Photo of Bandai S.H. Figuarts Jabba the Hutt Figure Surfaces

I remember a couple of years ago, a bunch of photos of upcoming figures in Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts line were posted, along with a mention that they had also shown a Jabba the Hutt figure. I scoured the Internet at the time hoping to find a photo of that figure, but never found anything, and never really heard about it again. But a recent post on JediInsider included a photo of that very figure.

It’s a bit of an odd choice in some ways. You have to ask if the tail really need this much articulation, when it affects the appearance of the figure so much. I also wonder if the mouth is articulated at all — it’s hard to tell. Unfortunately we don’t seem to have any info on whether this is still on the way or if it has been canceled. The sculpt is otherwise quite good though, so it would be a shame if this never got released.
