"JAWA with PALM LEAF FAN" created by Darth Daddy

It's always fun to add to the Jabba the Hutt display in the Star Wars showroom and this is an embellishment we have been wanting to add for a long time now.  We can't say why it took so long. It was probably because we were always busy working on some other project, but we didn't want to procrastinate any longer. We took an accessory from the Boushh Leia and sculpted a palm leaf out of ProCreate onto the end of it.  After that we just painted it green.  It is a quick and easy custom that can help you really enhance your own Jabba diorama at some point.  We're curious to see if Hasbro ever gives us this version of a Jawa down the line, but with new movie releases coming ever year, it isn't very likely.

McRobo Creations - 3.75" Khetanna Sail Barge & Imperial Star Destroyer


Trying to decide on how to use your income tax return? Well, McRobo Creations is currently offering some pretty incredible vehicle/playsets that will really knock your socks off!

First, is an impressive 3.75" Khetanna Sail Barge for purchase. Since Hasbro stated that they will not be making this iconic behemoth, this is likely your only chance to get one in your Star Wars collection. Check it out, they offer the vehicle in four different variations with pricing ranging from $500 to $3,000! McRobo Creations also makes other large-scale Star Wars vehicles too.


Jabba's Barge Lucas-Style



JABBA's BARGE - DELUXE













JABBA's BARGE - STANDARD

For a more finished presentation there is the Standard Jabba's Barge model. It features four bay doors with hinges that open into the interior, posable sails, turning gun turrets, gun racks on the main sails posts, a solid cannon, and four lifts for hover appearance. Made of new styrene sheet plastic, it's sturdy and durable, and the thickness of a nickel. Hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind. Painted with quality paint with metallic flake. The finished piece is four feet long, a foot wide and approximately 3 feet tall.



MODELER's PLAIN WHITE HULL

The cheapest item is the Plain White Basic Hull version. 














"Imperial Star Destroyer"
created by McRobo Creations



The second item that they sell is a colossal Imperial Star Destroyer playset. 160 hours of work went into this piece. Materials are mostly ABS Flat Plastic (Styrene) and it is just gorgeous! The 6' long playset version runs for $1,600, but if that price is a little too steep for you, there is also a non-playset version that sells for extremely reasonable price of $450. Maybe we have expensive tastes, but the playset version is just beautiful. We're sure any Star Wars fans would love one of these!

"MOSEP BINNEED - JABBA's PALACE" created by Darth Daddy

We were really happy when Hasbro released Mosep Binneed in his Cantina outfit.  Releasing that figure gave Star Wars customizers a body and head for Tawss Khaa, and parts to create Mosep in Return of the Jedi. With an extra head we could create Mosep as he appears in Jabba's Palace.  We used the body of a Vintage Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker also from Return of the Jedi and swapped out the forearms with the gloves of an AT-ST Pilot.  I grabbed the tag that fell of of Elias' athletic shorts to use for his shawl. This was just a really quick, no paint kit-bash figure to populate the Jabba diorama on Elias' shelf.  It took less than 5 minutes to make.

After I completed this figure, I saw a version created of this character that was created by Star Wars customizer, Jabbapalacespy that I liked even more than my own.  I may revisit this character at a later date and attempt to mimic what he did.

SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE






"I also travel under Jabba's name from time to time, representing his interests. It doesn't hurt to confuse the competition. So yes, for today's purposes − with our master's kind permission − you can say that I am Jabba."―Mosep Binneed [src]


Mosep Binneed was a Nimbanel accountant who served Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Like most of his species, Binneed entered a bureaucratic profession and worked for the Hutts, eventually ending up on Tatooine during the early Galactic Civil War. Operating out of Mos Eisley spaceport on Tatooine in the Outer Rim, Binneed managed the finances of crime lord Jabba the Hutt to the best of his efforts, along with a number of other accountants, many of whom were also Nimbanese. He was present in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in 0 BBY whenObi-Wan Kenobi attacked Ponda Baba with a lightsaber.

After the death of Binneed's superior, Lhojugg, Binneed took charge of Jabba's financial affairs and was based in the Hutt's town house. He had many informants and contacts in the organizations of Jabba's criminal rivals, and he used their information to disrupt the competitors' flow of funding. However, he knew that Jabba would have no hesitation to end his life if he failed in his tasks, and Binneed was constantly in fear of such a fate. He had many underlings, though some of them wished to work against Jabba, mismanaging his books and seeking to leave his employ.
