Order today!
This 1:1 Walrus Man™ prop replica bust from the cantina sequence of Star Wars: A New Hope™ is part of our Archive Collection, developed with extensive research and hands-on examination of the original prop artifact from the film.
This massive bust of Walrus Man (also known as Ponda Baba) stands nearly 24″ tall with included stand and torso section. It’s true to scale to the original prop mask that was used in the film, which we 3D laser-scanned at the prop archives for the ultimate in authenticity.
Each Walrus Man head is carefully crafted in our New York studio with layers of hand paint and hand-applied hair. Detailed to the extreme, the head even features translucent tusks with details within that are modeled right from the original mask.
This distinctive, signature edition includes a plaque signed by legendary, Academy Award-winning sound designer, Ben Burtt, who developed the vocalizations for the character using recordings he made of actual walrus!
This incredibly unique bust includes a black display stand that allows collectors to display in two ways: either was a bust with the included chest section or the head can be displayed independently, for fans who prefer the more prop-collection look of the head/mask alone. This replica’s components are cast in both hollow and solid resin, are non-wearable and for display only.
Ships in a brown corrugated box with die-cut EPS foam insert. Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity to bring home a piece of the archives!

The Archive Collection - Recreating an Artifact
“As a cantina fanatic, seeing the original Walrus Man (Ponda Baba) mask in the archives was something I never thought I’d get to do! The first time I visited the archives, the mask was on tour. It would be a few years until I could examine it first-hand. When the time finally came, seeing the mask in person revealed details that went unnoticed for decades.
To be face-to-face with the original masks and costumes from the 1977 film is always a moving experience. We spent an extraordinary amount of time with the original artifact to make our recreation as faithful as we could to the look and details of the original mask!” – Tom Spina (Regal Robot founder)
Research on this prop replica bust began many years ago, beginning with first-hand examination of the original mask from the film. Future visits included high-resolution laser-scanning of the mask to capture every detail of the original sculpture. We were honored that Ben Burtt wanted to be a part of this edition, signing plaques as the designer of the iconic vocalizations of this classic character!
