Hasbro released an in-hand look at the latest The Vintage Collection announcement. Click through to check out the full video featuring the Jabba the Hutt set, which is also made to interact with the upcoming Throne Room playset. And yes, the Salacious B. Crumb will be released on a mini-card.

Gizmodo.com has revealed a new The Vintage Collection Jabba the Hutt playset, complete with Jabba the Hutt, Jabba’s throne, Salacious B. Crumb, 8D8, and some accessories. This Hasbro Pulse exclusive will go up for pre-order tomorrow (July 19) at 10:00 am Eastern. Head to Gizmodo for more details.

Hasbro, please don’t be fooled by all the barking and clapping seals praising every meager new toy announcement you reveal. There is a huge swelling undercurrent of frustrated longtime Star Wars collectors that are growing increasingly aggravated by your lack of vision for Return Of The Jedi’s glorious 40th anniversary. We will riot if you don’t produce at least two items below. Please produce any two of the following: Jabba The Hutt playset (um, you already have all the parts for this), Sy Snootles And The Rebo Band (sorry – 9 out of 10 man-babies agree you’ve owed us this for years now), Ewok Village playset (we need something to enhance that awful Endor Bunker), an all-new Squid Head (Tessek) figure, or Imperial Dignitary (Sim Aloo). Please don’t make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry.

Hasbro needs to go all-out for the 40th Anniversary of Episode VI. In our continuing series of Return Of The Jedi 40th Anniversary suggestions for Hasbro, we’d like to suggest the Jabba The Hutt Action Playset with a pack-in Oola action figure (on The Vintage Collection packaging). We’d ask that Hasbro put together the dais and accessories from 2010’s Star Wars [Shadow Of The Dark Side] Jabba’s Throne set, the Jabba The Hutt figure from 2015’s TBS [P2] Jabba’s Rancor Pit multipack, and a specially-carded Oola action figure (also from the 2010 set). JTA reader Joey P. put together some mock images of what the set could look like. Let us know how you feel about this idea in our comments!

The latest in Regal Robot’s Maquette line will be Jabba the Hutt. Full details below…

We’ve just announced the latest statue in our Maquette Collection. Much like our Tauntaun Concept Maquette Replica, this sculpture caught my eye in classic 80’s documentaries about the production of Return of the Jedi and I’ve long wanted to bring it to life as a faithful recreation that folks could add to their collection. 

It’s a limited, numbered edition based on Phil Tippett’s original concept sculpture used to bring the infamous character to life. The original has been kept at Skywalker Ranch since production and we’re so lucky to get to handle the props and artifacts of these classic films in making our creations. Our replica Jabba was painstakingly digitally recreated from extensive photographs and measurements of that statue. Cast in heavy, solid polyurethane resin and made in the USA, each will be hand-painted, making each a unique tribute to the artistry involved behind the scenes of our favorite films.

Click here for the sneak peek page. This edition will be available to order on August 24th starting at 12 pm Eastern.

Thank the Maker! S.H. Figuarts wins the “bravery award” for tackling Ewoks in 6″ scale. Check out this scrumptious Wicket with log accessory. I need 25 of these. Keep the OT in focus, S.H. Figuarts. The other stuff is incidental. Also included here is the Jabba The Hutt S.H. Figuarts figure. It looks fun!

Hey! This is a great deal! On Amazon there is a bundled set of the Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) and Jabba The Hutt 6″ figures. They’re on sale for $44.99 as a SET! Special thanks to friend Steve U. for the alert!
