![]() ![]() IG-88 can currently be found in set 7522, Betrayal at Cloud City. IG-88 was included in both the Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike battle pack and the 2018 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. Fortunately, LEGO made an updated IG-88 minifigure available in two cheaper sets. This newer version came in the 2011 UCS Super Star Destroyer. It took 5 years for LEGO to release a printed version of IG-88. This early version of the minifigure came in a nice metallic colour but lacked any printed parts. LEGO first made the droid in 2006, including the character with Boba Fett’s Slave 1. Newer fans may confuse IG-88 for IG-11, the droid voiced by Taika Waititi in the Mandalorian. If you ever played the 1996 Shadows of the Empire video game you may remember the notoriously difficult boss battle between Dash Rendar and the droid. This lethal assassin droid has appeared in films, animated series and even video games. This custom part can be purchased from FireStar Toys. I have attached an image of the prop below for comparison. Han Solo can also be seen using this weapon when rescuing Princess Leia from the Death Star in A New Hope.įortunately, Brickarms produces a custom DLT-19 piece. ![]() In the Empire Strikes Back, Dengar carries a DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle. The same minifigure later appeared in the Bounty Hunter Speeder Battle Bike Pack (a set with an extraordinarily long name).Ĭurrently, Dengar isn’t available in any LEGO Star Wars set on the market but all three variants of Dengar can be purchased separately from FireStar Toys. His appearance on the show led to a Dengar minifigure being included in Naare’s Eclipse fighter. In the show, Dengar was employed by Graballa the Hutt to track down the Freemaker family. Employees at LEGO are clearly big fans of Dengar as the character would become a key character in LEGO Star Wars the Freemaker Adventures. An updated version of the minifigure would later appear in the UCS Super Star Destroyer that was released in 2011. LEGO first released a Dengar minifigure in the 2006 Slave 1 set. In the series he was voiced by the multi-talented Simon Pegg, an actor who would later go on to play Unkar Plutt in the Force Awakens. As well as appearing in movies, Dengar had a limited role in the Clone Wars. After first appearing in Empire Strikes Back, Dengar returned to the big screen three years later as a background character in Jabba’s palace. This Corellian bounty hunter quickly became a fan favourite. This article will go through each bounty hunter in turn, looking at what custom accessories are available to make them as accurate to the movie as possible. Now that LEGO has produced all six Bounty Hunters, many fans will look to improve their minifigures with custom jet packs, capes and blasters. Fortunately, the 20th anniversary Slave 1 set provided a Zuckuss minifigure for avid Star Wars fans to complete their collection of LEGO bounty hunters. Zuckuss remained absent from the LEGO Star Wars set line for 19 years. Yet, this legendary line of scum couldn’t be recreated in LEGO until fairly recently. Clad in black, Lord Vader addresses a line of bounty hunters on the bridge of his Star Destroyer. ![]()
