Life Size Jabba the Hutt Bust (Jabba in Carbonite) by John Coppinger

[icruise]

I just got this directly from John Coppinger, who sculpted the original Jabba puppet and also controlled his eyes. It's cast from an original skin that John saved from the production of Return of the Jedi. The actual puppet was scrapped, so the skin is the only thing left of the original prop. (A collector recently bought it from John and had a custom display made for it by Tom Spina Designs.)

It's about 5 feet wide by 3 feet tall and is made of cold cast aluminum and fiberglass, with a wooden backboard. You can get more info on my blog.

Nice!

I'd like a life-size Jabba though. Could use him as a mattress.

Holy crap!! How much does that monster weigh? You've got me thinking now....imagine one of those for the rancor!

 

[icruise]

It's actually not that heavy since it's made of cold cast aluminum fiberglass and wood, and it's partially hollow. Maybe 20 pounds.
