Toy Notes: Jabba the Hutt Playset is one of the most iconic toys of the entire Star Wars series. The playset originally included Jabba with an articulated tail, his dias from the movie, and his minion Salacious Crumb. The toy designers incorporated the dungeon doors that sit on top of the dias,which reference Luke’s fall into the Rancor pit. They can open to re-create the scene. The dias also comes with a chain/shackle to capture Princess Leia.
