I seriously hope it's not the future you see! As much as I like Jabba, and all the foul creatures surrounding him, there's much more to the SW universe. I'm not saying that Budo & co. are not worth making, but things can be overdone... Even if there are lots and lots of people really freaking out over the Jabba environment, I belive an equally great number, are not. Especially those, that don't have the space to display such an environment in the first place.tomandshell said:I think that the Jabba's throne environment will continue to make appearances at Toy Fair and SDCC, with new figures & creatures added to it over time. Eventually there will be a lot of people kicking themselves for letting it go when it turns out that Sideshow intended this to be the foundation of a major portion of their Star Wars output.
Who knows what their long term plans are! They were thinking ahead giving Luke that pistol, and Bib and Jabba have drinking glasses that can go on R2's waiter tray. When the exclusive Chewie comes with his chain, people will want that Leia figure they skipped. I think they have planned things out in such a way that you will really regret not getting every exclusive Jabba's Palace character and item by the time all is said and done.
It was a bit of a let down for me that SSC did a Boussh Leia, even though she looks great. An Hoth Leia would have been more my taste. I'm afraid the same will happen with Lando: in stead of a Bespin Lando, it's more likely that SSC will make a Skiff Guard Lando, just to make him fit with the Jabba set-up. Perhaps the people at SSC think that any other version of Lando just wouldn't sell well enough? I don't know.
There's one thing I have to admit: from a kids point of view, this Jabba environment really must be heaven! But the thing is, how many kids could afford such a set-up?
