Star Wars™ The Black Series Jabba’s Rancor™ Pit from Hasbro®
Star Wars™ fans can re-create one of the biggest battles and missions in the Star Wars Saga with this set from The Black Series. Jabba’s Rancor™ Pit includes highly articulated 6-inch figures, all of which are featured in the epic Return of the Jedi scene where Jabba the Hut throws a Gamorrean Guard and Luke Skywalker into the Rancor Pit, while Princess Leia looks on in horror. This item will become available at Toys“R”Us stores later this year.
UPDATE!
One clarification from Toys”R”Us:
The figures are indeed 3.75-inch. Jabba is 6 inches, which is where the confusion is stemming from.

I’m thinking this is gonna be a little expensive.
Force Awakens news?
Dude stop being THAT guy. Clearly the fine people at SW7News have been repeatedly stating that they will post interesting SW news not TFA related. Sit down and shut up.
Fru T pulled out of light speed to close to the website,he is as clumsy as he is stupid… he should take the responsibility himself and apologize to me at once!
We’re doing some changes and article tagging on the site. So that if you want to see only TFA news you just need to press a button. 🙂
Most of the visitors are interested in this kind of news as well – I think. The site does a great job.
As for the changes, it would be fantastic to find a section on the page (just pressing a button) where the items (books, comics, series, etc.) of the new official timeline can be seen in a simple version. I mean just the titles, not much text.
I know I will continue to read all the new content. Because it is relevant to a Star Wars fan such as myself. Also this toy set looks awesome. To bad it’s only at Toys”R”us
I see hasbro can’t get 6″ off their minds. According to the press release, this set includes highly articulated 6″ figures.
These look like the 3 1/2″ collection. Is it the 6″? Thanks!
Shouldn’t Luke’s cloak be black?
It’s probably another one of those strange american things where black cloaks are racist, or summat.
No, it was brown in the movie.
Well, whatever colour it is it’s no where near as bright a shade as this.
It was also this lighter color in the original toys.
I doubt these are 6″ figures. Other sites are saying that’s a typo from TRU and they are actually 3 3/4″. Otherwise the rancor would be over 2 feet tall…
PETA aren’t going to be happy with the small mammal that has attached itself to the Gamorrean 😉
Ultra spoiler alter: Jabba will be the villain in The Force Awakens!!!
Poor Leia! She thought she was choking Jabba to death as payback. Instead, it was something else… 0_o
Sick bastard.
I hate liars. What a chump!
What about a sarlacc-toy with Boba Fett in it …
You can press a button to have him eject from the Sarlacc. We already find out a lot of our SW news from toy releases. They might as well officially announce Fett’s fate by releasing the Sarlacc Playset “The Black Series: Sarlaac Escape!” lol

Whaaaaaat? No rancor keeper??
I remember my mum sending away for a figure of him with tokens off the packs.
I loved those white card boxes arriving in the post. The emperor, chief chirpa, ran or keeper, 4lom, tie fighter pilot… Am I forgetting any?
Anakin (force ghost at end of original ROTJ)
Yup! I loved having that neon-green Hayden figurine..
Admiral Ackbar, Boba Fett, Bossk, Nien Nunb, Anakin (non-ghost version), B’Omarr Monk, Han Solo Stormtrooper, Mace Windu, action figure survival kit…
NEED
EXCLUSIVE SET CONTENTS: Money begging Rancor, Duel Vibro Axe Gamorrean Guard, C-3PO with exclusive R2-D2 gone to dungeon, Slave Leia already with put this bad brother of mine into the Rancor pit force stick and half silver chain around neck, prequel Luke Skywalker now episode III-ready to assist his father against goody Mr. Light side of the Force Obi-Wan, a solo (unknown drinker) drinking glass just to throw in for under 3 years of age choking hazzard, a force pike stick of a Rancor accidentally eaten Skiff Guard (but not Wee-Quay nor the $400+ freeze frame estimated value figure mint in package) and wowwed!? Or … Whooww, what am I doing in this set!? But … Heyyy I am at least six inches Jabba!! — My Jedi collecting skills IS NOT COMPLETE … therefore I am not a Jedi collector, YET!
Okay this seems a little extreme…
The packaging looks like it can’t handle all that figures !
$130
That poor Gamorrean Guard looks like he is wearing a fuzzy tutu rather then just a animal fur kilt.
This has to be like $120+
I hope they sort out C3PO’s paint job before they finally release a 6 inch version in the black series. They managed to get it right in the 90s for god’s sake! Why have they gone more down the Droids cartoon colour route? Hopefully it’s just a bad photo.
After Viral Hide post it & labels what is that video doing showing cooking something? An advertise?
jeez why couldn’t they have sold this first before selling the other figures,have half of them allready ,hope they sell rancor separate
c3po looks like droids cartoon version,bad color
i want this… haven’t bought sw toys in a loooong time!
