This figure has a different right hand than the previous 2015 release
The paint application looks different compared to the 2015 release with brass highlights on the front and back
Use the comparison tool to look at both figures side-by-side: IG-88 comparison
Here is a high-res image of both figures standing side by side: Black Series IG-88IG-88 came with 4 accessories, a vibro blade, a blaster, a blaster rifle and a removable bandolier with attached holster in the back
The vibro blade can be stuck into two little holes which are on the back of the bandolier, and the holster can house the Imperial blaster perfectly
The bandolier can be plugged into a hole on top of IG-88's right shoulder which allows it to stay in place (this works very well)
Hasbro put small holes into the back of each blaster which can be plugged into the pegs on both arms (again, this works very well, have a look: IG-88's blaster I and IG-88's blaster II
IG-88 is sculpted beautifully with lots of wires and details on the front and the back and even the vibro blade has scratch marks and dents in it
IG-88's red eyes are present but they seem to be too far on the inside of the head when compared to the movie counterpart
The joints are extremely well hidden on this figure and don't distract from the appearance
IG-88 stands almost 7" tall (17.78 cm), which is taller than a regular Black Series figure, but it's still not tall enough
The droid feels too skinny when compared to the movie scenes from The Empire Strikes Back
We found it to be quite difficult to pose and balance the figure out without falling over after a few minutes
Despite some shortcomings it's evident that Hasbro put a lot of effort into this Black Series IG-88 figure and the end result is a very detailed, good looking and well executed action figure
