Link: Big Fat Yellow Frog (Unproduced Jabba Bean Bag)

I found this interesting article the other day. It’s written by someone who attempted to get a Jabba the Hutt bean bag produced around the time of the Phantom Menace. (It never made it beyond the final prototype stage, unfortunately. Or perhaps it’s fortunate, since I don’t know where I would put one…) Anyway, it’s a fun look into how things can often get lost in translation (sometimes literally) when going from the designers in the US to the Chinese factories. I don’t want to spoil the surprise so I won’t show the picture of first Jabba bean bag prototype here, but you have to see it. I also love the concept art.

There was also a Jabba bean bag chair prototype made in 1995, as this page from the Tomart Toy Guide attests.
