IG-88 Star Wars Assassin Droid 1/6 Scale Figure
Originally announced by way of a slideshow shown at the Star Wars Collectors' Panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, 2010, Sideshow Collectibles' IG-88 Assassin Droid 1/6 scale figure wasn't addressed on their web site until they published a sneak peek video feature on September 21, 2010. The figure officially became the first of The Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters to join the Sideshow collection when it went up for pre-orcer on July 18, 2011. IG-88 began shipping in January 2012.

Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
