The Sideshow Jabba stinks thread

[jason2885]

Mine was still wet when it came out of the box.... when i moved his arms some (varnish?) rubbed off on my finger tips. And he smelled like a$$

I noticed the paint on my fingers as well. It was his left hand.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

He did when I took him out. Now, I don't smell anything.

That means your room smells worse than Jabba!

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I tell you when I get him. Besides an invoice, there has been no news. Maybe I can sniff my PF Hulk for the time being. Is it a similar smell?

 

[Customikey]

I don't care if he smells, as long as he smells HERE!!!!!

I thought this thread would be about Jabba being a bad item to our rooms. It seems he really stinks lol

You're a foul one, Mr. Jabba / You're a nasty, wasty skunk / Your mind is filled with unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk / Mr. Jabba / The words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: Stink, stank, stunk!

I had no funny smell with mine. Or maybe I'm just used to the paint smells that come from the new figures.
Hell, everytime I open a new SS or Hasbro figure I put it up to my nose and smell it....MMMM, love that new paint smell!

Bodie you weren't supposed to tell anyone.

Mine smelled right when I opened him (which is obviously norm for offgasing toys)... but it went away pretty fast. No lingering smell. So I voted in the "No" category....

Mine smalled for a few seconds but was all good pretty quick, It probally helped that it was warm and had the window open.

 

[Darth Fredius]

Well just use some Chanel parfum on him.

Does it smell like a brand new pencil case, you know that rubbery/pvc smell?

 

[The ill Jedi]

My throne smelled like a hundred Sharpie markers and got me high as hell. Haven't opened my Jabba yet, but I'll make sure to have proper ventilation when I do.

 

[King Darkness]

Well it took about 4 days, but Jabba has finally aired out. Thank God. He was by far the stinkiest collectible I have ever gotten

 

[tinister]

When you guys say he smells - exactly what kind of smell is it?

New Paint Smell?
Rubber Smell?

Just curious.

Tin

 

[MaulFan]

I'd wager it's the paint, not the vinyl.

 

[galactiboy]

I agree its the paint... and after a few days the paint is no longer tacky and my room smells just fine

 

[fassa_the_hutt]

FedEx is on it's way with the mighty Jabba and the throne, it should arrive any minute now, can't wait to open the box and smell his stench

 

[Kwerve_Supper]

Smelled for a few minutes right at the opening, but then it went away quickly. Like many others, his arms were a bit tacky, although I wouldn't say they were wet.
