Walrus Man, from "Star Wars - Vintage (Figures)" collection, includes the following accessories:
The Walrus Man figure was part of the second wave of figures (1978) in the Star Wars collection; over the following years, several reissues of the figure were produced, so it can be found with different packaging.
The first edition of this second wave is known as the "20-back," since the back of the box featured 20 figures: the 12 from the first wave and the 8 from the second. This edition included a promotion where, upon sending 4 proofs of purchase to KENNER, the toy company would mail a Boba Fett figure.
This figure was also included in the Cantina Playset.
Walrus Man, also known as Ponda Baba, is an Aqualish alien. He appears in "A New Hope" (Episode IV) at the Mos Eisley cantina. Along with his partner Dr. Evazan, he has a confrontation with Luke Skywalker that results in Obi-Wan Kenobi cutting off Ponda Baba’s arm. Although his screen time is brief, his distinctive appearance and his encounter with the protagonists add an element of danger at the beginning of the film. Walrus Man has become a recognizable character in the saga due to his design and his brief but memorable role.
