Hasbro will eventually make Ewoks Romba, Warok, and Lumat!
In JediTricks’ question round up I read the following:
Yakface.com: have heard for a long time that Hasbro has shied away from doing more than a few Ewoks since among Star Wars fans there has been much Ewok bashing due to their “cuteness” factor. I haven’t counted recently, but I believe there are only about 5-7 different Ewoks ever made (not counting generic ewoks including the one with that globe thing several years ago and whoever came with the glider). I believe we also still have at least three vintage Ewoks (Warok, Lumat & Paploo) that have never been remade. I know I have read repeated requests/suggestions on various collector sites for a mother ewok & wokling and other prevoiusly non-sculpted ewoks. I say all this as background for 2 questions: 1). Is it true that Hasbro backs away from doing several different ewoks? [and if so, how have sales been for ewoks?] 2). Can we someday expect to see the previously mentioned vintage ewoks (including the freeze frame Wicket & Logray) figures resculpted?
Hasbro: We love Ewoks. While these guys may have once been on the low-end of the desire scale, that’s certainly not the case any more and collectors overall seem to have a good appreciation for these furry fiends. What could it be? Is it that there is new respect for Ewoks, based on calm reflection over the years? That these guys might be pretty nasty underneath the fur since they were planning to roast and eat their captives? That we have granted them more respect with hindsight because they did, after all, have plans in place that led to the defeat of a whole garrison of the Empire’s best? Or because the collector ranks have been swelled with legions of now-grown kids who fell under Return’s spell as “their” Star Wars? Whatever the reasons, you’ll see more Ewoks, delivered a little at a time, and eventually we’ll do the remaining ones.
The Ewoks would go along way towards updating EVERY vintage figure ever made that is left to be updated!ANH:
