LEGO Star Wars 75430 Wicket the Ewok revealed!
Posted by CapnRex101,
There has been no shortage of LEGO Star Wars announcements over the past few days and the final set of the August wave has now been unveiled as well, 75430 Wicket the Ewok!
This 23cm-tall rendition of Wicket contains 1010 pieces and will cost £109.99, $129.99 or €119.99, coming with a minifigure version of this beloved character too.
View additional images after the break...
Kids build their love of popular character Wicket the Ewok with this LEGO Star Wars buildable model kit (75430). An awesome LEGO Star Wars gift for boys, girls and any fans aged 12 years old and over, this set makes a cool display and cute desk decor to wow friends and inspire memories of iconic Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi scenes.
The LEGO brick-built figure is full of authentic details and comes with a buildable spear and a treat element (like the treat Princess Leia gave him in an Endor forest). This LEGO Star Wars construction toy also includes a Wicket the Ewok LEGO minifigure, plus an information plaque to complete an adorable display piece.
I was dubious about this model when rumours began to circulate a few months ago, but I think the design looks surprisingly good in official images.
What do you think of this large-scale Ewok? Let us know in the comments.

Not the nightmare fuel of Chewbacca (or Yoda, per my wife).
he looks like he needs to pee
The minifig doesn’t match the build, so…
I kinda like it. My main problem is I’m not interested in expanding my storage right now, and my browns and tans are slap full.
No. Thank you.
The big question, is it in scale with Chewie, R2, and C-3PO?
Yub nub!
OMG cute! Not even that big a fan of Ewoks but this is adorable. The eyes, nose, and little teeth are perfect.
I love it! Will definitely be getting, but I was hoping the rumored price of $90 would be legit. Even $120 would’ve been a bit better. Great execution in my opinion, and I love the Wicket Minifigure too, best version they’ve done by far!
That’s a hard no
call me crazy or whatever but i think this captured the wicket photo i'm looking at on google pretty well.
not understanding the brown minfig with dark brown fur printing though?

He's nine inches, Chewie is eighteen. The plaque says Wicket is 0.8 meters; Chewie must be a little over 2 meters. So this Wicket is a little too big, but I think probably close enough.
I like this. Probably won't get it, but I do like it.
The gaps in the face are worse than Chopper!!!

The stane and the price are definitely a bit awkward. I wonder what the back looks like?

It's funny, because the killer teddy bears used to be almost universally hated when RotJ came out from what I've heard. (before my time) Then, along came Jar Jar, and then later still - the sequels. In the process the Ewoks became beloved, and then so did Jar Jar.
Maybe the same will happen to the sequel trilogy in another ten or so years?
....nah!
Do we really need another buildable figure this year?
That looks terrible and that’s coming from someone who thought Chewbacca was awesome.
@Maxbricks14 said:

If it was anything but an Ewok, I’d say no, but this is the exception.
Porgs are beloved, though!
I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway. Thanks LEGO!
The face looks off in subtle but really important ways. I get the idea for the tooth pieces on the face but they're not working in the same way as the ones used on the rest of the body. They come across like teeth, and don't look like fur at all to me.

Before Return of the Jedi, it was C-3PO.

I dunno what this is. I'll check Wicketpedia.
Would have been a buy for me if the large fig more closely matched the colouring of the minifig. The teeth coming out of his forehead (trying to look like fur) are also a put off.
What is going on with his stance?? The likeness and build look good, but the positioning of the legs just isn’t ideal at all.
@Froggage said:

This is a cm shorter than the R2 model, so it should be close.
@Froggage said:
"The big question, is it in scale with Chewie, R2, and C-3PO?"
No, the big question is how difficult/expensive it will be to modify this design into a recreation of the Darth Wicket I made back when I used to customize SW action figures.
@Murdoch17 said:

You never watched HIMYM, did you? Whether or not you hated the Ewoks really depended on how old you were when the film came out. My brother was on the high side of the line, and I was on the younger side. It was actually the same way with Jar-Jar, but nobody will admit to it now.
@Wallace_Brick_Designs said:
"Porgs are beloved, though!"
Are they? I heard they’re a little chewy.
So...Bricket E. Warrick, I presume...:)
Sure,wht not...
Some of us would have reconsidered Chewy if we knew we were getting a bus load of buildable figures. So, if 3PO, R2, Chopper, Chewy, and Warwick are all in scale (roughly), what in blue milk were they doing with the Battle and Destroyer droids?
Huh, this is actually decent! Still not interested, but this definitely is the first not creepy looking star wars creature.
Best buildable figure so far, change my mind.
Not in the market for Lego Star Wars, but if you don't look too close this is pretty good. Just don't look at the face for too long...
Who buys these? D:
Why we are not getting smaller playsets with Eewoks?
Every parent recognises a toddler toilet-strain face.
While it’s not the minifigure laden Endor playset I wish Lego would produce, I’m convinced there is a buildable thermal detonator hidden about Wicket’s person and that could actually win me over.
I wonder why this is a set aimed at children whereas Chewie was an adult set.
Waw I love it, it looks great.
Though now thanks to you guys I cannot unsee the poop face ! ^^
I like it and a reasonable price for a change. Are that new pieces for the nose?
Never thought we would get a set from Ewoks Caravan of Courage!
If you are unaware of the Ewok short films, (Yes, films plural, it got a sequel)
They are on Disney+.
I cannot reccomend them.

@CCC said:

Because the Chewie set was and will always be a thing of nightmares that no child should ever be exposed to ... actually, fair point, as this set is no better.
I always saw Wicket as more of a greyish colour, so I never really liked the reddish brown Lego versions. I mean, I can see that he is brown, but the colour still doesn't look right
I am generally into these character builds, but I have to admit I think droids and the likes work and look much better. For me, the organic characters don’t translate to Lego as well unfortunately
Looks good, but can in no way be to scale of Chewbacca, this head is about 15 studs wide, Chewbacca is about 6.
Easy pass, but I think it's a fairly good set.
Ja Ja still annoys me and Anakin.

It looks like it could be the telephone piece?
Needs a TIE pilot fight suit, and arm and leg extension prosthetics, so he can be Lieutenant Kettch!
(quietly waits to see who else gets the reference...)
Joking aside, he actually looks decent? Granted I find more appeal in the brick-built figures than a lot of members here seem to - although even I found Chewbacca's face horrifying...! - but for a very round and furry character he seems a surprisingly accurate depiction... right down to the vaguely unsettling face that's also somewhat true to the movie!
Don't want to own him myself, but I can appreciate the model design at any rate ^^
Wicket and Wicked announced at the same time. LEGO should have also announced a wicker basket GWP :~P
@Jackaroo1701 said:
"Yub nub!"
I was sure that was going to be the first comment. I am a little disappointed.
I like it! The brick built construction provides a good match to the scruffy, moth eaten appearance of the original character from the film.
Well its a hell of alot better then the abomination that was the Chewbacca attempt, but it still feels slightly off and not for me.
No poll?
I like it and I liked Chewie.
Although must admit, I like Chewie far more in person than any image I saw, so perhaps I'll like this even more irl.
The only correct way to display this is among Imperial ground troop helmets.

As opposed to being a little Chewie.

No, that's another license.

Yub yub, Commander.
Decent buildable character. At least he doesn’t have freaky eyes like the Chewbacca from 2023, we all know how that went.
Also happy Fourth of July!!!!!
Welp, the prices sure ain't getting any more reasonable

Tariffs. Call your politicians to complain if you want to make America prices sane again

You beat me to it!
I miss the old expanded universe books.
Those X wing books were always fun to read!
This is easily my favorite of all the Buildable Star Wars characters.
Official Announcement: 75430 Nightmare Fuel
Love it! Just pre-ordered. Wicket was always my favorite when I was a kid since return of the Jedi came out at just the right time, age wise for me. This will earn a spot of honor in my collection. :-)

Oh, yeaaahhhh! (did I do it right?)
@bnic99:
Caravan of Courage at 97 minutes, and Battle for Endor at 94 minutes, are just long enough to qualify as feature films under the most restrictive definition (90+ minutes), not short films (max 40 minutes including credits per AMPAS).

No, it's a piece that just came out this year. I grabbed a couple from OPAB, just to see what they were like:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-6908
The telephone receiver doesn't have a groove at the bottom, while 6908 has a very distinctive one that I don't recall seeing on any other element.
@Zander:
Maybe they'll announce a Wiccan festival scene for Halloween.
For a second, I thought the blown up pic of the minifigure was the Ewok.
One big sticker lol.

R2 is 9" so Wicket will be probably by 2" too tall to be at-scale with this trio. Guess you can presume he's the adult version LOL

Display this next to the new AT-ST and it's a great Ewok kaiju. Endor's secret terror with Atomic Cookie Breath.
Pen is mightier than the spear, it appears.

Hmmm…for you, Google Translate is broken, hmm? Try installing “Galaxy Wide” package, hmmm? Also on Duolingo, I believe…become fluent in over 6 million forms of communication you will, hmmmm?
A definite skip for me.

"Oh no, they say he's got to go. Go, go, Wickzilla!"
Hello Noel Edmonds, after other have pointed it out I cannot unsee it.
As hideous as the Chewbacca figure.
Buildable figures like this are best suited to droids.
Why is he looking upwards, is something about to fall on his head?
