Put on the gold bikini top and secure the matching hip plates over the maroon fabric drapes.
4
Slide on the gold snake armband on the upper right arm and the matching cuffs on the wrists.

Fasten the chain collar around the neck, letting the plastic chain hang down loosely.

Tips

Bring extra AA batteries for the Jabba suit's inflation fan to ensure it stays fully inflated all night.
