Hunting Solo.
Hunting Solo. (Vintage IG-88)
A bounty hunter like IG-88 is truly as bad as they come. Heart of cold steel and wires. Never tires, never sleeps. And he has tiny little crab claws for hands (the better to clench his two blasters before he puts you away for keeps). Face it: you just don’t want to mess with this guy.
But mess with him we did.
There’s a surprising amount of love for IG-88 out there. People loved playing with him when they were kids, and they love him now. A rail-thin robot with no dialogue has captured the hearts of millions and even stars in his own awesome music video. Go figure!
Did you dig IG-88 as a kid? What was your favorite Star Wars action figure you played with back then? (I know, I know – you still play with action figures. We’ll get to that later!)
Had IG88 Boba 2 pack. Nothing cooler than a robot assassin!
Bossk was my favorite. I carried him around in my pocket everywhere – him and Jedi Luke. Really, though, I just wanted to play with any of the no-line alien characters.
By the way, I love how you used a Vader Tie Fighter wing to evoke a cityscape in the background.
Bossk was pretty big for me too. Way bigger than IG, but maybe not as big as Boba Fett. Good eye spotting that DV Tie Fighter wing!
