[@GenX-RadRat]

I think they're badass. This line is usually the end-game for hardcore original trilogy collectors. Congratulations, bro 🤘🏻

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, man. Like I said, they're not for everyone. But Im hardcore Kenner. LOL

[@tantivevYT]

Great video! Congrats on getting these! I was in the same boat as you. I had all the original line but it kinda bothered me to not have these. So I finally bit the bullet a year ago and picked them up. I still love having them. They're just so unique. And after over 30 years of collecting, it was really cool to pick up genuine new Kenner figures again. Enjoy them! (And good luck on Droids if you choose to go for them too 😉)

[@GQJedi]

See, you absolutely get why I did what I did! Right on, Jeff! Very cool. And thank you. I am after the DROIDS line next.

[@paularangio8133]

That's so awesome that you scored the whole set in one swoop! I've managed to get the four non-ewok characters over the years but sadly haven't managed to pick up either Wicket or Logray......

[@GQJedi]

‘Twas a good day! One & done. 🤘🏻Good luck to you on your hunt!

[@eddiehizo5682]

I wouldn't worry about those individuals asking your age. What's count is your passion of your collection that keeps you young at heart.

[@GQJedi]

Passion and Imagination is everything. Absolutely!

[@dantooine4279]

They look so minty! I wouldn't be too bothered about the initial on the feet. I've never actually seen anyone do a close up review of these figures, so for that I applaud you.

[@GQJedi]

Other than the initials, they are minty. I'm super stoked! Really? No one has done the whole set before?! That simply can't be. Either way, I had to share with you all :)

[@brickingoutloud]

A piece of Star Wars universe history, and a nice addition to the collection. I think they are wonderful in their quirkiness.

[@GQJedi]

Absolutely. The more I stare at them, the more they grow on me.

[@savetherancor5696]

I love them, I get why they have their tractors. However, when I was just getting old enough to play with action, figures, these were what was still on the shelf. I love you I’m wicket and Logray as a child.

[@GQJedi]

The EWOKS are dope! I love em all. ROTJ main line and these 2 furballs. I'm a sucker for aliens, what can I say? :)

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

AWESOME Pickup! Makes me want to buy these now. Great that you got coins as well.

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, Joey! Yeah, I was lucky to get the whole shebang so to speak all in one punch!

[@alexianemp]

Hey, I watch your channel too!

[@BirdsR]

Last year i decided to hunt down these figures mint on card. I completed the set and all of them are graded by AFA or CAS. All unpunched. Great video. This line is so underrated and getting harder to find.

[@GQJedi]

MOCs....nice work, my friend! That's awesome !!!

[@Bonedadyo]

Not my bag…but then again I never thought I’d be collecting the OG large 12” figures. I’m already deep into that now!

[@GQJedi]

Haha! The addiction can set in at any time. Enjoy.

[@tperson8347]

These look great! :) Congrats! I'm glad you were able to get a hold of them. It seemed like you would've had to wait on these forever. Not only are these complete, but I can't get over you getting all the coins along with it. :) My favorite out of the whole lot is the Dulock scout. I remember seeing pictures and I wish they HAD made a Princess Kneesa figure. This is just me, but I think the initials on the feet add to it, but I'm not sure what the marker does to the plastic. Thank so much for sharing the figures. :) Thanks for the video

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, man! It was a shock and a surprise for me to get these all complete at one shot. I'm happy that I did it :)

[@MoparMcNeer]

Amazing score GQ! Scooping up all six of these in one run will save you a ton of time, even if you do decide to upgrade in the future. I was fortunate enough to pick up both a complete loose and MOC run of these figures back in the late '90s, for what is now "very" reasonable prices. These, along with the Droids, are very cool and certainly a bit underappreciated in my opinion, even now. I sat through all the cartoons as well and while some of them were entertaining, the majority of them didn't capture my attention. Maybe that's part of the reason why the series' and the figures fell off. Super cool pickup, always great to see them reviewed, and especially when it's your first handling of these. That's a special moment and I'm happy to see it captured on video. No way you're getting rid of these GQ. 😅

[@GQJedi]

Thank you! All complete at one time....I got lucky! Super cool that you have the whole line on card too :) WOW! And no, I'm not getting rid of these. Nah.

[@FloridaKeysPirate]

Cool pickups ! I’d keep them for sure. Frikkin awesome !

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, Sir!

[@youroldtoys1257]

Congratulations on 3K.🎉

[@GQJedi]

Thank you very much!!! I'm jazzed.

[@alioninthejungle]

Amazing 🤩

[@GQJedi]

I still can't believe I was able to grab the whole tribe in one swoop! Had to do it. Very stoked!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Awesome that you got these! I love seeing these loose. I wonder what you consider a great deal on these because I got a carded set for $500 about 8 years ago but that was cheaper than piecing together a loose set even back then

[@GQJedi]

I never kiss and tell but I definitely got the set for way less than their current market value. The deal was too good to walk away from.

[@robertbeard8207]

Great haul! Need all of them myself. We never had them ihere in the UK.

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, Robert! A couple of people have told me the same thing. Bummer they were never released there for you all.

[@animeanakin2304]

I'm jealous! I'd love to have these figures but I still need five of the Last 17 😐

[@GQJedi]

Keep hunting, you'll get them eventually. Never stop collecting. That's the key!

[@alexianemp]

So I have no nostalgia for the Ewoks cartoon. As far as I know I never saw it, although I do have a few of the comic books associated with it. I was 13 when it came out and way past that sort of thing as entertainment. When I restarted collecting as an adult in the early '90s, toy shows were loaded with these things, usually carded. They were cheap too, but I passed over them saving my money for the POTF figures I didn't have or ships or weapons for the main line. As I've mentioned before I paused collecting in the mid '00s for about 15 years but got back into it a few years ago. Now that my collection approaches completion, I can see where your mind is. I'm often tempted to follow this tangent (and the Droids linel) at times. So it's cool to see these, and I'm glad you're happy with them, even being the oddities that they are. So, I too, may venture down this path and if I found them under the right circumstances, I probably would. (Now, no griping about my long comments after your long videos! 😝) Oh, and I collect cardbacks just for the completeness, so bravo on getting half of those all at once. I still have many, many more cardbacks to collect and I wouldn't say no to a Droids or Ewoks card in a mixed lot.

[@GQJedi]

The cartoons aren't for everyone! That's for sure. I had to pick these up though as they are Kenner Star Wars toys. Part of the line. Now I'm on to the DROIDS line. While my videos are long, this is MY channel. I don't force anyone to watch the content. LMAO. Just saying.

[@billpaulk1058]

I can see myself picking up the 2 Ewoks of that line, not so much the Dulaks. I would have to watch the cartoon more to see if I would change my mind. Great job of showcasing them! 😊

[@GQJedi]

The Duloks do look like Gremlins! LOL. I totally get it.

[@deathmetalrob5563]

Nice pick up for all in one swoop

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, Rob! I'm pretty pleased with this acquisition! :)

[@davidantonson9003]

My theory regarding the Ewok/Dulok variety distribution (4:2 in favor of Duloks): 1. Kenner "figured" there would be more waves. 2. Kenner knew kids already had Ewok figures from ROTJ, as evidenced by the Ewok Village on the cardbacks. They knew toy collections would double-dip :-)

[@GQJedi]

I think you're train of thought seems spot on. Shame we never got more Woks.

[@youroldtoys1257]

Great video.

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, man! I had to share the goods with you all !

[@wadehinden5940]

Real nice.enjoy.

[@GQJedi]

I am. Thank you.

[@douglaspugh9643]

Congrats on your Haul. You can also use oxy 10 to remove some magic marker on toy figures

[@douglaspugh9643]

When applying oxy 10 coat the area then place in Ziploc sandwich bag and let's set for 30 minutes to an hour learned this trick from Toy polloi on KZbin

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, but doesn't that take off some of the plastic coloring? I've used peroxide plenty of times to whiten stormies but have never tinkered with colored figures.

[@scottmorrison147]

I have the Kenner Droids C3PO and R2. For me, it was all about having the re-painted Empire pull apart C3PO and pop up saber R2. So sweet! :)

[@GQJedi]

That's awesome that you have the original DROIDS pair. I will be hunting those down next!

[@scottmorrison147]

​@@GQJedi pricey, they are.

[@javiercetina]

Great video GQ Jedi. Ewoks line looks great displayed together. I hope you complete the Droids line also, including Vlix, even if it’s a Pro Custom figure!

[@GQJedi]

Thanks, buddy! Once I complete the Kenner Droids line, then I will look into buying more customs for it. Vlix is easily had, this much I know. Just saving up the funds for Kenner ;)

[@benjaminkitaura498]

You can get the R mark off the bottom of wicket’s foot by using a dry erase marker……trace it let it sit for about 30 seconds and wipe it off. It may take several tries if it has been on there for many years.

[@GQJedi]

A dry erase marker? So you're suggesting I use a marker to remove marker? Huh. LOL. I've gotten multiple suggestions on this video. The trace and wipe method I get.. but what exactly is the product? Where can I find that? And also, does it eat away at the plastic? Thanks, Sir.

[@benjaminkitaura498]

Any white board dry erase marker…it works well and doesn’t damage the figures. It’s a old Marine Corps trick. It works.

[@benjaminkitaura498]

You can get the expo dry erase markers at dollar general or dollar tree or the 99 cents store or Walmart or target or office depot. It works best if you try to match the strokes (like in painting) with the original permanent marker that is already on the figure. It will not take off the paint….other chemicals like lighter fluid or something may damage the plastic or paint dry erase markers don’t damage it. You will need to experiment with it ….I use green or black dry erase markers those seem to work well…..however it may need to apply more than one coat let it sit a bit and then wipe it off…..

[@GQJedi]

Really appreciate you sharing your Marine Corps trick with me. I will definitely have to give it a go and see what happens. Can't be worse off than I already am. Stay tuned...

[@benjaminkitaura498]

Looking forward to seeing how happy you are when it works. It does take a few tries to get it right.

[@Blackedoutewoks]

They are kinda scarce like the last 17, only issued once! Goofy yet somewhat cool looking 👀 neglected by those focusing on the 96. I assume a lot of original 96 completionists are only starting to see how tough some of these are to obtain!

[@GQJedi]

These are definitely overlooked by many collectors. Lot of folks dislike this set of figures. Oh well.

[@jeditempletoys6073]

Great pickup ! With how complete and cool your collection is, I would say keep ‘em man!! You are so close to having EVERYTHING for the main line. Alll you need is the droids figures correct ? I think you have all the playsets, vehicles, and mini rigs for all the lines right ?

[@GQJedi]

Yes, I have every piece (figures/ships/playset/vehicles/rigs) from the main line collection except the DROIDS figures. I do have Thall Joben and Jord Dusat already. So the hunt is ON!

[@jeditempletoys6073]

@@GQJedi you I remember when you got the two droids figures. You are almost there ! All you need is the rest of the droids figures and a couple of droids vehicles right ?

[@GQJedi]

That is correct. The rest of the figures and the ATL and Side Gunner. I already have a nice A-Wing fighter!

[@jeditempletoys6073]

@@GQJedi excited for you to complete the line. My goal is to complete the Kenner Star Wars line minus the droids and Ewoks stuff. Getting close but still a ways to go. Enjoyed the book video today as well

[@camcordernonsense5264]

I think I saw 1 ewok and 2 droids figures ever. Toychest and Kaybee. it was awhile after the toys came out too. they were ghosts around us.

[@GQJedi]

Kaybee. Ahhh the good old days.

[@bobajedi]

Now you need to collect the jumbo vintage figures.😊

[@GQJedi]

Nah. Those take up too much space. I simply don't have that kind of real estate. Plus, I'm massively behind in the scope of collecting. I do have a Jedi Knight Luke though :)

[@bobajedi]

I want the jedi luke jumbo,I have four of the biker scout jumbo and they are very cool.I think you should keep the ewoks cartoon figures as they were around that time,look good and the cartoon was pretty good and those figures look well looked after and must be hard to find.

[@cyrusq5999]

The G.G. SW Jumbo figures look sh*t, imo. Kenner’s SW figures don’t translate well to that scale. The lack of detail in the sculpts is even more apparent.

[@GQJedi]

You've got a lot of disdain for some of these toys man @Cyrus Q LOL

[@Bather12]

Great stuff - but did the letters come off the feet? xx

[@GQJedi]

Thanks! Some of it came off. Not all of it. I'll live with it.

[@Kevsspot]

Hey bud, how many times do you think you said you didn't think you would get them all together in one set? Lol. Love your vids btw.

[@GQJedi]

Not sure. I'm still in shock that it happened. Cheers!

[@fatcat8033]

“We are the E ,E ,E ,E ,,E ,E Ewoks…”🎵🎼🎶🎵

[@GQJedi]

You are more than familiar with the show, my friend! LOL. Well done!

[@Psyman74]

Have you checked out Procustomfigures? They have made some of the unreleased Ewoks and Droids figures. Have bought some of their custom Star Wars figures, and they’re of superb quality.

[@GQJedi]

Yes, I've seen them all. They look great. But I'd rather spend my money chasing down the Kenner DROIDS line first before buying more customs of these.

[@cyrusq5999]

My favourite is the purple-painted J-Slot Rocket-Firing Boba Fett. Also have the Kit-Bashed prototype version.

[@Psyman74]

@@GQJedi Ansolutely, fair enough. I’m sure you’ll be drawn to them once you’ve finished collecting Kenner’s line. I haven’t got any of the Kenner Droids or Ewoks line. But the Procustoms line keeps grabbing my attention. Cheers for your great videos

[@Psyman74]

@@cyrusq5999 Have a few of his figures and love then. I have the kit bashed Fett in my sights. Looks great.

[@cyrusq5999]

I may also get the unpainted purple L-Slot and J-Slot Fetts, too?

[@michaels8940]

Try using an erasable marker over the marks. It does work sometimes

[@GQJedi]

What is the product made of and where can I find it? Does it have an exact brand name? Not understanding on putting a marker removes marker? LOL. Please forgive my ignorance in this matter. Just trying to get the exact details so I don't further damage the figures. Thanks.

[@Bonedadyo]

I think the theory is that the new ink will reactivate the old, then use the eraser to erase. I wouldn’t take the chance.

[@JediBubba-5-77]

GQ, have you checked out the reproduction Droids and Ewoks cartoon figures from Pro Custom Figures? I learned about them from Retroblasting. I’ve ordered a few of the lost Droids wave. Highly recommended!

[@GQJedi]

I have. I know all about them. They are made quite well from what I've heard.

[@JediBubba-5-77]

@@GQJedi I like your idea of getting all the original vintage first then going for the repros.

[@GQJedi]

Just makes sense to me. The originals are harder to track down and cost way more money.

[@philipcao1275]

Do you plan on getting the unproduced second wave of Ewoks figures? Or at least custom reproductions of them If they even exist? (Ive seen pictures of them online a while back I think)

[@GQJedi]

Possibly at some point. We'll see.

[@davidnetherton9456]

I'll maybe get the two ewoks but they are all mint on card at my local to store

[@GQJedi]

Do it!

[@davidnetherton9456]

Big $$$

[@KennethWelsh-oc3du]

Steven sansweet and some company made four more ewoks chief circa was one

[@GQJedi]

I'm familiar with ProCustoms who has made the secondary line.

[@rob4-m9]

Where you able to remove the markings on the feet? The line is to cartoony for me 🥴

[@GQJedi]

I was able to remove some of it so far. Not all of it. Improvement for sure.

[@basicbits6244]

Funny how the cartoon series had the opposite problem than the toy line, since every single episode introduces a minimum of one new species or character messing around the neighborhood of the furry little monsters.

[@GQJedi]

It's so true. The figure line would have been massive had Kenner kept their doors open and the cartoon series was still airing on TV.

[@saintjoanmusic]

✌🏼

[@GQJedi]

Awwww 😉

[@wadehinden5940]

I have a village with them all hanging out with the droids. And your missing them

[@GQJedi]

I have some of the Droids figures displayed on another shelf. I plan on finishing off that line at some point. Not in a rush.

[@DanIAmIBe]

Don’t know how I feel. Congrats on getting the whole set, but they seem like a waste of money and don’t tickle the memberberries in any way remotely close to even the worst vintage Kenner Star Wars line. I wouldn’t bother buying them, nevermind ever are to display them. I’d much rather use that money to upgrade my existing collection with better quality replacements, or get Stan Solo figs, which fit in that world.

[@GQJedi]

To each their own. You sound bitter about it. LOL. But for me, I have everything in the main line and get SS figs as they come out. Going after the cartoon lines was the next step in the evolution of my collection.

[@cyrusq5999]

Agreed. The Kenner SW lines ended with THE POWER OF THE FORCE collection. That’s the end of the line for me.

[@animeanakin2304]

BTW I was only 6 years old in 1980 so I consider myself " born in the 70s but kid of the 80's" if that makes sense. The Ewoks and Droids cartoons were honestly disappointing when I saw them. Ewoks was the better of the two

[@GQJedi]

The cartoons are super whacky to be honest. Pure 80's goofiness. LOL!

[@cyrusq5999]

I remember seeing both cartoon lines in 1985 and ‘86. By then I had already grown out of watching cartoons. I thought they both sucked. I doubt I would’ve enjoyed them even if I was younger. I vaguely remember seeing the figures in stores at the time. They didn’t interest me at all, unlike the main SW Kenner lines did. I don’t miss the DROIDS and EWOKS lines at all. Kenner, went out with a whimper.

[@GQJedi]

So much hate... That leads to the Dark Side.

[@scottmorrison147]

2 Ewoks in Ewoks line and 2 Droids in Droids line.... go figure?

[@GQJedi]

More figures were planned for a second line but got cancelled. Such a bummer. I could have used more Ewoks in this display. I know custom versions exist but having the og Kenner figures would have been sweeter.

[@cyrusq5999]

The Kenner DROIDS and EWOKS lines aren’t for me, but I’m glad you’ve given me a much better look at the figures (yes, I still think they look crap). STAR WARS (1978) to STAR WARS: THE POWER OF THE FORCE (1985) is IT for me.

[@GQJedi]

You're welcome for the view. LOL. Like I said, they aren't for everyone .

[@bobajedi]

Ha ha see what Hasbro's just releasing?

[@GQJedi]

Nope!! I don’t collect modern nor do I follow news or marketing from Hasbro.

[@bobajedi]

They are releasing Ewok cartoon vintage collection figures.I have recently bought the new bunker,at st,speeder bikes.I highly recommend the new retro Darth Vader from the Obi Wan Kenobi wave and the at st.

Right on. To each their own :)
