I (improperly) stored a bunch of toys for a couple of years, the Wally Jabba among them. He melted into a Transformer he was in the tote with, pretty much ruining them both. Check those Jabbas!

So here's the question...  How would one tell if this thing has melted if it still in the box?  I grabbed one of these on the cheap but never opened it up.  Hearing that they are commanding a secondary market premium piques my interest in moving it...  It is pretty awesome looking though.

In package I don’t think there is way to tell if your Jabba melted, not without opening it.

When i found my Jabba had melted, there was no distinct smell, just that he fused to a Max Rebo piano. I have heard of no other reports of a smell, so a packaged Jabba is basically Schroedinnger’s Cat

Do you guys with melted Jabba's have pictures?  Was the "melt" due to actual heat or did the product have some kind of chemical reaction?  So weird.

He's in my Jabba's palace display. I'd have to move a bunch of things to get to him.

I think something similar happened to my E1 Chancellor Valorum.

Here are pictures of my Jabba and the damage it wrought. I don't think heat had anything to do with it, to this day the Jabba is quite sticky and it has been separated from the rest of the collection. No clue what to do with it now, such a shame...

Jabba looked like he had an American pie moment with Max’s, uh, “organ” as it were.

Wowsers! This is the first I've heard of this. Mine has been on display in a cabinet. Afraid to pick it up to look.

Funny you say that. Mine was fine when I opened it. But he's on his dais and hasn't been touched in two years. I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I'm scared to pick him up and see if he's permanently affixed to it

Hah I had similar feelings.  I’ve debated spraying mine down in adhesion prompter to act as a kind of sealant for it since mine was ok.  I should probably check him again, actually.  :-\

When I checked mine, he was oily but not sticking to anything.  I'm thinking of finding a Rancor set so I can swap him out.
This is the way.

I think with all the emphasis on ROTJ, we may see a Jabba rerelease sometime this year.
