Clone Wars Jabba the Hutt Battle Pack

This is the most recent Jabba figure, from the Clone Wars movie/TV show. He comes in a “battle pack” with his interpreter droid TC-70 and water pipe/throne arm. It’s too bad that they don’t go to the trouble of actually making the full throne anymore. Just having the water pipe doesn’t seem like quite enough.

The figure itself is great. My only complaints are that his arms have a tendency to fall off and that they painted him in such a way that the coloring only really matches up when you have his tail stretched out behind him. Since almost everyone is going to be displaying him with his tail stretched out to the side as if he were on the throne, this is a little odd. But the sculpt is great and there is a little extra feature where his mouth will move if you move his arm. The head is partially made of a sort of rubbery material, so the mouth can move without requiring a visible joint.

I also discovered quite by accident that one of the nuts from my son’s toy building kit makes a perfect top hat for him. Of course I then had to make a cane by cutting off the ends of a Q-tip and coloring it black with a sharpie.
