Jabba the Hutt and Salacious Crumb (Playset) 1983




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).
