INTRODUCTION:
Within Jabba the Hutt's desert palace on Tatooine, there is a special pit that houses a rancor. Over five meters in height, this reptilian-like creature has long, exaggerated arms, dangerous fangs and huge claws -- truly a fearsome sight. The crime lord uses the rancor as a means of eliminating enemies and failed employees. Its pit is located beneath Jabba's court, providing an excellent view for the crime lord and his associates as victims struggle helplessly to defend themselves. That all changes when Luke Skywalker is dropped into the loathsome Rancor pit. Armed with only a large bone leftover from one of the rancor's previous victims, the Jedi Knight conquers the horrible beast.

The second large creature in the creature assortment is the Rancor. Though under scaled just a bit the Rancor has an excellent sculpting job for the time with real feel skin! There really is not much articulation, just the arms and legs pivot. The only real problem is the balance on the Rancor; he does not stand up well due to loose joints. 

The Luke action figure comes with a bone to put into the Rancor's mouth, no not really the bone is too big for the Rancor’s mouth or as stated above, the Rancor is a bit under scaled. Overall this is a fine specimen in the creature assortment of toys.
