This version of
Jabba is by far the most charming and fun of all
Jabbas released to date (IMHO).
Kenner released
The Hutt
in a box set together with his throne, the Hookah pipe with a 3-piece
bowl (top,bottom (missing),side), the side railing ((missing) which plugs into the base)
and a
Salacious Crumb figure. The throne featured opening
doors, which revealed a prison area with various skeleton pieces, a
lizard, four rat-like creatures and a snake inside. The doors open by
turning the two most outer cyclope heads on the front of the throne. The
two cyclope heads in the middle have a hole in each mouth where a
string (slave rope) with neck prison collar can be pulled through. The
action feature on this figure is the tail, which when moved back and
forth moves the head left or right simultaneously. Besides the head and
the tail, both arms can be moved up and down.
Jabba's body is
made out of a hard-plastic shell and the eyes are made out of a clear,
see-through plastic with the eyeballs painted behind it.
Compared with the other
Jabba The Hutt figures in the 3 3/4
inch scale, which have their tails to the side, this version stands the
tallest. It's also worth mentioning that
Kenner gave
Jabba 3 fingers on the right hand, and 4 fingers on the left, while all other
Jabba figures have 4, except for the 2010 release (which has 3 fingers on both hands).
