Pretty sure I sold off my 2012 versions of these, so will gladly pick them up on the new cardback.

For just simple repaints, I really dig these. This set is such a cool nod to Star Wars & Kenner history. Hopefully we will see some fully packaged images soon. I wonder if the two-pack packaging will be similar to the Zuckuss & 4-LOM CV exclusive set? I’d be down for more figures from this sun-line, whether that is Logray, other Ewoks, or all new tooling on some other Ewoks figures. The packaging style is really neat. I went ahead and preordered two.
The Ewoks & Droids cartoons were before my time, but I’ve been watching them on Disney+ lately. I’m not sure how well they stand the test of time for those of us who don’t have any nostalgia associated with them… but I’ve still found some enjoyment in them. The theme song sure gets stuck in your head, and not ina good way. My wife and I randomly will start singing it to each other.
