1/6 Hot Toys - MMS648 - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Clone Pilot

[MyenShi]

Got a waitlist conversion but I may actually pass on it. I want it but can’t put it on flex pay. Not sure I want to drop $275 at the moment.

Only if you’re certain you’re not going to want it since they’re already going for $330-350. Might have to pay a lot more than $275 if you change your mind.

Unlike another base Trooper potentially several years down the road, the Pilot seems less likely to be re-released in this same form again.

Yeah, I’m torn. I want it but I have other figures and expenses. I’ll think it over.

Yeah it can be a tough call with a lot of figures coming out at once.

If you have anything else you can push out, I’d try to keep this since they made so few relatively.

Actually I had a coupon I was able to apply. I was weak and ordered. Got it for $250 instead. I guess if I decide I don’t want it later I’ll sell it off.

Good call!

I had an extra pilot and pitched it here for cost+ shipping

 

[Mike86]

Sideshow didn’t waste any time getting my Pilot shipped out. Ordered it Thursday, they shipped it yesterday, and I’m getting it on Tuesday.

I’m used to ordering something (even an in-stock item), having to wait a day or two for them to process it, and then have it shipped and arrive about a week later.

It’s also one of the first times they’ve used FedEx rather than UPS. It was the default option when I went to check out and was cheaper.

 

[DCFett]

I’ve had the pilot, Jesse, and Carnage ship in the last like 10 days. Wenwu on his way too. Their warehouse has been doin the damn thing lately.

 

[Smudger9]

Mine arrived May 4th! Great figure. I always loved the design in AOTC. All I need now is a Captain and and I’ll be set with my AOTC troopers.

A month later and I finally got to opening this guy and setting him up. A HUGE shoutout to @DCFett for selling me his extra pilot and working with me while I was out of the country! You're a great dude DC and I will never forget you helping me secure this clone in my collection--absolutely love this figure! Anyone in doubt about this one and loves clones needs to secure this guy asap. He's got a bit more wear than the shiny and paint apps are on point for both helmets and body. I used Hunter's rifle just to change it up a bit since the pilots might have some goodies in their arsenal hidden away in the cockpit.

Wow, they all look great together! Nice poses, makes me want to pick this guy up.

 

[SOU7567]

@potatoes212 awesome poses! Love the commando blaster with the Pilot, I've seen a lot of people throwing different guns and accessories on their pilots.

I feel like you could use 4-8 more clones though.

 

[Nyhargo Dirge]

It’s funny bc I think they have a commando vibe to them. When I get a minute, I want to put a pauldron on mine, kit him out a little (why aren’t back magnets standard on clones?) including maybe a Jetpack and see how he looks.

That looks cool as **** bro! Way to go!

 

[potatoes212]

@Chamberlian Thanks man- appreciate it- if you can find him for a decent price go for it!

@SOU7567 I said I wasn't gonna jump in on the bad batch and I did, and I am a sucker for clones now, I could always use more!

@DCFett Thanks brotha for covering me falling asleep at the wheel pre-ordering the Pilot--bailed me out big-time!

No worries bro. We have to stay ever vigilant as the Empire…errr…Sideshow is poised right now to limit our opportunities on this stuff!

 

[Mike86]

Have to say the Clone Pilot is awesome! Just got mine this morning and I’m fairly surprised at how cool it is in person.

I wasn’t overly excited about him but I really like it. The Helmet and chest box look great.

(Also this shelf is now packed to the max )

 

[SOU7567]

@Mike86 Not only do you need a bigger shelf, I think you need at least 8 more clones

 

[DCFett]

Just gonna leave this here for that shelf:

Vaugh is on my “to buy” list. I plan to get him eventually but would rather not lay $250.

I do for sure need more room. Apartment living means only so much space. To be honest though I kind of like that set up. It’s crowded, but they all look kinda cool together. Just wish I had the Shiny.

Truthfully as much as some people like to army build a bunch of each Trooper I’m okay with having a mixed squad.
