Point taken. I guess you could see it either way.

Sebulba really does suck. They should have made him in a style similar
to the monkey from the old pirate sets. It would be great if they would
release a SW figure pack. They could put a sebulba type alien, a watto fig.,
a couple of gungans and a couple of battle droids. They really should make a
greedo type head, it would just fit over a regular minifig torso and legs. As
far as Jabba goes, he would probably be a one piece hunk of ABS like a rounded
BURP. I would be satisfied if they made him in a style similar to the
dragons. One main head and body piece with 2 movable arms and a movable tail
section. - Rich
