Accessory Details: 1 Blaster, 1 Removable Jacket (the sleeves are not part of the jacket)
MORE INFORMATION
This Ponda Boba figure was released single boxed in late December 2021
The figure is a straight re-pack of the HasbroPulse.com exclusive Ponda Baba figure but with less accessories (there were no fins included)
Ponda Baba came with a blaster and a removable jacket
Ponda Baba's jacket is removable, but the jacket's sleeves are sculpted and painted onto the arms so taking it off doesn't make sense
The color tones on the pants and jacket match Ponda Baba from A New Hope well
The head sculpt looks very nice on this figure
The blaster was painted well with silver details on it and a red grip
The wrists have rocker-joints in them but because the sleeves go a little over the hand it's not possible to bend the wrists much
The arm is not removable and you can't re-create the scene after Ponda Baba's arm was cut-off by Obi-Wan Kenobi
The blaster doesn't fit into the holster
Ponda Baba stands well on display without falling over
Even though the legs were sculpted with a stripe on the sides it was left unpainted (it should have been yellow on both sides)
This Ponda Baba figure has room left for improvement, the side stripes on the pants need to be painted, the holster needs to be functional and the arm which Obi-Wan cut off should be removable (come on Hasbro, you got this right in the 3 3/4" line more than 20+ years ago!)
PACKAGING TEXT
A burly Aqualish thug, Ponda Baba smuggled spice for Jabba the Hutt alongside his friend Dr. Cornelius Evazan, a murderous former surgeon Ponda had rescued from a bounty hunter.
