Gwig first appeared as one of six 8-inch plush woklings made by Kenner as part of their Return of the Jedi toy line, and then as a figure in the Wicket the Ewok toy line from the company's Kenner Preschool division.

Gwig's first appearance in fiction was as a background character with no spoken lines in the Ewoks television series. His name appears only on two of Nelvana's animation model cels, one of which shows him wearing a green bandana and the other a blue hood. The blue-hooded design matches the unnamed character in "The Cries of the Trees." Both versions of Gwig are present in the crowd of young Ewoks in "Sunstar vs. Shadowstone."
