THANKS TO HASLAB AND FANS, JABBA’S BARGE SETS SAIL

Via StarWars.com:

AS THE MASSIVE HASBRO CREATION PREPARES FOR DELIVERY TO NEARLY 9,000 BACKERS, STARWARS.COM GETS A GLIMPSE AT THE FINISHED TOY MASTERPIECE.

Reclining on his throne aboard the Khetanna, Jabba the Hutt gripped his microphone and growled the final death sentence for Luke Skywalker and his friends hovering just above the Sarlacc pit.

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.
