My store finally reset, and I finally found this, and it's pretty great. Tough to say it's $40 great, but it's great I think, and I'm happy despite the price I guess. Jabba (like others mentioned) is smaller than I imagined, but still sizable. The dais is quite large, and really nicely decoed. The Pillows are great accessories, as is Salacious Crumb...
Oolah is sort of a waste though. She's a good figure, very articulated and the most elaborately sewn softgoods of any figure to-date just because there's so much to them. But I'd much rather have gotten just about any Jabba Denizen (new or redone) over Oolah. I'm just not that into the strippers getting good figures I guess.
I find it really odd they did her whole outfit in the mesh... The POTF2 figure is better looking aesthetically, but I'll retire her, or have Jabba toting her around on my Episode 1 Shelf maybe.
The Jabba figure indeed is very fleshy and fragile feeling. I'm hopeful that's not the case. I like him a lot, and really don't want to worry that he'll degrade over time. He's pretty slick, and his bendy tail isn't as bendy as I hoped, but it is still kick ass.
I'm slightly disappointed at one thing with the set, and that is the lack of the arm rest/hookah thing not firmly snapping into the dais in some way. I'd have liked that to be moresturdy, as it is easy to bump it out of place.
LOVE that it rolls.
If you're doing a palace diorama, that's a great feature unto itself for having it roll around the rancor pit opening.
Cool set... $40's probably right where it is on the cusp of being too much, or being a good deal if it were slightly less. So I'm not disappointed. I even would consider a second one if I had another $40 in my pocket wasting some time, and put him in place of the SE Jabba from Docking Bay 94.
