"While it can be said that IG-88's debut performance in The Empire Strikes Back exhibits about as much personality as a flagpole in the rain, you gotta admit, the guy looks pretty menacing, even if he is essentially set dressing. Sure, he's tall, thin-limbed, and has a head that's repurposed bar apparatus from the Mos Eisley Cantina (set dressing's apparently in his DNA), but those two guns he's packing aren't pea-shooters. And that red-on-gunmetal gray deco hints at the sinister droid aesthetic from a bygone era -- think spider droids, probe droids, and buzz droids. IG-88's Empire performance was admittedly a bit, er, stiff, but thanks to The Clone Wars, we've gotten a taste of just what the formidable IG- class assassin droids are capable of (see "Downfall of a Droid"), and look forward to seeing more of them as the series unfolds.

But even before the assassin droid's recent re-emergence in the Star Wars galaxy, IG-88 did manage to inspire a modest handful of cool collectibles in the 30 years since Empire, some of which actually, um, move. Here is a sampling."
