Gentle Giant Star Wars 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!


The Star Wars IG-88 Kenner Jumbo Figure is now available for pre-order through Gentle Giant

Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Bossk 1/6th Scale Figure

The Bounty Hunters are making their presence known! Sideshow Collectibles has released IG-88 and the most famous bounty hunter in the Star Wars galaxy Boba Fett is now shipping. Today, another bounty hunter joins them, with the release of Bossk. The Sideshow Collectibles Exclusive Star Wars Bossk 1/6th Scale figure is now available for pre-order.

Sideshow Collectibles is proud to announce the newest addition to the Star Wars Scum and Villainy Sixth Scale figure line, the ruthless Trandoshan Bounty Hunter, Bossk.
The Bossk Sixth Scale Figure features:
  • Highly Detailed and Hand Painted Head
  • Intricate Pressure Suit and Flak Vest with Gaskets and Fittings
  • Two (2) Sets of Interchangeable Hands
  • Two (2) Sets of Interchangeable Feet: Standard and Action Versions
  • Relby V-10 Micro Grenade Launcher
  • Prometheus 1.2 Body featuring Newly Sculpted Trandoshan Forearms and Lower Legs
  • Sideshow Exclusive: Additional 'Snarling' Bossk Head for Alternate Display

 The dreaded bounty hunter Bossk's reputation as a killer began at birth, when he clawed his way out of his own egg and, moments later, devoured each and every one of his unhatched siblings. This display of savage dominance impressed Bossk's father and earned him his name, which, in his native Trandoshan, translates to, 'devours his prey.'

As he matured, Bossk developed a reputation for slaughtering and skinning Wookiees a Trandoshan tradition that threw him head-to-head with Chewbacca and Han Solo on several occasions. Their continued run-ins developed into a long-standing rivalry, and when he was approached by Darth Vader to hunt down and capture the Millenium Falcon, Bossk eagerly accepted the opportunity. That particular bounty was denied to Bossk, however, when Han Solo and his friends were tracked by Boba Fett to Bespin's Cloud City after the Battle of Hoth.

Despite this significant loss, his tenure as a bounty hunter was mostly successful, spanning the time period from the Clone Wars and the Dark Times, all the way through the Rebellion and beyond. A true renegade, Bossk's lengthy career found him toe-to-toe with Jabba the Hutt, the Galactic Empire, the Old Republic, and the Jedi Order. Bossk eventually even killed and devoured his own father for leadership of the Bounty Hunter's Guild.




    Bossk looks amazing and we have been looking forward to all of the famous Bounty Hunters coming together.

Year of the Bounty Hunter

2012 has just begun and we already have three of the most famous bounty hunters coming soon from Sideshow Collectibles in their Star Wars 1/6 scale figure line. 

 The Empire Strikes Back would be the first moment we would see some of the most famous bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe and for a very short famous scene on Vader's Executor. 

IG-88 is the first to be released actually in the next week in Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars 1/6 scale  Scum and Villainy figure line. The IG-88 regular edition is actually still available, while the Sideshow Exclusive is on a waitlist. Do not miss the opportunity to order the first in the bounty hunter releases. The detail in IG-88 us truly amazing and he has been overdue to be released in a 12-inch line.
