Yeah, it is great. I'm planning on repainting mine, but I do that on most anyway. I love it though. And to me, well worth the price.

Hey, I just thought of something. I can't check, as my figures are in storage (still in "Moving Limbo") but will the drinking glass that came with last years Slave Leia fit in Jabba's hand?

 

[icruise]

Yep, it'll fit.

I've written a full review on my blog, so check it out for more pictures.

Hasbro not making any display dioramas or playsets?

I deff appreciate that Hasbro continues to make great 3 inch Star Wars figures with the cool packaging and such. But why do they continue to release so many figures and re-packs but not make any cool playsets or display dioramas for them?

I feel it's a real let down for collectors.

Nice review, icruise!

Re: Hasbro not making any display dioramas or playsets?

Modern figure lines don't seem to go beyond the figures and vehicles, so it is sad that they don't do playsets like the old days.

 

[cerealkeller]

Only two boxes per store.....that doesnt sit well with me. Im sure more will ship, but Im impatient and Jabba is the only Hasbro anything I will buy this year

Sideshow is doing so with their 1:6 line though. I made my switch.

I passed by the SW aisle at Target, decked with all the new stuff.. but I can't appreciate Hasbro anymore. I'm more excited now about GG's 12" vintage, SS Yoda + Hut, and the Emperor.

I'm tempted to pick up that Jabba set...

But I saw there was a new Slave Leia figure too. Which to use?? Oola or Leia? Oola probably has a better likeness, right?

 

[icruise]

Oola's the better figure, I think. But she can't sit on the throne like Leia can with the extra set of legs.

 

[meanstreak]

Ok, that looks nothing like Carrie Fisher. Does she come with a full chain or just the one in your photo?

I think Oola FTW.

 

[icruise]

Just that plastic chain.

Just that plastic chain.

Which are you using?? Oola or Leia?

 

[icruise]

Well, I have a repainted vintage throne and Ultra Jabba that I will probably use with Leia and I will use Oola with the new Jabba.

Ooh an unpunched card....

Well I should have had my Jabba today but it was sent to freaking White Haven PA and not to me! If this is not a USPS screw up, I'm completely docking the sellers rating.
