This set looks great.

I love Teebo because he was the only vintage figure I ever owned as a kid. This one looks more movie accurate and scaled down from the POTJ version. I like the others as well. Is that dark one the one who died or the one that helped Chewie take over the AT ST?

Of course the huge turn off is the price (remember when you could get 2 ewoks for the price of one figure? Not in today's price gouging market :( ). I hope this turns out to be about $10 lower. Otherwise I guess I have that TRU credit I got from the toys I returned that were just sitting in my car trunk. If I remind myself of that, it should hurt less.

I really like this set too. The only Ewok figures I had growing up were Wicket and Logray from the POTF 2-pack of the mid '90s. I never had Teebo, so I like that he is included. My fave is Nanta though, I always wanted a figure of him after watching ROTJ.

Is Nanta(the 2nd one from the left)the one you are talking about? It's been awhile since I saw ROTJ, but I think he was one of the Ewoks that helped Chewie commandeer the AT-ST.

Nanta is the ewok that gets killed. The original picture of this set that was leaked back in February had the fan name "Corpsey" for him. The AT-ST hijacker is named Oochee.

Found this set today along with a Battle of Yavin set. I just picked up the Ewoks. Liking the fact that they come with lots of accessories and interchangeable hoods. I'm also suprised I like the girl Ewok so much even though she ain't in the movie. I gotta admit even though I don't like to rebuy guys that I already have from POTF2, the modern stuff does a good job with furry critters like the Ewoks and Chewbacca. Can't get enogugh of them!

The Yavin back looked good but nothing special. Came with another R5 D4 and Tie Pilot, a couple reused pilot Luke molds (which I always thought were too short for use with anyone but Luke) and a new Porkins who looks slimmer....not as cool as Power of the Jedi Porkins, IMO.

A-Haaaaa....nope. $40. It's high but it comes to $8 per figure which I guess is better than $10 per figure if they were single carded. Would still be nice if you could get two ewoks for the price of one like they did back in the day, but that would fall under the category of toy companies throwing the fan a bone, which they don't do anymore. Still, wouldn't it have been great if this set were $20? I just bit the bullet on this one, don't see too many Star Wars purchases in my future.

Ugh, you guys make me feel torn over whether or not to keep it. Yeah, you saw me try to justify the price a couple of posts up, but still...too expensive. We'll see what I think tomorrow when I get paid....
