HEM DAZON (CANTINA PATRON): SAGA COLLECTION 2006

As you've probably noticed the yellow price stickers on the cardbacks of many of these, I buy a lot of the older stuff from Movie Trading Company in Arlington.  The condition of the bubble/cardback varies but as long as it doesn't affect the figure itself, who cares.  Like many collectors, I keep mine too, for reference or whatever, and throw the plastic bubble in recycle.  The cardbacks are pretty easy to store a couple hundred or more in a carry tote without having any Hoarders nightmares over keeping the bubbles, too.  

Hem Dazon is the very first creature you see in A New Hope's famous Cantina scene.  No speaking lines, just some chipmunk sound as he tilts his head.  I'm assuming he was just a head puppet when the film came out and when he was introduced with an actual name, LucasFilm/Hasbro gave him a body to go with it.
