IG-88's Rifle, peg piece to stick into arm BROKE OFF

Yes so of course my IG-88's BlasTech DLT-20A Blaster Rifle peg broke off so now I can't stick it into his arm to hold it in place.

(is it just me or could they have done A LOT better at having him hold these weapons?)

Anyone know where I can buy another? I tried online can't find it.

Tried gluing it, but doesn't want to stick.

Sigh

Thanks

Drill a hole in and place a metal pint or wire the same size and glue it in

one pic.

Great picture... and threads merged.

You presume correctly.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, still happy with mine. Only pose I'm likely to have IG in is the standard Empire one, with him standing with the rifle. I like the articulation but he always looks a little awkward to me in any kind of 'attack/battle' pose.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Congrats, Kuat! IG-88 always captured my imagination, as a kid, and is what sucked my into this expensive line! He is delicate but very cool on display, IMO. One of my favourites, still.

Great display Kuat.....looks like he just fit even though you didn't try the stand as you said and also extend his legs either. It's a nice pickup as I highly doubt HT will do any bounty hunters except for Fett.

I have SS Boba Fett and was on the fence with IG-88 and Bossk for the longest time. In the end I decided my collection would not concentrate on secondary/background characters so IG-88 and Bossk did not happen. I am OK with it. Maybe just maybe if SS had plans for Dengar right after Bossk I might have considered.

I have the SS Bossk and IG-88. I don't really care for the design of the other bounty hunters so I'm good to go. Maybe I'm in the majority and that's why SS didn't make any of the others.

I love all six BH in Empire. I think SS could do a phenomenal job on Dengar and Zuccus. With 3PO almost out there is still hope for a 4-LOM even though I have the Medi.

Sideshow has about as much intent to completing the Bounty Hunters as they did the Fellowship.

 

[TonTon]

Does this figure hold up well? Been thinking of picking up one to check out in hand--hesitant about getting into any bounty hunters beyond Fett, but in some pictures IG-88 looks downright awesome. Seem to prefer the look with the legs extended as sometimes the upper body looks too bulky in photos.
I take it the height is restrictive too in terms of display options.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Legs extended is the only way to go, IMO (proportions just don't look good, otherwise). IG-88 is still one of my favourites and definitely holds up well. He's a bit delicate, but other than that, an awesome representation of the character.

 

[TonTon]

^^thanks, that's what I wanted to here. Agree about the proportions. I've got the probe and R2 so I can imagine the light and delicateness. Don't see HT getting to this guy.

 

[jedijim3002]

Hasbro one is decent but not nearly as detailed. Sideshow is one is more delicate but how much banging around will you do. Most people put it in one position and leave it. Love my exclusive. Won't ever need another one.

Got him and Bossk and glad I did. I collect a lot of different 1/6 figures and these 2 just stand out from the rest. Very unique characters, I probably would have gotten them even if I wasn't a Star Wars fan. Luckily, along with Boba these are the only OT bounty hunters I'm interested in so I'm all set as far as that goes.

Yeah, while it's not screen accurate, the legs extended do look best. The Hasbro one is pretty awesome but it just doesn't have the depth of sculpt the SSC one has (for example, the cylinders on chest.) It is a bit like a model though - quite delicate. The light-up head is very cool and the amount of articulation SSC built in is mind blowing. And I do love that EX blade.

You guys are killing Invictus with all the exclusive blade talk.

Well, it's total EU but I tried displaying IG without the blade and it looked incomplete - weird. It's a bit like SSC Hammerhead - without the staff he's just missing something.

I've had the really well done 3 3/4" figure for so long that I just thought the blade was from the movie.
