DescriptionKeep an eye on your arms and don\'t make any sudden moves around Obi-Wan Kenobi, because Mos Eisley’s most infamous cantina brawler has officially arrived! Straight out of Kenner\'s legendary 1979 second wave assortment, here is the original Walrus Man (known to modern fans as the Aqualish thug, Ponda Baba). This figure is an absolute staple of the original vintage 21-back collection, featuring his bright orange structural vest, vibrant blue jumpsuit, green hands, and those incredible black aquatic flipper boots.If you flip this rough-and-tumble alien onto his back to check his sector registration, you\'ll spot the crisp, raised stacked factory stamp on the back of his left boot reading © G.M.F.G.I. 1978 HONG KONG. A cool detail for variant completionists: this example features the iconic blue paint overspray highlights running right along the ridges of his flipper toes, which looks incredibly sharp when standing on display.Now, let\'s keep it as straightforward as a bounty hunter contract—high-res photos don\'t lie, so please make sure to use the zoom tool on all these excellent macro angles to see his exact physical traits! This figure is loose and missing his original grey imperial-style blaster accessory. He has definitely spent some time roughing it in alien dives and shows some clear signs of play wear. You will notice prominent paint rubs and fading on the cream-colored tusks of his snout, a few light paint chips on his green webbed hands, and general scuffing across his orange chest armor and blue limbs. There\'s also some typical vintage play-dust settled in the deep grooves of his ridge-backed head. On the bright side, his physical plastic structure is excellent, his arm and leg joints hold a pose easily, and his classic \"GMFGI\" country-of-origin text is perfectly preserved. He is a fantastic, authentic piece of pop-culture history ready to anchor your Cantina diorama layout today!
