'll notice a very high concentration of detail that was literally poured into the facial features. The paint job could be as fine as I've ever seen on any figure. The removable headdress and going over board on the weapons was a great touch. The tiny arrows, dagger do suck, but only if you drop them on a shag rug floor! The bow and spear also offer intricate detail and paintwork, which I'm not totally sure but do not recall seeing in other Ewok figures. With the exception of Chief Chirpa but even then they didn't paint the knife and sheath two different colors . Plus they put a spear in our rear because they only gave us one figure!

Click thumbnail for large image If the great paint and weapons as great as an Ewok could offer wasn't enough, the Big H really stepped to the plate and delivered some serious articulation in both these little guys. The feet, wrists, shoulders and waists moving really help create a wide variety of action poses. The only thing they could have done is make the bow and arrow actually shoot! However for two figures so small they really do pack quite the punch. From the toenails to being able to put the arrows into the hands/quiver, this has to be the best set yet, and hopefully they don't go bankrupt and kill the line by offering us two figures in the same package.

Spice - What more could I say? This set completely rocked and even if you weren't a big fan of the army of teddy bears, they are still a very solid pick-up for your collections. We need to see this type of quality every time out!
