Wave 14 of the Vintage Collection provides us with another sampling of redecos from across the saga - this time featuring characters from The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, and Return of the Jedi. Three of these figures were on my hunt list: VC27 Wicket, VC92 Anakin Skywalker, and VC103 Obi-Wan Kenobi. I recently picked up the entire trio courtesy of Mighty Ape for $20.80 each.
The latter two of these figures mark the only realistic Clone Wars depictions of Anakin and Obi-Wan in the 3 3/4" line. While they were originally released back in 2012, distribution was poor, and - as a result - the pair often went for a hefty price on the secondary market. It was therefore a great call on Hasbro's behalf to give us a second chance to pick up these figures. The addition of Photo Real face treatments is simply an added bonus. Each figure comes with the expected super-articulation and both lit and unlit lightsaber accessories. The pair will go great alongside the realistic Ahsoka Tano I picked up back in 2017.
I had already managed to pick up this Vintage Collection Wicket on the secondary market. But while he came with his cowl and spear from Return of the Jedi, he had been missing the additional accessories that - in my opinion - absolutely make this figure: an entire alternative outfit inspired by his appearance in the Ewoks cartoon series. Now, however, I have a second Wicket to keep perpetually dressed in his animated attire!
