Entertainment Weekly just revealed Hasbro’s SDCC exclusive for the Star Wars Black 6 inch series- Jabba the Hutt with Salacious Crumb. And the hookah! We had already seen Jabba himself but Crumb was only hinted to be revealed. The hookah, now that is a surprise. And the whole thing looks great! As far as we know at this time, Jabba will still come by himself at retail later.
He’s not be among the cast members of Episode VII, but Jabba the Hutt will be at Comic-Con 2014 nonetheless as one of Hasbro’s Black Series collectibles.
Seen here for the first time, the 6-inch toy captures Tatooine’s giant slug-like gangster in all his frog-slurping glory, complete with hookah (I hope you have a prescription for what’s in there, Jabba), and cackling, diminutive sidekick Salacious Crumb.*
The figures are packed in a display that recreates the villains throne room lair from Return of the Jedi, including space for last year’s Comic-Con exclusive toy, a Carbonite-frozen Han Solo.
Each year, Hasbro crafts a selection of toys that are exclusive to San Diego’s Comic-Con gathering. Some are later sold on HasbroToyShop.com, but it’s always a limited run. Good luck finding that Solo from last year.
