BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Straight from the small screen, and The Mandalorian’s 3rd season, come Grogu and his droid/vehicle, the former assassin droid called IG-12.
YES
The diminutive former Jedi padawan Grogu might be too young to operate machinery, but that’s not going to stop him from trying. And in season 3 of The Mandalorian that’s just what he did, thanks to IG-12.
A heavily-modified IG-11, who was destroyed in season 1 of the show, the rechristened IG-12 is basically a mech-suit for Grogu. It comes complete with a tiny cockpit for the character to sit in, as well as a vocal ability that helps the green guy communicate with his dad.
Shockingly, the figure from Hot Toys does the same. It’s maybe the only Star Wars figure that the company has ever produced that comes with voice, unless we’re somehow forgetting another (tell us in the comments if we are).
The upcoming release can say ‘yes’ and ‘no’, and is otherwise a screen accurate representation of the droid. It also comes complete with a bunch of accessories, though if extras are your bag, then you’re going to want to look at the Deluxe Version.
Here’s how the two break down:
IG-12 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure
After sacrificing himself to protect the Mandalorian™ and Grogu on Nevarro™, the IG-11™ assassin droid was reconstructed by Anzellan droidsmiths™ and converted into IG-12, a mech that can be controlled by Grogu.
The IG-12 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure features a highly detailed, articulated body thatis expertly painted and weathered for the ultimate in screen accuracy. The figure has LED light-up features and a sound function with IG-12’s “Yes” and “No” vocabulary. The cockpit houses a specially designed Grogu figure and has moveable control sticks. Accessories also include an adorable Anzellan droidsmith, food items, and more!
