Mission Series Wicket: 2014/2015

Anyone planning on picking up the Mission Series Wicket, he'll be packed with a Scout Trooper:

Yet ANOTHER Wicket? But yes, of course I'll be picking him up when he's available. Lol. If you were to take my entire Ewok collection from 1983-present piece by piece, about half is Wicket. Go figure. (Get it??)
Seriously though, these 5 POA figures in The Mission Series are growing on me. There's a sort of fond nostalgia attached to them I feel. Like we're back in the '80s, but paying $9.99 for two figures instead of $1.99 each. Wow. They would come out to a little over $5.00 back then including tax. Wow. Oh well.
This Wicket is extremely cute. I wonder if his hood is removable? Doesn't look like it in the photo, but hey, ya never know. I hope it is.

This is now available online and at retail - picked this set up, both figures are great - and this Wicket is the best likeness yet! No removable hood though.

The production photos for wicket looked promising but upon closer inspection in the store, the paint applications were a little lack-luster and the absence of joint articulation was lame. The hood was also an issue for me because I like to set figures up diorama style and mix n match accessories which is a no-go with this figure. over all, it reminds me of the PVC wicket figure released in the disney star wars collectible figure set- I gotta admit as a collector, I was a little disappointed

All the Mission Series / Legends are lower articulated figures, but the likeness is usually what gets me to buy a figure from that line. I enjoyed this 2-pack, but the hood was a shame, as I prefer them removable as well.
