About This Figure
Walrus Man (Ponda Baba) from Kenner's Vintage Collection line (Modern Era).
Hasbro's deliberate throwback to the Kenner card back — 3.75-inch scale with super-articulation and vintage-style packaging that doubles as display art. Flips between fan-favourite demand spikes.
Walrus Man (officially Ponda Baba) is the cantina alien from A New Hope whose arm is severed by Obi-Wan's lightsaber in the Mos Eisley Cantina. The 1978 Kenner 'Walrus Man' figure — using the original unofficial nickname before Ponda Baba was established — is one of the vintage Star Wars cantina aliens that sparked lifelong collector fascination with the bar scene's background characters. Original walrus man in good condition is a vintage collecting priority.
