Star Wars Black Series 6" Jabba The Hutt

Product Information

Not only are there paint differences between each release, but there are also differences in the sculpts, action features, accessories and the articulation.

In addition to the wire in the tail, Hasbro gave Jabba ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows and a swivel head. Collectors should note that it can be found in two distinctly different boxes: the regular photo box, sold through most retailers, and a primarily white line-art package, which Sears used to ship Jabba playsets that were sold through its catalog division. I am pretty sure He-man did it, Ninja Turtles definitely did, and I think Harry Potter toys did too. This deluxe set includes the portly crime lord, Jabba the Hutt, whose body is largely cast in a softer, flesh-feeling plastic, and whose arm rotation controls Jabba's mouth. But in 1999 I totally missed out on this gem, even though I distinctly remember seeing it in the Argos catalogue.

As if to emphasize this pervert angle, Kenner included a "slave chain" on the front of the toy's throne. The two cyclope heads in the middle have a hole in each mouth where a string (prisoner chain) can be pulled through. I don’t know what circumstances occurred for Jabba to empty his stomach like this, but I guess that’s for whoever is playing with the toy to decide. For over 30 years, Star Wars has fueled imaginations and thrilled children and adults with the adventures of Luke Skywalker as he learns the ways of the Jedi, the dark villainy of Darth Vader, the wisdom of Yoda and the exciting events that reach across an entire galaxy. However, they did include more accessories this time around and they gave Jabba a new railing together with a new Hookah pipe and a 2-piece bowl!

Once the head was back on you could squeeze J abba's head and "glob" was supposed to come out of the mouth and give the slug a slimy appearance.If you turn his head forward the paint application on the head matches the lower body, however when you turn the head sideways the paint application looks off. Jabba the Hutt was one of the galaxy’s most powerful gangsters, with far-reaching influence in both politics and the criminal underworld. The improvements in sculpting and painting techniques are apparent right away when both figures are compared side-by-side. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
