After the success of the final (at that time, anyway) Star Wars film,
Return of the Jedi, Kenner re-used a few of its toy molds for the feature film
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The Ewok Village was transformed into the Merry Men's hideaway, with the addition of leaves to the trees and the removal of the fire pit and spit. As well, C-3PO's throne was discarded and spear throwers were added to create the Sherwood Forest Playset.
The other toy Kenner reincarnated was the Ewok Battlewagon. The large bantha skull was removed and the old Ewok catapult was placed on the top of the wagon. A few other changes were made as well, including the addition of bronze shields on the sides and overall color adjustments.
Take a look at these "recylced" Kenner toys for yourself!
