Wicket would have been a serious disappointment at regular price. Little tiny guy with a bunch of molded unpainted weapons to fill out the box. He’s fine. He’s Wicket, he looks good. He’s small and engineered weird, though. One of his elbows is that kind of single joint deep detent that you know is gonna break the arm before the joint bends. No knees. Too small for knees. But sometimes you need an Ewok and this Ewok was on sale.
Similarly, the Rebel Commando was a huge NOPE at the inexplicably deluxe figure price of $35. It’s a very good figure, but a big backpack, a few guns, and an extra face do not aa $10 premium make. He was also on clearance, though, so well worth it at what I paid. I’m going with the beardy face option, though - the generic dude is toobland.
Of course, now that I’ve pre-ordered a Rebel Trooper from A New Hope that they’re rereleasing, I clearly need a Hoth Trooper to have one from each movie. Luckily those are very reasonable, below retail even, on the secondary market.
