Affiliate Link – Star Wars Walrus Man Ponda Baba Jumbo Vintage Kenner Figure
I’ve already got their Walrus Man statue on pre-order (mentioned here), but now Gentle Giant (website, Twitter) has announced this Star Wars Walrus Man Ponda Baba Jumbo Vintage Kenner Figure* . . . that won’t be available until September, 2012.
I’m about to start decorating my new office at work; maybe I should plan a display of cantina creatures and stock it with statues, busts, and action figures of the classic characters. I’ve certainly picked up enough cool cantina creature pieces to put together a nice display.
Just like they were when you were a kid, only bigger! Gentle Giant continues on with their line of vintage Star Wars action figure reproductions with the release of Ponda Baba, known to buyers of the original toy as Walrus Man! Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4-inch tall Kenner originals and reproduced in scale to the rest of the jumbo Kenner line. Nothing has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics, this fully-articulated jumbo figure includes a faithfully reproduced blaster. That’s not all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1977 Star Wars-inspired blister card, featuring original front and “20 back” artwork, in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display!
