The loyal Klatooinian henchman of Jabba the Hutt made his debut in The Vintage Collection in 2012 as part of Wave 13. Capturing the rugged, desert-worn look of the mercenaries guarding the Great Pit of Carkoon in Return of the Jedi, Kithaba was a highly sought-after "skiff builder" figure. This release finally provided a super-articulated version of the character, replacing the older, more static sculpts and allowing collectors to accurately populate their 3.75-inch Desert Skiffs with the appropriate level of galactic scum.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Klatooinian Features: The sculpt is a faithful recreation of the alien mercenary, featuring his signature canine-like snout and the distinct, leathery texture of Klatooinian skin. He wears his iconic green bandana and a multi-layered tunic, which are sculpted with realistic folds and fabric-like textures.
• Deco & Weathering: The 2012 release features a hand-painted application with a palette of dusty tans, olive greens, and earthy browns. The paintwork includes subtle "sand" weathering on the boots and leggings, reflecting a lifetime of service in the harsh Tatooine environment.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized "rocker" ankles and ball-jointed hips are essential for a figure designed to maintain balance on the narrow, swaying decks of a Tatooine Skiff during a rescue attempt.
• Display Utility: This is the essential "rank-and-file" figure for any Great Pit of Carkoon or Jabba’s Barge diorama. He is best positioned on the skiff alongside Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) (VC144) or Weequay (VC107).

Accessories & Equipment

Kithaba comes prepared to defend the Hutt’s interests. He includes his signature force pike and a blaster pistol. A standout feature of the 2012 release is the functional holster on his right hip, which allows the blaster to be securely stored when he is manning the skiff’s steering vanes. Additionally, his bandolier is a separate, soft-plastic piece that sits naturally over his shoulder, adding a sense of layered gear to the overall silhouette.
