| Here is an internet premiere of the custom-made full size IG 88 prop made by master modelmaker G. You may remember his work a while ago with the 12" scale Hammerhead doll and full size battle droid showcased at the Memorabilia show in the UK a couple of years ago. This thing is incredible it is most likely the most accurate and engineered version of IG 88 out there, it took two years to make and is fully posable, with lights, motion tracked head movement and digital soundtracks. These pictures really dont do this justice. On a personal note I have known the artist behind this for 23 years and I have to say is one of the most talented and inspired artists I have ever met...
