The Visible Hutt Anatomical Jabba the Hutt Figure: Everybody Gangster Until the Scalpel Comes Out

Posted on by

I never thought that someone would be a hardcore fan of Jabba the Hutt, but once again I’ve been reminded that there are all kinds of people in this world. Toy designer and maker Mighty Jabba not only has various collectibles of the Star Wars mob boss, but he also painstakingly designed, printed, and sculpted an anatomical figure of the menacing slug.

Mighty Jabba calls his creation The Visible Hutt, a nod to the similarly named American educational figures that were released in 1959. He also does acknowledge the influence of the legendary Jason Freeny and his line of anatomical figures. But Mighty Jabba deserves a lot of credit himself since he designed the skeleton and “vague internal organs” himself.

Mighty Jabba said he’s going to make a small batch of the figure to sell. Keep an eye on his Instagram page for announcements and more photos of the figure, including this a sweet retro box.

Baby Jabba the Hutt Sculptures Ready to Take on Baby Yoda

Posted on by

Move over baby Yoda, there’s a new precious Star Wars baby in the galaxy. Sculpted and cast by artist Nicholas J. Brown (aka LoreCraft), these baby Jabba silicone sculptures are based on a 3D character design created by fellow artist Leonardo Viti. Is this really what a baby Hutt would look like? No clue, and I’m not sure I care to find out.

The limited-edition baby Jabbas are made of the same silicone as the baby Yoda master puppet used in The Mandalorian, have custom glass eyes, a detachable tongue (for displaying with or without), and can be painted in any color combination you wish. Unfortunately for anybody interested in one that doesn’t have intergalactic crime lord money, they cost around $780. That’s a lot of Beskar!

I want one, but at the same time, I’ve sort of grown fond of my kidneys over the years. Granted I have no clue what they do and I’ve heard rumors you only need one, but, just like the tire in the backseat of my car, I don’t mind having a spare, you know?

Slave Leia Slays Jabba in This Epic LEGO Sculpture

Posted on by

The original Star Wars trilogy is packed with memorable moments. Among them was the scene in Return of the Jedi where Princess Leia, wearing not much more than a metal bikini, uses the very chains that bind her to strangle her captor, Jabba the Hutt. This scene has been immortalized in LEGO form, and would make an amazing centerpiece for any Star Wars fan’s collection.

LEGO artist Iain Heath aka Ochre Jelly created this incredible one-of-a-kind sculpture that brilliantly captures that classic scene. I love how he managed to create the curves of Jabba’s blubbery body by stacking bricks, and how he captured the expression on Jabba’s face as he sticks his tongue out for one last gasp of air.

The sculpture is made entirely from LEGO bricks, and held together entirely with regular LEGO connection points, though Iain says he’ll hit it with some glue at critical points to make sure that it stays together forever. If you want this LEGO Star Wars masterpiece, it’s available from the Bricks of Character Etsy shop for $299.99. Also, bonus points for Leia’s croissant bikini.

Hasbro Is Crowdfunding a Crazy Star Wars Toy

Posted on by

Hasbro has unveiled HASLAB, which is their take on Kickstarter. The new crowdfunding program is starting with a huge and crazy toy. That would be a 4-foot long, 14 pound, detailed recreation of Jabba’s Sail Barge from Return of the Jedi. No doubt about it, serious toy collectors are going to love HASLAB.

The new program gives Hasbro’s passionate fans the opportunity to be more directly involved in the production of premium toys. The project will initially focus on stuff that is too crazy to be a part of the mainstream toy line. It works like this: Hasbro will announce a potential project, and if enough fans preorder the toy by a certain date, it will get made and released exclusively to backers of the project. This is a great idea and it is the only way certain toys would see the light of day.

The Khetanna Sail Barge replica is designed to be in scale with the 3.75″ “Vintage Collection” of Star Wars action figures, which makes this thing 49.35″ long, and just over 17″ high. It has a fully-detailed interior accessible by removable panels and includes a special figure of Jabba himself. Buyers will also get a production booklet detailing how the vehicle was translated from the movie to a toy.

If you’re interested in pre-ordering Jabba’s Barge, head over to the HASLAB website now and pledge your interest (and your $499.99). If they get 5000 backers 4/3/2018, the ship will go into production, with Barges going out around the end of February 2019.

Jabba the Hutt Soap Doesn’t Smell as Gross as It Looks

Posted on by

There are few more rank, nasty, and vile characters in the history of film than Jabba the Hutt. This disgusting fat worm of a creature took our princess hostage and subjected her to horrible humiliation, and kept a frozen Han Solo in his collection. While Return of the Jedi wasn’t available in Smell-o-vision, I can only imagine he smelled terrible. Subsisting on a diet of toads does that to a guy.

Fortunately, this Jabba the Hutt soap won’t make you smell like partially digested Klatooine paddy frogs. In fact, it’s available in all kinds of delightful fragrances, including lemon, peach, cinnamon, jasmine, english rose, and even frankincense and myrrh. I have no idea what the latter smell like, but I just liked saying them. You can also choose from a variety of colors, but I think green or brown are the only appropriate ones here.

You can pick up a Jabba the Hutt soap from Etsy seller NerdySoap for about $5(USD). They also make a larger version for about $17 that comes with a fully unfurled tail.

While you’re at it, you might want to grab a Han Solo in carbonite soap to add to your trophy room.

Star Wars Snack Bowls Fill Your Sarlacc Pit with Nummies

Posted on by

My only complaint about these Star Wars Snack Bowls is that there is no Sarlacc Pit, which would have made complete sense, but at least you can use these to fill your own bottomless Sarlacc Pit of a stomach.

You can now eat from the upside down heads of Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, or a Wampa. Clearly they are running out of licensing ideas.

Admittedly, these ceramic bowls are weird and creepy, but your love for all things Star Wars knows no bounds, so snack away, taking food from their mouths and putting it into yours.

They are $16.99(USD) each from ThinkGeek. A tauntaun lying down and cut open would have also been a great idea. I would love to snack from that bowl.

One of the most iconic scenes in the entire Star Wars saga has to be the moment in Return of the Jedi where Princess Leia chokes the life out of Jabba the Hutt. After turning her into his personal slave, dressing her in an uncomfortable metal bikini, and shackling her in chains, Leia had quite enough. Now, this classic moment has been memorialized in LEGO, courtesy of artist Iain “Ochre Jelly” Heath.

This amazing build perfectly captures the moment, from the chains around Jabba’s neck, to the giant tongue sticking out of his mouth as he gasps for his last breath of air. It’s an amazing build, and I wish LEGO would turn this into an official kit, even though I know it’s something they’d never do.

Check out the full image gallery over at Flickr. Amazing job, Iain!

Jabba the Hutt Shepherd’s Pie: Return of the Vegan

Posted on by

I could never be a vegan or vegetarian, I like bacon and steak, and anything else meaty and tasty. I fully support vegans and their lifestyle, it just means more bacon for me. Even if it’s got no meat in it, this might be the most awesome shepherd’s pie I have ever seen. It has Jabba sitting on top with his disapproving frown.

He floats atop a meatless pie; I’d want some beef or chicken in mine personally. This entree looks very cool, and the only thing lacking is a Slave Leia cupcake tethered to Jabba for desert.

jaba-pie-2zoom in

The pie is made from potatoes, soy milk, and vegetable stock. I want to eat this pretty badly. I tried making Shepherd’s pie once, it didn’t go so well and ended up with mushy potatoes and hard vegetables. The kids remind me of that fact each time I want to try and cook something new.

Head over to Rocket News 24 for the full recipe if you want to make your own Jabba pie.

5-year-old Girl’s Take on Slave Leia is ADORABLE

Posted on by

If you don’t have kids, then it might be hard to appreciate exactly how hilariously insightful they can be at times. Take this little five-year-old British girl talking with her father about the merits of the outfit that Princess Leia wore in that famous Jabba the Hutt scene.

jabbazoom in

As horny males, we know that slave Leia looked smoking hot and having your girlfriend or wife dress up like that is a serious fantasy for many geeks. On the other hand, many folks just think it was demeaning to make Leia wear that thing. You need to hear this conversation recorded between Adam Buxton and his 5-year-old daughter. She knows Jabba is bad, but she thinks the outfit Leia wears is actually quite nice:

It has a nice skirt and a tiara. What more could a little girl ask for? She figures if she were a slave with Jabba, she would escape but ask them if she could keep the outfit because it’s quite nice. Watch the video for a geek, cuteness overload.

Star Wars Stuffed Animals Keep You Warm at Night

Posted on by

We have seen plenty of plush toys from the Star Wars universe. The last time we talked Star Wars stuffed items,said stuffies were of spacecraft from the movies. This time out we get actual stuffed animals, assuming Jabba the Hutt is some sort of an animal.

There are six different creatures to choose from including a Wampa, Bantha, Tauntaun, Rancor, Dewback, and the aforementioned Hutt. I’m not sure how you can make Star Wars stuffed animals and not include an Ewok in the mix.

The Rancor is sort of cute as is the Wampa. My favorite is the Tauntaun, which doesn’t stink if you use it to stay warm on those cold Hoth nights. You can get any of the six characters for $14.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.
