• 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!)

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.
