The elite droid protectors of General Grievous marched into The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of Wave 2. Representing the IG-100 MagnaGuard as seen during the opening battle of Revenge of the Sith, this figure was a significant engineering feat for the 3.75-inch line. It moved away from the spindly, fragile designs of earlier years to provide a robust, super-articulated combat droid that could actually hold the dynamic, aggressive poses required to challenge a Jedi Knight.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Droid Silhouette: The sculpt features a highly detailed skeletal frame, capturing the exposed wiring, hydraulic pistons, and reinforced plating characteristic of the InterGalactic Banking Clan’s elite security. The figure captures the cold, mechanical efficiency of the IG-100 series, with a height that towers slightly over standard human figures.
• Deco & Battle-Wear: The 2010 release is defined by its industrial, weathered palette. The paint application features a matte grey finish on the chassis, treated with a heavy dark wash to highlight the mechanical complexity of the sculpt. Subtle bronze and silver highlights on the joints and sensors simulate the wear and tear of a droid that has survived countless encounters with lightsabers.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized ball-jointed hips and "rocker" ankles are essential for this figure, allowing the MagnaGuard to achieve the wide, lunging combat stances seen during the duel aboard the Invisible Hand.
• Display Utility: This is the mandatory "bodyguard" for any Separatist Command or General Grievous diorama. He is best positioned in pairs flanking General Grievous (VC17) or engaged in combat with Obi-Wan Kenobi (VC103).

Accessories & Equipment

The MagnaGuard comes prepared to neutralize Jedi threats with its specialized arsenal. He includes his signature Electrostaff, featuring translucent purple "lightning" effects that can be attached to the ends to simulate the weapon in its active state. A standout feature of the 2010 release is the soft-goods cape, which features a tattered, weathered hem and internal wiring that allows it to be posed dynamically. Additionally, the figure includes a small blaster pistol and a removable head-wrap, allowing collectors to display the droid in its full ceremonial guard attire or its stripped-down combat configuration.
