Jabba 12" Image Thread

Wow jedibear, you've got a whole mini Jabba's palace there. The light shining down on Han is an especially nice touch.

Very impressive setup.

Jedibear, you've got the best Jabba setup I've seen so far. Everything looks just perfect!

 

[BadMoon]

Great job Jedibear! Now there are 3 of us!

Wonderful jedibear! The only downer about your set up is, seeing C-3PO and R2-D2 reminds me that I could have bought that pack for $30 last year, and I didn't!!!! AHHH!

I have 3PO and the serving tray R2 and a Regular R2.. I think they are gonna be modified and tweaked a bit. Anyone think its possible to repaint 3PO AND add in articulation?

I would LOVE to see that...especially if Threepio could end up with a ball-jointed head, more movement to the waist and a bend at the knees...the only thing about painting is...chrome. Any of the resident customizers have any comments on that?

Thanks for the compliments everyone...it's fun putting the set-up together when you've got some thing as inspiring as this figure and throne are....

Actually.. if I remember correctly, acetone HATES chrome. Hates it. So long as you do it patiently and carefully most of it could come off.. and be repainted gold. Im working on getting a dremel or other such rotary tool for my birthday, then let the fun begin.

I was lucky enough to score one of these TRU Exclusive 2 packs last year for around $20, they are still around I'm sure...

"these droids will serve you well" until something better comes along, I dig the light functions on them too.

I have trouble imagining life without my dremel. They're good stuff.

Oh and my wife said you all need to get a life!

Well, I don't have photoshop and I'm not making stairs or drilling a hole in my Hookah bowl but I was goofing around and made my version of "Revenge of the Jedi" so I figured I would post a pic.

My case arrived today and wow does this not look sweet now.

It actually makes the Grievous PF look small.

By no means do I fault you for purchasing the glass cover. However, I just do not see the point with Jabba. He's SUPPOSE to be dirty and grimy. Much like my Freddy and Jason collection, I plan to keep Jabba out in the open. The mild dust that accumulates will be occasionally cleaned .. but I think it adds to the diorama "feel." I consider it weathering. Just look at Jabba's palace in the movie. He must have fed his maids to the Sarlacc LONG ago.

P.S. I just have to ask ... how much did the cover cost?

 

[carbo-fation]

The case looks excellent Jason! Aren't you worried you may not have enough room for future Jabba releases?

It was $155 plus $30 shipping. Alot cheaper than what I paid for my PF cases. I will probably be buying another for my GG Dewback but hopefully its under $100 for it. I just cant put that much into it and not protect it.

I think Im going to only put the critters in with Jabba and no figures. I will be putting all the 12" figs in Detolfs with the box behind the fig two per shelf. I plan to place Jabbas box under the table when I finally get my room organized hopefully over break next week.

One other reason is that if I went much bigger then shipping would go up a scale and it would be like $205 for the case and $103 to ship so I didn't think it was worth it.

Speaking of the stairs, be sure and check out the "Jabba's Steps" thread Badmoon started up for some great images folks are posting of this great display idea...they got me goin'!

Check 'em out, build your set, and let's see!

The best set up I have seen so far!!! Great job.
