Tim just posted pics of the Ewok mini-minifigs (although the scan cuts off the

comes with the Cloud Car set.

Thanks for the pointer.  Lobot looks good.  It appears to be a wrap-around
paint job, first seen on Professor Quirrel afak.

   I like Lobot too--it also offers the prospect of using him as
   a Classic Smiley if one wishes.  (Not that anyone would, but
   I might...Secret Lobot!)

But, if they can paint Chewbacca, why can't they paint the ewoks?  At least
spot the nose and eyes in black.

   They look like yummy, yummy chocolate.  Mmmmm!  I hope this is
   a nougat Ewok (and not an Eyeball-Biting™ one)!  (I actually don't
   mind them; they look fine to me.)

And do I need to point out that that Yoda sculpture is terrible?  Useful for
parts perhaps, but only if they keep the price down.  Exactly what is that
dark orangey-red colour though?  I assume the rest is tan, sand-green and brown.

   The dark orangey-red colour is "burnt orange," which was first
   seen in the Kaadus in 7115 (Gungan Patrol); it can also be found
   in the Bionicle promo from McD's.  It's a great rust color!

   I'm stoked by the availability of the Yoda sculpture.  It's a
   bulk brick pack--with all the colors, save sand-blue, that I'm
   looking for!  I can't wait to see the inventory.  I'd be shocked
   if it's under $100 and 2000 parts, though.

   best

(...) I thought I read that the Yoda was going to be a $99 set. Anyone know when it will be available? It is definitely going to be a parts pack for me. Jonathan (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
