Lego Star Wars 9496 - Desert Skiff (Toys)

Customer Review

With this set LEGO brings for the second time a Desert Skiff in the toy shelves. Compared to its predecessor (7104) this Skiff is a bit longer and much closer to the film model of "The Return of the Jedi".

A little fat helps building instructions during assembly. That works perfectly and there are fortunately no sticker required. After a short construction period you have the Desert Skiff (a floating carrier vessel) and a pit with a voracious Sarlacc (a kind of over-sized, carnivorous plant that buried in the desert sand, waiting to devour their victims) standing before him.

The Desert Skiff is about 24 cm long. The two short control blades can be aligned in different positions. There is a snip rocket at the bottom left of the skiffs. On the right side (or should read the starboard?) Swings out the plank, on the hatch is to be transported into the jaws of the Sarlacc. In the middle of the skiffs, a hinged storage space for weapons is (in it are two laser guns hidden). Three columns of two round, transparent stones, levitate the transport ship. The amount, however, is not enough to let Luke actually fall into the jaws of the Sarlacc.

The Sarlacc is reinforced with two tentacles and eight teeth. His throat is large enough that Boba Fett (or another character), including weapon can be swallowed.

Four figures (all with simple printed heads) are also on board the skiffs Desert: the pilot of the skiffs Kithaba who caught Luke Skywalker, the (disguised) Lando Calrissian and finally the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Kithaba looks, thanks to his headscarf, the green face and underbite, like a mixture of a pirate, zombie and mastiff. His torso is printed on both sides, the pants maybe a bit too red. He is assisted by a laser gun is available. Blond boy Luke, armed with a green lightsaber, wears his black gray Jedi outfit. Lando hides his face (with mustache) behind a helmet. In his defense he has a kind of Hell Barde (assembled from a spear and an ax blade). Last but not least, there is still Boba Fett, probably the best figure in this set. Torso and pants are printed front detail. In addition, it carries an olive, tattered coat, a jetpack (which is why the lack of rear logo does not bother) and a slightly battered Mandalorian helmet. Armed with a laser gun he is (modified).

All in all a very nice set. Perhaps we could have imagined another Star Wars character as Kithaba for this set, but that's to get over. Really annoying is only the high face value.
