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.
