Ig-88 biography

The Smile IG stands out thanks to the brilliant silvery sheen on the plastic Smile used to form the figure. Smile IG debuted in the 31 back era and was consistently released through nearly all of the Kenner cardback eras up to 77, then onto Trilogo. The initial version of the Smile figure features glossy reddish-orange lights, a long antenna and hollowed out eyes.

The lights were altered to a glossy mid orange in the 41 back era. There was also two attempts to stamp the copyright C into one of the rear torso cavities. This could be down to limited accessibility within the cavity. To remedy the wear, the tools were replaced with a new set which feature some small mould variations including a larger foot. Figures with mixed limbs from both mould do exist.
