Star Wars Hasbro The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge The Khetanna

Product Information

Years ago, toy prototypes relied on wax-modeled figures and wooden carvings for larger ships and vehicles. Now, those intricate sculpts are rendered with special software and computer generation, then 3D printed. Where to Look: 7 minutes, 5 seconds — Bib Fortuna greets C-3PO and R2-D2 upon entering Jabba’s palace.

The loyal majordomo of Jabba the Hutt, Bib Fortuna would greet all who arrived at his master's palace. I get that I have a lot of pointless knowledge crammed into my head, but I’m usually one to disdain the EU and outside materials. But let’s take a look at the schematic for the Sail Barge. Not pictures above? A CANNON! Mos Eisley may notoriously be the wretched hive of scum and villainy. But if you have the courage and venture further, you’ll find the most disreputable characters in the galaxy lurking in the shadows of Jabba the Hutt’s throne room. Space-faring creatures, profit-seeking bounty hunters, spies, smugglers, and off-worlders just looking for a party, Jabba’s palace is the place to be. That is, unless you have a price on your head. While the price of the bigger Jabba sets hasn’t been good ( the Desert Skiff, however, remains exceptional value), it has been great for those looking to expand their figure collection. We’ve gotten Oola, updates to Gamorrean Guards, Bib Fortuna, and Jabba himself. We’ve gotten Boushh, that little monkey dude, and a bunch of other scoundrels to add to our collection. In short, if you like minifigures, you have to at least enjoy what these sets have given us.

Ultimate Collector Series: The Burrow

We wanted to do something that wasn't transactional in nature but gave up the opportunity to really kind of love the process and reveal it and share updates,” says Ninivaggi. “This is a year-long process and we created this beautiful book that shows all the behind-the-scenes work. We're celebrating Mark Boudreaux [Hasbro's senior principal designer on Star Wars], who has been part of every major vehicle since 1977, so it's a really beautiful kind of platform that goes well beyond just selling a product.” Each of the 250 individual parts were molded by factory machines, then pieced together by both machine and human hands, Dern notes. “All of these little, hinged shutters -- there’s quite a few on here -- somebody had to piece those together.” Weighing in just shy of 14 pounds, and measuring at 49.35 inches long, 14.64 inches wide, and just over 17 inches from the base to the tips of the sails, the barge is an impressively massive piece of merchandise. Although rereleases aren't out of the question, Evans says Hasbro is concentrated on creating new, highly-articulated figures to populate Jabba's sail barge, so expect to see some complementary action figures released in 2019.

The finished piece will be comparable to a model, the makers say. “The good thing on the Vintage Collection is it demands extra detail,” Evans says. “We've probably put two to three layers of plastic to really get that detail. It's almost like sort of a kit...a much more intricate design.” Star Wars: Return of the Jedi arrived in theaters on May 25, 1983, bringing an end to the original trilogy in memorable fashion. Marking its 40 th anniversary, StarWars.com presents “Jedi at 40,” a series of articles celebrating the film that brought us Jabba’s palace, Ewoks, Luke Skywalker’s final confrontation with the Emperor and Darth Vader, and so much more. It's definitely a lived-in world... I'm hoping people look at it with a sort of duality of like, 'Wow, that's what it looks like!' But also, 'Yeah, that's what it would look like.'” Of course, now seven years later, we’re getting a new Sail barge set, the fourth in what is almost a mini-theme of overpriced Jabba the Hut sets. It begs the question: are the new Jabba the Hutt figures painted by blind Tibetan monks? What else would justify the high prices for these sets… wait, the Rancor set was high too. Maybe there’s some secret deal to charge fans of the OT more for these things, I don’t know.

K. Operational shutters in Jabba's Lounge help to minimize distractions and protect from glares of the blazing twin suns of Tatooine When Jabba’s sail barge, HasLab’s first crowd-sourced project, hits doorsteps early next month, the painstakingly detailed Hasbro toy vehicle will allow fans of all ages to recreate this scene in Return of the Jedi, right down to a series of hinged shutters perfect for Threepio to peek through. Sturdier building methods for a lot of pieces, especially the connections of the sides to the frame, and better steering vane system Honestly, the worst thing about this feature is that it takes away from look and design of the set, chews up piece count that could have been used elsewhere to give us a much better model. It used to be that the use of the big, ugly corner slopes is what really bugged me. Then I built the set, and realized that they were just someone being lazy after having a model ruined. The first of the completely new minifigures we get is Ree-Yees (a name I know compliments to Star Wars Galaxies), our three-eyed thug destined to die a fiery death (along with a lot of prisoners and enslaved people like Max Rebo) when they blow up the barge. I’m all for more aliens in the Star Wars figure lexicon, and this one certainly doesn’t let us down. Plus, with a molded head, no alt face!

Two rotating cannons with 6 rail-mounted locations provides defense against enemies from every angle Greeata Jendowanian (singer and dancer, Rodian (female), Alive (Legends), played by Celia Fushille-Burke ), For 35 years, fans have been clamoring for their own piece of Star Wars extravagance and sophistication: a Hasbro recreation of Jabba's sail barge, the Khetanna, which the notorious crime lord used to cruise across the Dune Sea. With the launch of HasLab, an innovative new platform bringing big ideas and niche products to life, fans across the United States -- and, StarWars.com can exclusively reveal, in Canada, too! -- may soon be able to sail away with their own massive 4-foot-long, highly detailed recreation from the toy brand's comprehensive 3.75-inch scale Vintage Collection. The never-before-produced vehicle has been on the wish lists of fans and toy designers alike for decades, says Hasbro's director of Global Brand Strategy and Marketing Joe Ninivaggi. Hasbro, the makers of Star Wars toys, has finally released their most ambitious project, Jabba’s Sail Barge, known as the Khetana. Measuring over 4 feet long, this gigantic battle ship is the largest and most expensive mass produced Star Wars toy ever.Sitting next to the old one, it really doesn’t look all that different (other than years of dust marring the clear cups on my old R2). A complete aside… if there was ever a figure that deserved the Chrome treatment, it’s our buddy R2. Seriously LEGO… you want to get people excited for a poromotion? Make a shiny R2-D2. The money from Don alone could buy one of the LEGO owners a new solid gold shark tank. Early glimpses at the 3D modeling for the ship reveal a baby rancor scaling the side of Jabba's lounge wall, an armory, and intricate murals and grisly trophies reminiscent of his other favorite decoration -- Captain Solo in carbonite. Later in the Imperial Era, Jabba welcomed two new smugglers into his employ, the Corellian human Han Solo and his Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca. As the Hutt's majordomo, Fortuna often found himself dealing with the pair, handing them assignments from Jabba and delineating their pay. One such assignment [20] between around 8 BBY and 2 BBY [21] was no different, as Fortuna informed Solo that the Hutt lord was willing to pay one million credits for the delivery of a verillix urn that contained the ashes of Krestrel D'Naran, a rival of Jabba. To Solo's dismay, Fortuna also specified that the smugglers would be required to work with Greedo, a Rodian bounty hunter of Jabba's who had been the first to learn of the urn. Reluctantly, the trio agreed to the job and headed for Solo's homeworld of Corellia. [20] The size of this thing is incredible,” Dern says. “From a manufacturing/tooling perspective, this is quite an undertaking. The tooling just to create something at this scale, with such an amazing level of detail, is a remarkable achievement."
