The Klatooinian mercenary who met his watery end in the Great Pit of Carkoon returned to The Vintage Collection in 2023. This reissue of Kithaba (Skiff Guard) captures the rugged, multi-layered look of Jabba’s henchmen from Return of the Jedi. Originally a 2012 release, this 2023 refresh was a critical update for fans of the "Tatooine Skiff" scene, ensuring that one of the most visible guards from the battle above the Sarlacc remained available for modern diorama builders.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Mercenary Gear: The sculpt is a faithful recreation of the Klatooinian’s eclectic desert gear. It features his signature green headgear, a textured brown tunic, and a specialized bandolier that crosses his chest. The figure maintains a sturdy, combat-ready silhouette appropriate for a palace enforcer.
• Photo-Real Deco: The 2023 reissue is headlined by the application of Photo-real technology. This provides a massive leap in quality for his alien features, specifically the canine-like snout and skin texture, which now appear more lifelike and weathered. The deep-set eyes are much sharper than the 2012 original, capturing his predatory gaze.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The "rocker" ankles and ball-jointed hips are essential for a figure designed to stand on the narrow, angled decks of a Tatooine Skiff or to be "kicked" overboard by Luke Skywalker.
• Display Utility: This is the essential "rank-and-file" figure for any Desert Skiff or Great Pit of Carkoon diorama. He is best displayed alongside Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) (VC144) and Weequay (VC107).

Accessories & Equipment

Kithaba comes prepared for a high-stakes execution. He includes his signature force pike and a blaster pistol. A standout feature of the 2023 release is the functional holster on his right hip, which allows for secure weapon storage during "barge-side" duty. His bandolier is a separate, soft-plastic piece that sits naturally over his shoulder, adding depth and a sense of layered equipment to the overall sculpt.
