This Ponda Baba action figure was released in
1997 in the Power Of The Force 2 Collection.
It was exclusively available at Walmart.
Hasbro gave the figure six joints and included
two accessories (vest, blaster).
Here is what we noticed when we took a closer look at the figure:
- This version of Ponda Baba was part of the "Cantina Showdown" Cinema Scene 3-pack
- The other two figures in this set were Dr. Evazan and Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Ponda Baba's blaster fits well into the right hand
- The plastic vest is removable
- The figure doesn't stand well without a stand
- Overall, the dynamic sculpt of the figure captures the moment when Ponda Baba attacked Obi-Wan quite nicely
- Just like with the other two figures in this set, there is no date stamp on it
The articulation details are as follows: swivel neck, 2 swivel arms, swivel waist, 2 swivel legs

On the run from Imperial Stormtroopers, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker enter the seedy Mos Eisley Cantina in hopes of finding swift passage to the planet Alderaan. Inside, among the gallery of criminals are the murderous Dr. Evazan and the brutal Ponda Baba -- both of whom are thirsty for a fight with Skywalker. Reaching for their blasters, the villains are suddenly cut off from Luke by the pulsating blaze of Obi-Wan's lightsaber! Will Obi-Wan triumph and save the Rebellion's only hope?
