I just want to see Jabba, I'm on the edge, never even seen a prototype so I want to know what he's like.

Pics are up on the RS forums, no loose ones yet, but the guy has it in hand so it's only a matter of time. The box images of the toy on the back makes it look very, very impressive. Great articulation, great Dias and Salacious!

I don't think you'll be disappointed, MF. Over at Sandtroopers.com, Gorkoracing has posted pictures of the back of the box (not sure if he actually has the figure inside or what). It looks fantastic.

Like I said at RS - LOVE IT. Now um.. should I debut the in hand photos of the new 3PO and Bespin Luke here or RS when I get em? 
Paid more than I wanted for 3PO but having him in hand shortly makes it almost worth it. Man I would rather have had Jabba instead

The box pics are very impressive for a Hasbro 3 3/4 set, let's just hope the contents don't disappoint.

The sculpt was what I was most worried about. You can always fix paint with a custom paint job. So I'm very happy. The throne is nicer than I expected. I'll be getting a couple of these.

Oola over Slave Leia? Really??

They just released a carded Leia. Besides, there's only been one Oola figure ever before this, while there's been 3 or 4 Slave Leias. I for one am really glad they chose Oola.

Oh, I had no idea. I'm glad they chose her then.
How's the carded Leia? Any pics?

It's pretty good, although I think the face on some of the previous figures might be better. The big draw for the latest version is that she comes with both "standing" and "sitting" legs so you can put her on the throne.

I kind of just want Oola. Jabba's head looks enormous.
WOW, I am very impressed. I wonder if it comes with all those pillows or if that's just marketing decor. Jabba himself looks great, I'd give the '83 throne the edge for the more properly scaled gargoyle heads, but if that's really how the figure looks, that's the best ROTJ Jabba from Kenner/Hasbro ever.
Yup, the paint's actually decent on the Ultra, it's just wasted on a sculpt that looks nothing like ROTJ Jabba.

I can't imagine that they would throw a bunch of pillows on there if it didn't come with them. The question is, are they sculpted on the throne or moveable? It appears that at least one of them moves from shot to shot, so hopefully at least the one in front of Jabba (where Leia would likely sit) will be moveable.
I would imagine they're just free floating, probably bagged in the package. I would think in the world of crying false advertising, they wouldn't be there if they weren't packed in, this set just seems too robust to be true.
Now, if they'd just produce that Vader funeral pyre diorama, my Hasbro dreams will have all come true.

Rumor has it Hasbro said there isn't enough retailer interesting right now for the pyre.
And I have a sneaking suspicion those pillows are all sculpted to the throne, though I hope I am wrong.
I hope they aren't, it'd be nice to position Leia close to his stomach like she is in the movie instead of way down at his tail like Oola.

I'll have to get that Jabba for my son's new playset I'm building for him.
That's damn impressive, but where do you have room to house such a grand diorama?
