The name Hammerhead is tantamount to the simpler days in which the figure was produced. Back then Star Wars fans weren’t inundated with the volumes of Expanded Universe character studies that today’s collectors have to deal with. Our guy here in the blue bodysuit was just a dude hanging out with his pals in a bar --even though it was still the middle of the morning if you follow A New Hope's timeline-- and not being an undercover Rebel on a mission who just happened to have a thing for plants. Thinking about it, if he were indeed that EU guy, he would have gotten to Tatooine in a Rebel ship of some sort, and the Rebels must have known he was on the same planet as Obi-Wan and the Death Star plans... (I digress, but I think the point is made nonetheless)... If for no other reason, today’s addition to the classic Kenner photo archive gets props for having a cooler (and easier to pronounce) name than Momaw Nadon…
