STAR WARS® JABBA’S THRONE

Place your JABBA THE HUTT™ and SALACIOUS CRUMB™ figures on the throne to watch as your Twi’lek dancer OOLA™ figure performs. Use JABBA’S poseable tail to show his approval for the dance—or move SALACIOUS CRUMB to indicate his master’s displeasure! Then, set the crime lord and his henchman back on the throne to await his next sinister appointment.
We posted about the upcoming Halo Minimates yesterday, and boom (head shot!) – next thing you know, DST shows off these Halo Minimates Warthogs! These are going to be tough to resist.
Because Halo Minimates aren’t going to drive Mini Camrys
That’s right, we are making Minimates sized Warthogs! Available in regular (Toys R Us) or Dirty (Specialty Stores). You couldn’t expect Halo Minimates to get around in anything less.
Hagop and I got to see these way back during Toy Fair in February, but they were in a strict no photography zone. We had to go back into an area behind a curtain, then they lifted up a cover to reveal Halo Minimates. I think this is a property that totally makes sense for the Minimates treatment.
Prepare to battle The Covenant…Minimates style!
Here is a first look at DST’s new Halo Minimates in packaging. These 2-packs are only available at Toys R Us!
I’m not quite sure how, but trs from the Fwoosh, who got us some really early packaged pics of DC Universe Classics wave 11 almost a year ago, has done it again. Now he has got his hands on what is probably one of the first sets of the Wal-Mart exclusive wave 14 in the United States – at least not ones that fell out of the back of a truck in China.
He is guessing that these will start hitting Wal-Marts within the next two weeks. He particularly liked how Zatanna turned out, and I’m inclined to agree!
I’ll hold off on my final thoughts until I have these in hand, but I am concerned about a trend of larger heads. Guy Gardner has giant head syndrome from the Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack, and OMAC has it from wave 15. Here it looks like Alan Scott and Obsidian have it too. Could be hereditary, in their case. 😉
