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

[Invictus Sol]

Haha, you guys are killing me! That doggone blade (and you're right, TaliBane -- the Hasbro looked so natural that that is how I thought he appeared in the movie)! Best chance I've had in the last 3 years was grabbing all 3 bounty hunter exclusives for $150ish US but some glitch held up the sale and I missed out (plan was to sell the other two ex's on). Couple weeks ago a guy was selling his IG-88 exclusive loose, so asked if I could just buy the blade and he said he'd have gone for that, except he'd just sold the figure the day before and hadn't updated his list. At the same time I refuse to buy an exclusive and sell mine, though it'd probably be the most sensible thing to do.

A buddy of mine has an EX IG too and I'll see if he'll part with it next time I see him. He has a massive collection of other lines (military etc.) and I don't think he intentionally ordered the EX or cares that much but we'll see.

Damn, Getting rid of my EX IG-88 is one of my biggest regrets, does anybody have a lead for one?

 

[evenflow]

I have been looking for one as well. Found one at SDCC but the guy wouldn't work at the price at all and was just a jerk about it so i passed.

Is the blade actually in the movie? I don't recall. When did the whole blade thing become such a staple for IG-88....

 

[Jaycepticon]

From what u remember before he came out, I think it was Habsro's figure that included that. I could be totally wrong though and it being some EU thing. Whatever the case, I do really like the subtleness it gives the figure but not at ththe $200+ it's demanding in the secondary market.

but not at the $200+ it's demanding in the secondary market.

In other words the same price SS and HT is now charging for all the new SW figures.

No, it's a Hasbro thing but it really shows what a good addition it was when IG feels so incomplete without it.

Retail was $175.00, so if you get it at $200 (foe the regular, know the ex is going for more), that's not too bad.

You can still get the original for sub ~$200. EX is going for $450+. Not worth all that extra money for a silly blade.

IG-88 was the most terrifying boss in the Shadows of the Empire game.

 

[Tauntaun Han]

I really need to get mine opened up at some point. I received it when it first came out and packed it away unopened until I got a case.

He scared the "you know what" out of me. He would pop up out of nowhere...I'd literally jump. Good times.

The search continues, got outbid on the last second yesterday for an IG-88. I don't care if its the exclusive or regular but have not had luck with either.

I see him on sale every year at SDCC. These guys had one for sale, not sure how much it is:

Cards and Comics Central - Welcome!

They said they don't have a web presence and they are right, no listings online so they said to call if you are interested. I buy something from them every year at SDCC and they have tons of out of print SSC and HT figures (but some are super expensive.... they wanted $500 for the Emperor's throne for example).

Just keep trying....I've had this happen only to win an auction for less than the ones I lost.

We need more bounty hunters

 

[Aliaz]

Definately!

How tall is IG-88?

 

[dao2]

well you're getting zuckuss and 4-lom soon enough!

We need a full Cad Bane in his Bounty Hunter getup.

Absolutely! Cad Bane was the great character that came out of The Clone Wars series. & the one rendition SS does of him, is where he's injured & trying to escape? I skipped that purchase easily, but I'd be all over a loaded, fully done, Cad Bane.

My IG-88 I'm seeing at just a tick over 15in tall. & that Vibro-Ax is a great addition. I almost skipped it cause it wasn't in the movie. But, after putting it in his sling next to the E-11 blaster... it should'a been.
