Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Seems like they put alot more articulation into this piece than was needed (especially with bending knees), but they'd probably get complaints if it turned out like Hasbro's.
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

If he's able to hold these poses then the articulation will be phenomenal.

Hasbro does Droids well. I've got IG-88 displayed alongside my Sideshow pieces and he fits in nicely. Not sure, he needs that much articulation but I'm anxious to see how he turns out.
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

come on, it's obvious WHY they loaded him down with articulation.

it's a test run in preparation for Grevious.
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

Awesome figure, will be adding it to my collection :yess: .

Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

They talk as if he is done. I would ____ all over myself for IG-88 to be announced soon. And not just because I want that character in a figure. I want ALL of the characters as figures. But I would be excited for the direction the line is taking and the fact that would be happening faster than I expected as well.

I thought he was going to be announced soon? I remember SSC mentioning that 2011 would be the year of the Bounty Hunters. Given that Yoda is 1st Qtr of '11, I could see IG-88 being their 2nd Qtr figure to start off the Bounty Hunters. Meaning he could be up for PO in the next couple of months.

I have been under the impression that Sideshow is still a way off from droids. So I was thinking other bounty hunters. Either way...I am all the way good with it!
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

I don't know how excited I'll be with an IG-88. I'm glad they are making him but I'm pretty sure I'll pass. It's just so hard to start a bounty hunters line if they don't even have the MASTER of all bounty hunters in Boba Fett and Jango Fett.

Yea, there was some Q&A session recently that mentioned the first Bounty Hunter would be the "one who would be good at working a bar" or some hint like that. It turns out that IG-88's head (or one very much like it) was scene in the Cantina bar as some type of beverage dispensor, so people are pretty positive that means IG-88 is up first. I guess SSC considers him to be more part of the Bounty Hunter series than the Droid series - makes sense.

Do you think maybe he'll go up during CV?

Could be possible, though CV is coming up soon and I would think SSC normally has more time between 1/6 scale releases.
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

I hope Boba Fett is out before IG-88!

Then you'll be disapppointed. The Medi Boba/Jango comes out late this year and I doubt SSC will step on Medi's toes by releasing a Boba before or shortly after the Medis.

I think it's already been mentioned in a Q&A that a SSC Boba/Jango is still a long ways out. Whereas, IG-88 almost seems ready for production and full reveal.

The video showed a mock up of a Mandolorian helmet... so guessing they are not too far behind.

IG-88 looks like he's going to be rivaling the HT Endoskeleton in terms of pusing the envelope on a non-standard body figure.

Really glad to see Sideshow is willing to take risks like this... IG-88 will be a definite purchase :rock
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

IG-88 looks amazing!!!


I doubt we see a SS Boba Fett within the next 2 years...which is why i bought the Medicom Fett.

Hope we see IG-88 at CV!!!! :panic::panic:
 
Re: 1/6th Scale IG-88 Figure

digging the IG-88! looks like SST is on track with him (it?).

Remember the "year of armour" they announced and then all we got was a Stormtrooper from the OT. It does look like a Fett is on the way, but prepare for disappointment.
