Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Is this him?

Just saw the tease and rushed here to tell... but I'm late as usual.

IG-88! For some reason, I'm very excited.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

I'm guessing you guys are probably right, and it's definitely a Storm Trooper blaster like IG carries, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the rusty part in the lower right corner of the pic is. I can't see it on IG-88.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Hahaha...crap...now that you show the side by side..or vertical photos....I can seem to place it either..unless they just went rogue and botched the arms and shoulder

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Looks good!

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

I hope he is along the price point of the battle droids too..I dont see why not. I know he is very articulate but I am sure they are also. If he is along those lines..with the same pricing...I would be happy to see him under $100 but I know I am looking at $120 or more....damnit

I'm betting on $159.99 or higher.

The Battle Droids were so low because of the massive re-use possibilites. I'll bet $100 Sideshow told the factory to make 30,000 Battle Droids, so they got a rock bottom price. You can count on a repainted Battle Droid for next years SDCC exclusive and a retailer exclusive, just like they did with the Stormtrooper figure. All the molds for those parts are crazy expensive, but with those molds they made 3 different Stormtroopers, and what?? about 4 different Sandtroopers. So, they were able to bring the per unit cost down.

You can't do that with IG-88, he's a one and done figure. Unless people are going to army build Assassin Droids but that seems unlikely.

Prepare for sticker shock when the Snowtrooper and Biker Scout are announced.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Yea..i was being hopeful...positive thinking trying to promote positive outcome...crap..i love the bounty hunters..and i want them all...and i love the biker scout and snowtrooper.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Really would like him but as with the battle droid just not sure I can justify the costs

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Really want me an IG-88, but will all depend on the price point for me. I'll probably still PO the EX regardless, but if it's over $120 it's going to be tough to swallow in the end.

Great to finally see him being revealed though after all the time since it was announced he's coming.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Doesn't IG-88's gun get attached to his back somehow? I wonder if that small nob thing is part of his gun sticking out from behind his shoulder.

Even if it does..the other part doesnt look like his shoulder

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

It does look like you found that part, and you can see the same thing in the freeze frame of the video above.

Maybe in the teaser pic, he's facing to his left and aiming the gun to his right with the articulation point being at the elbow instead of the top of the arm.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Very cool... and good timing as my custom IG-88 is ending tonight on eBay. Already got some bids on him, my guess is next week I'd be SOL

 

[Batty]

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Any ideas on what an exclusive might be?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Probably those knife/blade things that the VOTC Hasbro fig came with.

Good call -- I like that. Droid with a knife!

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

It's the one problem I've had with SSC doing IG - the Hasbro one you did the repaint on really is pretty great sculpt-wise.

The SSC one will obviously be better but it's going to be a case of 8.5/10 versus 10/10. And $30 versus $150.

Figs like 12" Walrusman are "okay" (maybe 7/10) Hasbro figures that need an uprgrade, but IG and Zuck weren't in that category to me.

Yeah, I think after seeing the increased poseability I would rather upgrade. But I'm coming out a head on the custom one so I'm looking that as a discount on the Sideshow one

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Well... my IG-88 sold for $127 Here's to hoping 1) the buyer actually pays for it and 2) Sideshow's figure is under $124.99

Don't count on it. I'm guessing we're looking at about $180.

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

I can handle that. He's going to be really tall and hopefully he'll be as articulated as he is detailed. Can't wait to see the rifle.
