Yub nub! 75430 Wicket the Ewok will bring the best-known cuddly forest fighter from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi to the LEGO range as a buildable character set.
LEGO Star Wars is following character sets like 75403 Grogu with Hover Pram, 75398 C-3PO and 75379 R2-D2 with the most famous of all of Endor’s residents – 75430 Wicket the Ewok. Memorably portrayed by Warwick Davis in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Ewoks: Caravan of Courage and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, Wicket’s bravery is much larger than his diminutive size.
The set uses 1,010 pieces, will retail for £109.99 / $129.99 / €119.99 and launch on August 1 alongside many other new LEGO Star Wars sets that have been announced in the last few days.

Brick Wicket wears his familiar hood and comes with his spear. It looks like his arms will be posable but his legs will be static. Additionally, a round white piece represents the biscuit that Leia Organa gives the character when she is earning his trust. Specially printed eye elements peek out from under his hood.
At 23cm tall, he’ll be more than a match for Ultimate Collector Series 75417 AT-ST Walker.
If statues aren’t your thing, then there are plenty of other sets coming on August 1 alongside the not-so-cuddly buildable Ewok – 75417 AT-ST Walker, 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship,75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT, 75413 Republic Juggernaut, 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder and 75431 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack and 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter.
