News: Vintage Jabba the Hutt Play-Doh Set on Pawn Stars
I was watching the latest episode of Pawn Stars a minute ago (the Halloween episode), and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw that someone had brought in a vintage Jabba the Hutt Play-Doh Playset. The customer wanted $100 for it, which seems high for this piece, even in unopened condition. It’s true that they’re not all that common, but items like the Play-Doh playsets aren’t nearly as popular with collectors as the Kenner toys, even though I love them personally.
Rick, the owner of the pawnshop, gave the guy a bit of a hard time for knowing the name of Jabba’s sidekick Salacious Crumb, so I’d hate to hear what his reaction to my collection might be. π He ended up paying $50 for the set, which is pretty generous considering that he will then need to sell it at a profit. But in any case, I was excited to see one of my favorite Jabba collectibles getting a little love on a popular show like this. If you want to see the episode in question it can be streamed at the moment on history.com, although I believe they only make full episodes available for a limited time.
As a side note, I recently got a large spike in traffic coming to this site from Google searches on “Jabba the Hutt Play-Doh” and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why. I’m betting that this episode was the reason.
My husband was the one who sold this!
Cool to see an article about it π
God for you! He got ripped off π
