So, you have a 24″ long Jabba the Hutt, his slimy polystone throne covered with Hutt drippings and murdered concubine juices, a pack of Tatooine palace aliens, a 1/6th scale Bib Fortuna and Boushh – and now, Sideshow Toys is previewing Jabba’s favorite piece of home decor: a guy named Han Solo frozen in carbonite. Nothing says ‘welcome to my house’ more than a taxidermied, screaming Harrison Ford.
An ‘environment’ piece for a 12″ figure is sure to be weighty, huge and expensive, and we’re not even sure if the piece lights up (for that ‘look at my fancy Han Solo’ experience), but the potential of adding this nerd-iconic piece to a completely unsexy Jabba display is just a little exciting – again, a fact I’m ashamed to admit. Jabba’s Throne ran around $200, so I expect this to fall in that general vicinity. Star Wars is serious business.
