Major Variants
*First Day of Issue foil stickers were added to assortments of The Legacy Collection Wave 1 and The Clone Wars Wave 1 figures. Each figure exists with and without the sticker. Also, the “Star Wars” logo on the front of the FDOI cards has a metallic finish.
*The artwork on the cards was altered soon after the initial release. At first, the stormtrooper lenses were black. Shortly after, it was changed to blue.
Notes
*You can argue that Nippet is not a figure, but rather is an accessory, as he has no articulation. But since he has a name, I’m calling this a 2-pack!
*These figures represent the only characters in this wave never to have set foot on Tatooine.
* The head will pop off the neck and stay inside the hood. The two pieces can be separated, but it is difficult to do accomplish this.
*The “BD” numbering system is the abbreviation for “Build-a-droid”. This figure comes with the body of R4-D6.

A strange choice for this wave, which is mostly from Tatooine. Even Darth Vader (BD8) was born on Tatooine!
There is decent articulation on Leektar, for such a small figure. He has no knees or elbows, but his size makes this less than necessary. Nippet is a tiny statue. As such, for those who care, there will be a debate as to whether or not this is really an action figure or just an accessory. As he was given a name, and is part of this 2-pack, I consider the wokling an individual figure. Screw you if you don’t agree!
The painting is simple, compromising monochromatic fur, with toes/fingers/nails and face details painted differently. Nippet has a bit of color on his face. The paint job on the accessories is very nice and detailed.
The sculpting as a whole is very good. The joints are pretty well hidden, and don’t look unnaturally bulky. The accessories look great. It would probably add to the versatility of this figure if the belt was not glued on, and could be removed. The face sculpt is nice.
The accessories are what makes this a good deal. Leektar comes with a hood, an axe, and a knife that can slip into a pouch on his belt. Everything is painted and sculpted well. Nippet comes with a basket, which is sculpted to look like, well, a basket with a blanket inside. Nice stuff that makes these little guys worth the price of admission.
This is an excellent 2-pack. It will go great on any shelf, and will really flesh out that Kenner Ewok Village playset you’ve got! This would be a good set to repaint/retool down the line at least once or twice more. Good stuff, Hasbro!
