Description

Getting the fur right

A Wookiee is defined by his coat, so reddish brown is the key colour here. Black and the two bluish greys support it, mostly in the joints, frame and smaller details. The set uses 61 unique elements across 179 pieces, a reasonable mix for a buildable figure: alongside the repeated joint parts, there are shaped elements that give Chewbacca his broad shoulders and bulky build. The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and count.

Han Solo's first mate

Chewbacca comes from Kashyyyk and has flown alongside Han Solo aboard the Millennium Falcon for years by the time we meet him in A New Hope. He fights with the Rebels throughout the original trilogy and returns in the sequel films, a loyal friend who speaks only in growls and roars yet rarely leaves any doubt about what he means. Few characters in the saga are as widely loved, which makes him a natural choice for a larger figure.

Building a character

This is not a minifigure set, and no minifigures are included. Instead you build Chewbacca himself, starting with a jointed skeleton and adding the outer layers until the familiar shape appears. The finished figure can be posed and stands on its own, which makes it more of a display piece than a toy, although it holds up well to handling. It is a different experience from building a ship or a scene, and a good introduction to the figure format.

Where the parts can go

Reddish brown pieces are useful for timber buildings, trees and animals, while the joints are ideal for your own moving figures and creatures. If you decide to take Chewbacca apart, the What can I build? feature on this page compares your collection with other sets and shows how close you are to each one. It lists the missing elements too, so you can plan your next build with confidence and order only the pieces you actually need.
