Dear All!
My name is Varga Zoltán from Hungary and “leaxe” is one of my friends! I asked him to help me advertise this ewok sculpture, so I am responsible for this topic. I am just a freelancer artist, an amateur but Wicket is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and that was the main reason I decided on to sculpt one and yes, there are several resins avilable, but private please, because I dont't want to be aginst any regulation!
Here is my story!
(I don"t speak english very well!)
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. () 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!
I am happy now, because I successfully sculpted this little fellow and from my personal point of view (!) at least to me, this sculpt is way more movie accurate then the same in size Kenner figures.
if you are in willing (I thank You for that!), you can rate it on the following link!
