Don't know how real this is... but another HT To-Do LIST just dropped:

Jabba and ANH 3PO really would be the last of the Star Wars figures I would buy from HT

My HT Star Wars collection would be done (enough)


Only Nute Gunray could bring my wallet out one last time. But, like Jabba, that will never happen.
Didn't Nute Gunray get cancelled due to racism? Even worse (given hwere HT is located), anti-Asian racism?
I don’t know, I could see a Hot Toys Jabba happening. Surely they wouldn’t let Sideshow out do them. They just did that Dewback, which I wouldn’t have expected. Jabba is actually smaller. And the throne would just be a big slab of plastic (thankfully not Sideshow’s desire to make everything unnecessarily heavy and brittle with polystone) with a little railing and bowl on top. Throw in a couple of pillows and a crumb reuse from 3 PO and you got a nice deluxe set. Jabba solo for non-deluxe.

Now a Rancor on the other hand is more in the Alien Queen realm of possibility.
Dewback is different - it was clearly created as a Mando Dewback in the show's heyday then they did a bit of an ANH tweak to some aspects to release it as an OT Dewback (even if all the Mando aspects are still clearly visible) when the Blurrg became a pegwarmer.

This wasn't HT saying "hey, let's do a ANH Dewback from scratch."

The only way we'd see something as massive as a 1/6 Jabba from HT would be if Jabba was featured on a D+ show, but even then, as a long line of HT figs have proven, it'll be a hybrid D+ show/OT look like the ugly HT Tusken and Biker Scout.

The other issue is that SSC has done two Jabbas, and the newer one is still available, and not many people can display something as massive as a 1/6 Jabba with many of them already owning one that's maybe 85% as good as a HT one would be.
