Hasbro has just put a bounty out, and IG-88 is trying to collect with a brand-new Star Wars: The Black Series figure. A new era of The Black Series is upon us, and with it, Hasbro has unveiled a brand-new wave of 6-inch action figures. Each one of these figures captures an iconic character from the Skywalker Saga and will feature brand-new packaging. IG-88 is coming to life in honor of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
