This Ponda Baba (Walrusman) figure was released single carded as part of a Creature Cantina Adventure Set 4-pack in September 2025 exclusively through HasbroPulse.com
The figure's paint application pays homage to the original Kenner Walrusman figure from 1978
For this Ponda Baba release Hasbro repainted this Ponda Baba figure from 2011
Hasbro included one blaster and a set of fin-like hands with the figure, a cantina cup is not included this time around
Ponda Baba was seen with different hands in the Mos Eisley Cantina in the original Star Wars movie, in some scenes he's seen with fin-like hands when at the bar, in other scenes he's seen with regular hands
The hands can easily be exchanged, simply pull the hands off the arms and plug the new ones on
The figure's vest is not removable
The blaster fits well into Walrusman's hands and it can be stored in the holster
The head feels rather on the smaller side these days, a detail not as much noticeable back in the day when less reference material was available
This Ponda Baba figure is a nice tribute to the original 1978 figure
