Its BUBO

[TheObsoleteMan]

I don't mind spending more time at Jabba's Palace. God knows we spent plenty of time in the Jedi Council!

You said it. I'd rather see a parade of the most obscure denizens of Jabba's Palace before we go back to the PT Jedi.

So is Sideshow taking the Hasbro path now and making figures of characters (let alone alien "toads and rats") that appear on-screen for like 2 seconds?

That's not the "Hasbro path" my friend. That's simply Star Wars.

Yup and what makes collecting it fun IMO.

Some of you guys are hillarious. Some of you think that Bubo coming out as the first announcement of '07 is a sign of the direction the line and company are going in, and start talking like it's the end of great Star Wars collectibles. It's one release, and it has value in adding to a setup they put a lot of work and time into. They love these things as much as we do, so when they make a Jabba and throne, it's natural part of them is going to start thinking like, what else could be added to this to give it more and make a more complete setup, and Bubo gives that on a small, more affordable scale than Lando and Skiff Guards and Gamorrean's and things, which I'm sure will happen as well but they're going to attack it on all levels. This line has plenty of core characters to hit and time to do it, so those with fear, worry not.

Word, MaulFan. I'd like to see Klaatu next. Or Tessek! Yeah....

Maybe we'll get Hoover as an exclsuive accessory. Come to think of it, I'd have been fine if, instead of this creature pack, we had gotten each one of these as exclsuive accessories to go with certain Palace denizens who lack for accessories...

Would have been an idea, but this is good too!

I think for Cantina creatures and Jabba's courtiers we are going to see bar set up things, or maybe little things of spice or something as the exclusives. Could be interesting. Or they could just NOT do them as exclusives.

That would be different.

I want the whole jabba's Palace... I wish Sideshow to make Ephant Mon in the near future.

 

[Memnoch]

That would be different.

Different but not unexpected. I mean what can you honestly say could be exclusive to some of the guys in Jabbas Palace? Only other option I can see to get that gold sticker is if they are domestic exclusives like the Troopers which probably won't happen.

He's here, but all the other web teamers (the ones who actually prep photos and links) are off for the weekend, since they work on the East Coast We'll have to wait until Monday I guess... but I did just go down and visit the "little" critter myself and I can tell you that he's about 7 1/2 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 4 1/2 inches tall (MUCH bigger than Salacious)... and he's much heavier than I expected! The womp rats are about 4 1/2 inches long (to the tip of the tail) and maybe 2 1/2 inches tall, and the other thing (rock wart) is about 4 inches long.

Anyway, hope that helps until we can get pics up!

Any chance one of the pics will have a 12" figure posed for comparison?

One of the Sideshow posters said they were going to try and arrange a shot with Salacious or something to give some scale.

The scale photos have been posted in the blog:

Thanks for your patience

Thanks, Dusty!!





Now can we get a picture of Salacious riding on Bubo's back?

Where's that smelly trout? *smack*

I'll leave that one for you guys... maybe that would look good in the kitchen or on the doily

Thanks Dusty.

 

[anakin1138]

By the way continue to bring us more Jabba's Palace aliens please. Sideshow Rocks!!!:chew

 

[Customikey]

Thanks for this Dusty! It's a lot bigger than I thought when I ordered! He looks beautiful!

An idea then for the next picture.

He looks awesome!! I used a ruler to figure out how big he would be and it's about as big as I thought. He just looks so dang good though. Nice job guys!!

 

[MaulFan]

I'm the opposite, I thought he would be larger for some reason, but I'm glad to see he's the size he is, I can't wait to have a cool Jabba collection, but still waiting on the key ingredient.
