Topic: SDCC 2014 Exclusive Jabba the Hutt

[Tamer]

I saw this over at Yakface.com and figured some folks here might like to see this. The pictures are linked to the EW Article:





It looks like this whole dio is arranged to work with last year's set up too. Oh the pain from having to deal with HTS again!

[Clonehead]

Crumb looks as if rigor has set in

[dax415]

hmm....got a friend going to the comic con...hopefully he can snag me one.

[Tamer]

Yeah, with only the pipe thingy and Salacious as the exclusive I may just hold out on this one. If it came with the dais like it was supposed to I might have bit.

[smeagol92055]

That IS a phenomenal headsculpt. For whatever reason, most of the Jabba figures out look wrong in the face.

Hasbro sent us the larger higher resolution images for this offering today!

Robot Kingdom has this Exclusive set sans SDCC Sticker for $79.90, much more reasonable if you have to have it

Ah... so the hooka pipe and Salacious Crumb are what makes this the exclusive version? DorksideToys has the single Jabba for $39.... so that's a lot of money for a stiff lizard monkey (totally agree with your statement, Clint!) and a waterpipe....

While I'm rearranging my man cave, I come across old friends. One of them my 30 year old Kenner Jabba the Hutt with hooka, Crumb, neck chain and a dais that also functions as a prison! Now, I know, we're talking about the 6" Jabba here, but come on.... at least put meaning to the word 'exclusive', Hasbro! Boschka!

[Tamer]

Yeah, I don't really see me being too disappointed if I don't get one of these. Next year this time you will see em being sold more reasonably like the SDCC Boba is now. All we have to have is patience. Of course everyone knows how patient I am!

[Rodger]

Being 6" keeps my wallet from getn thinner. Cool to look at the pics though.

I hear ya. Not only is it a matter of money, but of space as well. Not all of us have the same space available as Mr. Sansweet

[Tamer]
