Hasbro’s crowdfunding project to make a massive toy replica of Jabba’s Sail Barge from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi has earned the minimum number of financial backers needed to go into production.
And while Hasbro has created such vehicles as Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter, Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon and the Galactic Empire’s AT-AT, no Star Wars toy has approached the enormity of Jabba’s Sail Barge (aka the Khetanna), which was introduced at Toy Fair in New York City in February.
Hasbro plans on shipping Jabba’s Sail Barge to its backers on February 28, 2019.
Even in prototype form at the world’s largest annual toy event, Jabba’s Sail Barge made fans and collectors drool with anticipation but bring about angst at the same time.
