As longtime fans of customizing figures from The Clone Wars, we jumped at the opportunity to add an Oruba the Hutt to our Clone Wars action figure collection. This design was from Uzay Customs in Turkey who released this 3D print file on his Patreon account. We didn't have a 3D printer large enough to make him at home so we purchased a print on eBay from 3Dstufflk based in Sri Lanka.
Once the figure arrived in the mail, Dad painted the whole figure and then I painted the eyes and the spots on his face to complete him.
Oruba was a male Hutt crime lord and a ruling member of the Grand Hutt Council during the Clone Wars. Oruba was born with a genetic defect that left his skin devoid of pigment, giving him a dissimilar look to most other Hutts. For this reason, he was one of the select few Hutts to wear any form of clothing, sporting an elaborate cape and a beret. When Maul and Death Watch came before the Hutt Council to demand an alliance, Oruba asked them if they had anything to trade in exchange for such a thing. All of the Hutts present laughed heartily at the proposal before ordering their deaths, but the expected execution became a skirmish in which Oruba lost his life at the hands of Savage Opress, but not before giving Maul the location of Jabba's Palace, Tatooine.
