Star Wars Jabba’s Palace Patch and Pin – these are small collectibles included in each box.

The box now comes with a card describing the items included.

Smuggler's Bounty

C3PO Hat (Retail $10?) – This is a new line. But wow, are they ugly. Please bring back the shirts. I don’t know anyone who would wear these.

Smuggler's Bounty

Jabba Mug (Retail $10?) – I’m not a fan of Funko mugs either. And this is no exception. I’ll be ditching this somewhere.

Smuggler's Bounty

Boba Fett Plush (Retail $10?) – This is yet another new line. While it’s cute, I would have prefered another POP.

Smuggler's Bounty

EXCLUSIVE R2-D2 Funko POP (Retail $10+) – This is a very cool, unique design. Love this version.

Summary: Unfortunately, the only item I really liked was the POP. What a disappointment. No tshirt and no comic. The ugly mugs and hats have got to go, or I’ll be dropping this box.
