Dear Viewers!
I made this 10 cm high (!) Wicket sculpture for fun and because I found the official releases (Kenner) somehow inaccurate. He is my favorite character from the movie Return of the Jedi. When I was a kid, I lived with my family under communism till 1989. Fortunately the system was tolerable, therefore we had several Star Wars figures from the western marketplace. But each figure had a price. Once I saw an original Kenner Wicket in a tobacco shop, I was 7 or 8 years old at that time. My mother asked me to choose between that ewok figure and a tabletop game and I chose the tabletop game instead of the wicket figure. It was a hard choice, and I wanted that ewok figure so much, but I had a plan with the table top game. I wanted a fantasy kind tabletop game, which kind of games were not available in my country at that time and my parents bought some miserable game instead.
(http://retronom.hu/node/27096) I grow up, but somehow I never had the chance again to get an original Kenner Wicket figure. Time passed and for the 30th anniversary of the Return of the Jedi movie, I decided to make an own sculpture, an accurate one, with a loyal face and body shape to the original movie look. But the original sculpture made by air dry clay and I immediately wanted to own a plastic resin. Therefore, on the picture, you can see the plastic resin, which isn’t a pirated bust, but my own personal creation!Under the following link, you can see more pictures about the original sculpture and several others, please refer:
