IG-88 Kenner Jumbo Figure
In order to track down the fleeing Han Solo and Princess Leia, Darth Vader has assembled a rogues gallery of Bounty Hunters and assorted scum… including the deadly assassin droid, IG-88!
Digitally scanned from mint 3 3/4” Kenner originals and reproduced to a substantial 1/6th scale, IG-88 towers above the competition. Nothing has been overlooked. Roto and injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure is fully articulated and includes a pair of faithfully reproduced blasters, just like the original.
That’s not all, this classic Kenner creation comes packaged on a 1980 Empire Strikes Back-inspired blister card, featuring original front and “45 back” artwork, in a re-sealable plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display!

1 comment postedWhile I get the idea behind this, it seems like this would have been better suited to be part of the new "Black Series" with better detailing and color specs. Despite the articulation features and blister card, I find the overall look to be bland and can't see how Kenner can justify an $80 price point for this when you will be able to buy four of the "BS" figures for the same amount of $$$.
I would rather see Miracle Productions or Masterpiece do a diecast version of this. Not that it would happen but it would be a cool piece.
