Star Wars: Climb aboard Hasbro's new toy version of Jabba's sail barge

Hasbro has created a prototype for a new $499 Star Wars toy: a 4-foot version of Jabba's sail barge from Return of the Jedi. If 5,000 fans order through the crowdfunding page HasLab, the toymaker will manufacture this epic plaything. Here's a tour of what's inside.

You get the sense that the slug-like Tatooine gangster barely goes above deck on his pleasure cruiser. This figurine is one of two included with the Khetanna.

This is the second action figure included with the package (more on that later): Yak Face, the alien con artist, seen here conversing with Jabba while the Hutt cools his corpulent frame on his slab throne, nibbling toad-like snacks.

Court guard Nikto, who is sold separately but included here for scale, is seen in the weapons room of the sail barge. Nothing says "pleasure cruise" like an arsenal of axes and electrostaffs.

Jabba's lieutenant Vizam steers the Khetanna from inside the barge's control room.

Before being taken out by Luke Skywalker, Vizam used this blaster on the top deck to nearly annihilate Han Solo and Lando Calrissian as they fought for their lives above the Sarlacc pit.

Ahoy! Yotts Oren beside the heavy blaster that Leia Organa would later aim at the deck to destroy the barge. The Weequay skiff master emerges from below deck.

Here's the deck of the Khetanna with the side panels enclosed and the cloth red sails removed. Several 3.75-inch figures (including a Gamorrean guard) show the scale of the barge.

Here you see the rear view of the barge, with sails extended.

As mentioned earlier, the sail barge set and collectors booklet will also come with a new edition of Yak Face, a.k.a. the alien grifter Saelt-Marae. Yak Face was the last Star Wars toy produced with the line in 1985, and the brand had faded so much by then that it was only distributed overseas, making this figure one of the most valuable items for collectors.

This figure is from Hasbro's Vintage Collection, and will be packaged with an exclusive Power of the Force card, complete with accessories and a collectible coin.
