INTRODUCTION
Salacious B. Crumb a Kowakian monkey-lizard was the court
Jester for Jabba The Hutt. Salacious met Jabba when the Hutt’s
personal starship was docked. He managed to sneak his way on to the
craft and when Jabba, Bib, and Bildo Kwerve came back Salacious was
there to toss food at them. This made all three angry but after some
time Jabba became so fond of Salacious that he told him if Salacious
could make him laugh once a day he would let him live, and get all
the food he wanted. However, Salacious would die on Jabba’s Sail
Barge during the explosion.
Another creature that was known in Jabba’s Palace was Ghoel. A Wol
Cabashite who was left behind in the palace many years ago is a
evolved descendent of parasitic slugs. Though he doesn’t look it
Ghoel is actually is very intelligent. He uses his tongue to taste
the people, droids, and aliens that walk by him.
Sideshow Collectibles made Salacious, Ghoel, and friends the first
creature pack and the third figure in their Scum and Villainy Line
though he is actually the 10th to ship. Salacious was put up for
sale back in July of 2006.
If you are familiar with Sideshow Collectibles they do things in
Regular, Exclusive Formats, and now Inclusive. This review of the
Salacious figure will be of the Inclusive Version.
PACKAGING - 10
Sideshow with the Salacious Creature Pack stayed with nearly the
same design they have with all the figures. The only difference is
that instead of multiple windows you only get one. You still get all
the same info telling you about the line and creatures in the pack
and that they belong in the Scum and Villainy Line. As with all the
other figures before Salacious comes with a cool sticker telling you
which version you are receiving. A long the side of the box you have
the name of the figure and at the bottom. On both sides you get
great shots of Salacious and the other creatures on the back of the
box you get another great shot with some nice pictures from ROTJ.
Along with some of the upcoming figures located at the bottom.
SCULPTING - 10
The work done on Salacious and the other creatures is really well
done. Very nice details especially since none of these are very big
at all. When looking at Salacious you just see the court jester
personality coming out in him.
PAINT - 10
The paint job is as good on these little guys as they have been on
any of the bigger pieces in the line. Comparing stills of ROTJ to
this figure Salacious matches perfectly.
ARTICULATION - 2
There is nearly no articulation in these figures at all. Salacious
has some movement in his arms and Ghoel has a tongue that you can
bend. Other than that there is not much here.
ACCESSORIES - 10
Salacious is the main figure in this pack. However, you also get
Ghoel, Sand Skitter, and Dwarf Varactyl. I’m giving these guys a 10
because of how they will compliment the bigger picture being Jabba’s
Palace setup.
OUTFIT - N/A
No outfit here.
VALUE - 10
At $33 dollars to be able have items that will help you create the
best Jabba setup we’ve seen is awesome! At $8 a figure when you
break it down this is a much better buy than if you went out and
bought some Hasbro figures as Wal-Mart.
OVERALL - 10
I’m giving this Creature Pack a ten because of overall how well
these figures are done but also because of what they lend to
completing.
