The Nikto guard and skilled pilot of Jabba the Hutt’s inner circle made a triumphant return to The Vintage Collection in 2023. This reissue of Wooof (originally released in 2010) captures the gritty, weathered aesthetic of the desert marauders from Return of the Jedi. While the original was a deep-cut favorite, this 2023 refresh brought the figure into the modern era with significant deco upgrades, ensuring this Jabba’s Palace stalwart looks as menacing as he did on the decks of the Khetanna.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Nikto Silhouette: The sculpt remains a standout for alien design, featuring the distinct ridged skin and facial horns of the Nikto species. The figure captures his rugged, layered desert attire, including the heavy flight vest and specialized gauntlets that reflect his role as a skiff pilot.
• Modern Deco: The 2023 reissue benefits from modern paint applications, providing a more realistic and nuanced skin tone for his green reptilian features. The clothing textures feature enhanced washes that simulate years of exposure to the twin suns of Tatooine, highlighting the fine sculpted details of his vest and trousers.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The ball-jointed torso and "rocker" ankles are essential for this figure, allowing Wooof to achieve the wide, braced stances required for guarding a Desert Skiff or the Great Pit of Carkoon.
• Display Utility: This is the mandatory "enforcer" for any Jabba’s Palace or Sail Barge diorama. He is best positioned alongside Klaatu (VC135) or standing watch over Han Solo in Carbonite (VC191).

Accessories & Equipment

Wooof comes prepared to defend the Hutt’s interests with a versatile arsenal. He includes his signature vibro-ax, featuring a weathered metallic finish and a long, sturdy haft. A standout feature of the 2023 release is the DL-17 blaster pistol, which fits securely into a functional holster on his right hip. Additionally, he comes equipped with a long-range blaster rifle and a removable bandolier, allowing for multiple display options—from a heavy-duty skiff guard to a more lightly equipped palace sentry.
