Tauntaun Bust. Completed.
Tauntauns were bipedal beasts from the ice-world of Hoth, first featured in Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back. In Return of the Jedi, Jabba the Hutt has a stuffed tauntaun head on his wall. My version is a 3 3/4” action figure-scale tauntaun bust meant to be displayed with Jabba’s Palace.
