Sideshow officially pulls back the curtain on their latest masterpiece: the Tessek Sixth Scale Figure. For fans of the original trilogy, this release adds to the “Scum & Villainy” collection, bringing one of the most recognizable patrons of Jabba’s Palace into the spotlight with incredible detail.
You can currently pre-order Tessek from Sideshow for $280. He has a release date between October 2026 and January 2027.
A Deep Dive into the Quarren Accountant
Tessek, a member of the aquatic Quarren species hailing from the planet Mon Cala, is perhaps best known for his appearances in Return of the Jedi. Often seen lurking in the shadows of Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge or betting heavy at the sabaac tables in Mos Espa, Tessek has long been a favorite for fans who appreciate the diverse creature designs of the Star Wars universe.
This high-end collectible figure captures the essence of the character with striking accuracy. From his signature facial tentacles to his suction-cup fingers, the sculpt reflects the unique biology of the Mon Cala native. One of the most captivating features of the figure is the mesmerizing turquoise eyes, which stand out against the desert-worn aesthetic of the Tatooine landscape.
Tailored Precision and Articulation
Sideshow is known for its commitment to screen-accurate costuming, and the Tessek Sixth Scale Figure is no exception. The figure comes dressed in meticulously tailored fabric clothing that replicates his on-screen ensemble. The outfit includes a flowing white robe paired with a dark gray cloak, providing the layered look essential for a high-ranking underworld figure.
To complete the aesthetic, the figure features intricate bronze sculpted belt work and detailed wrist gauntlets. Because the figure is fully articulated and highly poseable, you can recreate iconic scenes from the films or imagine new high-stakes sabaac games on their display shelves.
Accessories and Display Options
A high-end figure is only as good as its accessories, and Tessek comes prepared for the dangers of the Outer Rim. The set includes multiple hand options, including two relaxed hands and a specific gripping hand designed to hold his included holdout blaster. Whether he is bluffing his way through a card game or defending his credits from a rival bounty hunter, the posing possibilities are extensive.
Expanding the Scum & Villainy Line
The Tessek Sixth Scale Figure joins a prestigious lineup in Sideshow’s Scum & Villainy series. This line specifically targets the “underworld denizens” that make the Star Wars galaxy feel lived-in and dangerous. For fans looking to build a comprehensive Jabba’s Palace diorama, Tessek is a vital component.
As a limited-edition release, this figure is expected to be a hot commodity for Star Wars fans. Sideshow continues to prove that there is still plenty of room to explore the classic characters of the original trilogy, giving even the most obscure background characters the “high-end” treatment they deserve.
Keep your senses sharp and stay tuned to Outer Rim News for more updates on upcoming Star Wars collectibles. Whether you are a veteran collector or just starting your journey into the sixth-scale world, Tessek is a must-have addition to any home barge.
