Up close with new Star Wars Cantina Showdown playset
The set comes in '90s-style Power of the Force packaging includes Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba.
The Power of the Force packaging of the 6-inch Black Series Cantina Showdown playset is designed to stir feelings of nostalgia in '90s Star Wars collectors. The $105 set includes Dr. Evazan, Ponda Baba and Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with a bar.
Let's re-create the scene -- you'll have to imagine Luke Skywalker is just out of shot. "He doesn't like you."
"Sorry."
"I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on 12 systems."
"I'll be careful."
"You'll be dead!"
"This little one's not worth the effort."
"Come, let me get you something."
"Wu-ahhh!"
"No blasters! No blasters!"
*Snap-hiss*
Ponda Baba has his blaster and a stylish orange jacket.
He also comes with a pair of flipper-like hands, which seems like a subtle reference to a minor blooper in the scene -- his hands appear to be fishy in behind-the-scenes shots, but his hand seems more that of a very hairy human after it's cut off.
Dr. Evazan is clearly always looking for trouble.
It's up to old Obi-Wan to them a lesson.
The bar has a few display options, including this large version.
It can also be made more compact.
