MORE INFORMATION

  • This 6" IG-88 action figure was released in January 2019 single carded in the Black Series Archive series
  • IG-88 is a re-paint and re-work of the 2015 Black Series IG-88 figure
  • 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-88 IG-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
