Sideshow 1/6 Jabba and Throne

[MaulFan]

Yeah, the old Jabba paint is like lime green and pale yellow - really not sure what they were thinking. Almost ruins a stellar sculpt.

My guess is looking at photos like this.

Stay clear of X-Plus Godzillas then, talk about rip off prices for hollow vinyl.

I know -- the price totally killed my Destroy All Monsters wannabe display.

Maybe the original SS Jabba color/paint isn't that off/bad after all.....

How did i miss this?
Anyway, Im not sure how I feel about this. Ill report back later.

 

[Metalsaber]

Not paying that price. Ouch.

 

[Creighton]

Too lazy to read- but is that polystone? The price doesn't even factor in shipping.

As someone who has Jabba 1/6 diaoroma... Not sure about this one. The tail really bothers me with the lack of a curl. Sitting on the throne with the tail hanging off is not movie accurate.

I like the interchange pieces but that tail is almost a deal breaker. Also the throne I need more on, it looks nearly identical to original.

That being said where is my band?

Don’t have either throne or Jabba and have wanted both since I started collecting 1/6 Star Wars. Really hope HT tackles this (or maybe they’ll reveal theirs next week and SSC just wanted to beat them to the punch!). But I will keep an eye on this. Production will most likely drop in paint but something needs to be done to those seams if this is how the proto looks

The size will screw you with shipping.

Polystone doesn't exist anymore, does it? The make-believe stuff.

Some day, I'll get someone to repaint my Jabba, and I think he'll look better than this. My throne came with a few broken teeth on the gargoyles when I bought it from a fellow collector, so I'll have to fix those at some point. Honestly, I keep considering a pre-order because of the real pillows. I just love those little pillows, guys.

I love my original Jabba & throne set. At first glance I liked the look of this new one.... but now? No. Happy to pass.

BRING ON THE MAX REBO BAND!!!
& not the crappy CG Special Edition BS ones!!!

Been saying that for over 10 years if you got this from Sideshow originally.

Sometimes its the smallest things that attract us.

In description on the SS listing it specifies the materials as PVC & the weight is TBD. I doubt it is solid like the originals polystone and more plastic. The original weighs 40 lbs.

Didn't they do the same thing with the Han Carbonite? The original with the Jabba palace background was polystone, and the new cloud city Carbon chamber base is plastic, no?

Here's the originals listing..

I don't care how much work they put into it, that price is asinine. $500 tops.

Yep agreed. The price is crazy. I’m wondering if the throne is polystone or something that’s making it more.

I have the original Jabba and throne, but will probably get this. It looks to be a nice upgrade with more display options. $800 is steep, but not unexpected these days. No doubt there will be more reissues coming, because it's a pretty easy cash grab. That's fine, especially if they make improvements along the way. However, I'd like to see SS produce new SW aliens.

I'd rather have hollow plastic than brittle "polystone".

I feel like v2 Bib Fortuna and v2 Gamorrean Guard are just around the corner.

Both could use the upgrade treatment desperately.


Deathstalker - sell those bitches immediately.

I like to having the option of smashing the polystone throne over the head of a potential home invader. Plastic would just bounce of his head and he'd shoot me. Decisions.

Thanks man. Thats the deal breaker for me. Im envisioning a big hunk or poorly painted plastic. The original one I had at least felt heavy and worth it. sorta.
