Hobbylink Japan wrote:Wow, this is a huge toy! Jabba's icky pet, the Rancor, meets up with Luke Skywalker in this action figure playset depicting a memorable scene in "Return of the Jedi." The thoroughly hideous Rancor's arms are articulated at the wrists and shoulders, and his legs are articulated at the hips; and what would a Rancor be without a mouth that opens wide? Luke is jointed at shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and knees, and he has a large bone to stick in the Rancor's mouth (or, you know, do other things with--it's up to you!). Luke's lightsaber is also included. The Rancor stands about 31cm (almost 12 1/4 inches) tall, and the inside of the box is a diorama of the Rancor's den! This was produced by Hasbro in 2008, and has a Tomy Direct label on the box to sell it in Japan.
Without further ado... here's the boxed pics.

The palace of Jabba the Hutt, crime lord of Tatooine, is full of unpleasant surprises - including a trapdoor that sends Luke Skywalker tumbling into a rancor pit. The young jedi is destined to become the carnivorous creature's next meal unless he finds a way to defeat the beast. Luke batles the rancor, using the bone of a previous victim - and a well-aimed rock - to dispatch the rancor and free himself from the pit.
Here's the close-ups of the mouth,

The internals of the rancor's right hand, allows it to be partly pose-able as shown.

Woah that is probably the best rancor sculpt by Hasbro so far.
It looks really awesome. :shock:
