10221: Admiral Firmus Piett & IG-88 in pictures

Still taken from the poster I told you about in this news, here are two images showing a close-up of two of the next minifigs in the set 10221 UCS Super Star Destroyer (Executor).

Contrary to what we thought we saw, it will therefore not be Admiral Kendal Ozzel, but theAdmiral Firmus Piett, Commander of the Executor, who replaces Ozzel who died following minor troubles with Vader.
Piett will command the Imperial fleet in particular during the Battle of Endor before crashing on the Executor deck with his A-Wing Interceptor.
The minifigure is classic, well screen printed and the face looks very expressive.

Nothing really stunning, but we'll be content and it will swell the ranks of the imperial staff with the minifigs Imperial officer (sw046) from set 7201 Final Duel II , Imperial officer (sw114) from set 7264 Imperial Inspection, Imperial officer (sw154) from set 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer, Big Moff Tarkin (sw157) from set 6211 ISD or 10188 Death Star, L 'Imperial officer (sw261) from set 8084 Snowtrooper Battle Pack, General Veers (sw289) from set 8129 AT-AT Walker, or theImperial officer (sw293) from set 10212 Imperial Shuttle.

 

The other minifig that we discover in close-up is that of theGI-88, an assassin droid, a member of the Bounty Hunters team recruited by Vader to hunt down Han Solo.

This minifig, which will advantageously replace the model sw151 already seen in the set 6209 Slav I, has a screen-printed head of the most beautiful effect, adding to the realism and fidelity of the reproduction. great effort on the part of LEGO.

We have already had a slew of assassin droids, especially with the versions sw215 (White) from set 10188 Death Star, sw222 (Black) seen in sets 7930, 8015 and 8128, or the version sw229 (Silver) from the 8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack set.
