This month’s Wattographs offers the team behind Jabba the Hutt in ROTJ and Wayne Pygram, Tarkin from ROTS:

Wattographs is pleased close 2009 with the debut of the next in our Connoisseur Series, Jabba the Hutt! This exciting piece features the creative team behind the vile gangster and will be signed by Mike Edmonds (Jabba’s tail), Dave Barclay (Chief Jabba puppeteer), Toby Philpott (Jabba’s Head & Arm), Howie Hammerman (Jabba’s burps!), as well as John Coppinger (Jabba sculptor) Mike Quinn, Bob Keen, Jez-Gibson Harris, and Richard Padbury. Sizes are available in 11×14 and 16×20. We are also taking fans’ personal items for individual autographs also.

Wayne Pygram portrayed the sinister Governor Tarkin in the closing scenes of “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” While his role was intended for dialogue, it was shortened to joining Vader & the Emperor to gaze at his destructive creation. Pygram is no stranger to movies or television having appeared in abc’s LOST & as Scorpious on ‘Farscape.’ Mr. Pygram will be signing official photographs and fans’ personal items!

Orders for the Jabba the Hutt CS willl be taken through December 1st. Signing for Wayne Pygram ends on November 3th. Personal items need to be in Scott’s possession by those dates. Please see site for full details!
