Jabba 12" Image Thread

[The ill Jedi]

I read somwhere that having Leia choking Jabba was George Lucas paying tribute to his friend and fellow director Francis Ford Coppola. Specifically the scene in The Godfather part 1 where Luca Brazzi is choked from behind.

Wow, I never thought of that! I can totally see the homage now!

Even if Jabba were mobile, we saw his speed in TPM and ANH and i don't see him having much fight power, hence all the goons to get his back. Even his tail isn't very useful, not like an ALIEN tail where it has speed and the ability to take people out. For those who don't understand, I capitalized the word to indicate the Xenomorph race of the Alien films.

You're wrong, some of the books clearly state that Jabba kicked ass in his day and was quite lethal in his prime. During his ROTJ he was older and obese.

the silicone probably wouldn't harm it, but the amount of silicone and resin it would take to reproduce it, it would end up costing a fortune either way.

The books say that Bib Fortuna's brain was transfered to other bodies too, so what does that tell ya.

That the EU has trouble moving on. Thak God when they killed the wookie, he was so utterly obliterated so as to negatre ANY possibility of his return.





Unless someone got his DNA for cloning prior to his death.

Never say never.

I can see the graphic novel now... "Wookie Ressurection".

Last FlexPay is Feb 5th, so I'm guessing Jabba's gonna start shipping out pretty damned soon!

Had to bump this thread. I'm just far too excited about Jabba. For me, he IS Return of the Jedi. He's the guy who was featured on my lunchbox. Jabba is engrained in my SW iconography near the very top, right behind Vader and The Emperor.

I am SO with you Mikey, all those overseas shots came and then Jabba news died, but I can't wait to get him, as every SSC item I've bought has exceeded my expectations in hand, I know Jabba will do the same. I truly hope mine is on the first ship.

I'm gonna need a bigger doily.

Thats to funny

 

[The Josh]

Thanks! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

 

[KitFisto]

I'm gonna need a bigger doily.

Why? Cause Jabba is a big "dolly"? Doily's for dolly's!

 

[Customikey]

Jabba was the Tony Montana of the galaxy!!

I wonder if he'll be listed in the 30 Days section or the Now Shipping section tonight....

This is probably old news, but I got my 10-15 day warning email for Jabba on the 24th of January....

 

[MaulFan]

He's in the 30 days, we're getting close, I've felt his presence.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yes of course he is. Anyone notice Leia and Plo are now 2nd Qtr and the Endor Troopers in April?

 

[MaulFan]

Who cares, at this point I WANT MY FAT GANGSTER. Who's with me!!!

WE WANT JABBA, WE WANT JABBA, WE WANT JABBA!!!!

 

[jason2885]

Yeah that probably means we will get all of them in the same week.

 

[The Josh]

Yup

 

[IrishJedi]

That's fine with me, since I didn't order a single Endor Rebel Trooper. blech!

Can't wait for Jabba, Leia and Plo though. :chew
