Hasbro gave the shaft to all who purchased The Black Series [Phase IV] Ponda Baba (ANH02) figure. But the head sculpt is pretty nice, at least. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 13!

Welcome to another entry in our The Vintage Collection: The Ninety Six column. Hasbro recently committed to collectors that they will be “focusing” on characters in The Vintage Collection that fall under “The Ninety Six” banner. If you’re new to this, it means that there needs a modern counterpart for every classic Kenner figure. Between 2020 and 2021, Hasbro’s made an admirable effort by focusing on these characters. But there is more work to be done, and we’ll figure out where we are step by step. Today we assess Walrus Man.

Full Story

In Italy, Star Wars figures were released under the Harbert company label. The name of the line for the first Star Wars figures there was called Guerre Stellari. The card back didn’t vary all that much for the ones produced by Kenner, but there are obvious differences as you inspect and compare. Featured on 20-Back, the reverse side of the card features the same toy images in colored blocks made famous by Kenner, in addition to a few other related toys, including the Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing Fighter among others.

Today we revisit Walrus Man. The figure wasn’t made available in the Trilogo line, so we’re representing it on the Italian Guerre Stellari packaging for our update today instead. The review’s Collector Notes are updated with this information. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1979’s STAR WARS Walrus Man figure HERE.

It’s the ONLY Hasbro release where you can get a BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH! Once again, check out what less than $20 got you in 2004. The Mos Eisley Cantina (Scene 2) Scene Packs is another excellent release and features Zutton, the only time we ever received this character in the modern line.

Tonight’s Visual Guide update features the Star Wars [Saga – Phase I] Walmart exclusive Ponda Baba (Cantina Bar Section) (1 of 3). Click below for the full guide page. Make sure to also stop by and check out our full review of this figure.

Hasbro produced something that collectors begged for and then those same collectors didn’t buy them. As a result, the second wave was cancelled and the entire set is hard to complete today (some of wave 2 still got out). Let’s begin by checking out the Ponda Baba Cantina Bar Section Walmart exclusive. It was only $9.99 but apparently too expensive for the collecting community.
