IG-88 Painted First Shot
The IG-88 action figure prototype seen here is referred to as a first shot. First shots are created in order to test the steel production molds.

IG-88 does exhibit paint details, however it lacks copyright and country of origin markings. The foot holes are also absent. An IG-88 painted hardcopy and unpainted, non-sonic welded first shot may also be viewed on the Archive.
