1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure LINK IN 1ST POST!

[Matt S]

Yeah, its a cool enough looking stand... but has nothing to do with IG-88. I too would have preferred a standard stand if it would have kept the cost down; but as it is I'm sure I'll put him on a spare stand and use this one for something else.

The stand would look great with Vader, but he's already pretty tall....lol

 

[devilof76]

Yup. Probably from a production standpoint as well.

 

[Matt S]

Mine is coming tomorrow - very curious to finally play with him, er, I mean, put him in my display!

You have to remember this was 100% created from scratch with little to no possibility of reuse (unlike battle droids...)

Not many Sideshow figures you can say that about - and this figure is extremely complex from a sculpt and joints engineering perspective.

True, but I can almost guarantee we will see at least one, if not more, Clone Wars inspired variants. They did it with the Gamorrean Guard and its only a matter of time (IMO) before we get a Jedi Hammerhead.

BTW; today is my IG-88 day!!!

Looking foward to some new pics and thoughts.

 

[galactiboy]

Pics yes, but thoughts no

Mine's waiting for an 'international shipment release' at stanstead hmm. I wonder if that means he's killing them

[Wor-Gar]

Really terrific shots, watermelon. Great detail, crisp as hell.

So can you rotate your shoulders without assistance from a tool?

If the UPS dude doesnt show up soon, I may go crazy with anticipation? Why does UPS always show up at late hours of the day?!?!?!?

 

[canadaclone]

I have never been so happy to get a 1/6 figure....

or so afraid to touch it...

I am not sure how to hold this figure to pose him....

and I keep finding new joints / articulation spots...

Question: How is his Knife / holder supposed to attach to the strap?

 

[Matt S]

Broke down and ordered Battle Droids off Ebay for $109 based on how well done Ig-88 is...was hoping my EX waitlist would convert but saved $10 without the '1138'

Not a big exclusive, but would have been cool

 

[Wor-Gar]

Question: How is his Knife / holder supposed to attach to the strap?

Slides into the two loops on the holster, holster is magnetic to strap.



Congrats guys! Let's hear about your shoulder joints. Is everyone afraid to try them?

 

[Matt S]

Oh yeah, those shoulders are well documented here...lol

 

[Wanderer]

He looks pretty stumpy without his extenders out. Defo prefer him with a bit of height

 

[THX-182]

I got mine today. Looks great. Kinda bummed that he can't really hold the guns without both hands. He can't even hold his vibroblade with his hands.

Other than that he's a super awesome figure. I really like him.

 

[Wor-Gar]

How those shoulder's turning? j/k

FYI, there's a little peg on the right hand to fit into the blaster to hold it in place, and a hole on the left forearm to hold the peg on the bottom of the rifle butt.
