Hey all,
Just updated our site with another original prop display. This time, it's what's thought to be the only surviving casting of Jabba the Hutt's face.
The original puppet was scrapped after filming, but Brandon Alinger of Prop Store found these incredible pieces. It includes an original set of plastic eye forms (insides and clear domes) and a massive foam latex face skin.
Brandon and I discussed and decided to keep everything very clean and minimal for the display. Everything was left unpainted and it was all about giving it a sense of completion and character without overly modifying original pieces.
Brian Lewis tackled the challenge of sculpting a form to properly support the pieces and did a phenomenal job. Brian's usual attention to detail gave us a really clean form that shows this piece off right. He also devised a great little mech to allow it to be displayed at multiple angles.
I also want to thank Marcelles Murdock of Prop Store, who took the finished photos... beautiful work there as well!
