JAWA & SALACIOUS B. CRUMB — HOLIDAY EDITION
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES (HASBRO)
Merry Christmas everybody! Do you remember that radical thing I did waaaaaaay back on Friday? You know, with the holiday themed Black Series figure? Well prepare for a reprise, because today I’m looking at a Jawa and a Salacious B Crumb.
THE FIGURE ITSELF
The Holiday Edition Jawa and Salacious B. Crumb are one of the six Holiday Edition Star Wars: The Black Series releases for 2023. This pair are a Fan Channel exclusive, and are more specifically geared towards the two-pack set-up than other figures. Also, while the Jawa is, like all the other generic characters from this subline just a Jawa, the Kowakian monkey-lizard is identified specifically as “Salacious B. Crumb.” The Jawa stands 4 inches tall and has 28 points of articulation. He reuses the standard Jawa body, which makes sense. It’s a decent sculpt, albeit one that’s a little outmoded these days, especially when it comes to posability. Still, it does what it needs to. Salacious is re-using his original SDCC-exclusive mold, which hasn’t got a ton of play. He’s a little shy of 3 inches tall and has 11 points of articulation. It’s a pretty good mold he’s using, and it replicates the puppet pretty well. Both figures get re-decoes. The Jawa has a Santa color scheme, as well as his attached blaster getting a Nerf-style color scheme. Salacious is now green, I’m presuming in a nod to the Grinch. It’s pretty striking, and it contrasts well with the Jawa.
THE ME HALF OF THE EQUATION
Since this set is a fan channel exclusive, it was exceedingly easy for me to get. On top of that, I think the Jawa’s color set up is honestly one of the best for this subset. It’s also nice to get another shot at the Salacious mold, even if it’s in an off-standard color scheme.
Thanks to my sponsors over at All Time Toys for setting me up with this figure to review. If you’re looking for cool toys both old and new, please check out their website and their eBay storefront.
