Description

Hired by Vader

IG-88's big moment is brief. After the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader gathers a line-up of bounty hunters on the bridge of his Star Destroyer, the Executor, and sets them after the Millennium Falcon with one condition: no disintegrations. Alongside Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckuss and 4-LOM stands IG-88, a tall, spindly droid with a cylindrical head. He says nothing and barely moves, yet those few seconds were enough to make him a fan favourite.

A droid without a master

Most droids in Star Wars serve someone, whether as translators, mechanics or messengers. IG-88 is different: an assassin droid working as a bounty hunter, loyal to whoever pays. That makes him one of the more unsettling machines in the saga, a reminder that droids in this galaxy are not always helpful companions. For collectors building a gallery of bounty hunters from the original trilogy, he is one of the essential faces from that famous scene aboard the Executor.

Eleven pieces, two elements, one colour

The numbers for this set are compact. There are 11 pieces from only two unique elements, plus one minifigure, and black is the only main colour listed. The build is over almost as soon as it starts, leaving the minifigure as the centrepiece. With so little variety, checking a used copy is simple, because any gap is obvious at a glance. If you sort by colour, everything from this set goes straight into the black drawer.

Completing the line-up

Recreating Vader's bounty hunter briefing takes figures from several different sets, and IG-88 is one piece of that puzzle, alongside the likes of Boba Fett and Bossk. The parts list on this page shows all 11 pieces and the minifigure so you can confirm a copy is complete.
