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.

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.
