Jabbawookiee Urban Toy by RYCA

When you’ve been collecting Jabba merchandise for as long as I have, you start to think you’ve seen it all. And then something like this comes along. It’s so wonderfully bizarre that I just had to get one. Obviously, it’s based on “Jabberwocky,” which was originally the name of a poem in Lewis Carrol’s “Through the Looking Glass,” and was later made into a film by Terry Gilliam.

But I never would have thought to combine Jabba and Chewbacca in this way. According to the artist who created it (RYCA/aka Ryan Callanan), it was loosely based on the vintage Jabba the Hutt figure, which you can clearly see if you look at the two side by side. It’s a bit bigger than the vintage figure and made of solid resin, so it’s quite hefty.

This was part of a limited edition of 20, but as of right now you can still get them on RYCA’s website if you are interested (just be aware that they are not cheap).

RYCA has done lots of very interesting urban toys/sculptures that you can see on his Instagram page, including an earlier figure based on the vintage Jabba figure that turns Jabba into a boxer. Since I didn’t know about these at the time they were released, I’m really hoping he may release another color variant of these!
