Prop eFX TIE Fighter

[Darth Waller]

Not to worry, the info will come soon. Remember they are shipping the McQuarrie Vader now, and also just announced the Precision Cast Sandtrooper helmet, so they are quite busy at the moment. But I'm sure they won't let us down

Yeah, but I didn't order one, so I'm going to be pissed if it's something really good.

The really good item is the TIE Fighter itself, one of the most iconic ships in the sci-fi movies ever. Anything else is just a simple add-on to it

True, but that's a lot of coin for one collectible. I try not to go that high very often.

Agreed. Me neither, but there are a few items that I cannot pass on. You maybe know about my OT Imperials focus, so this helps in not buying many other things, and thus saving for other things that I really like and want in my collection. And my health problems and medical bills combined with the economic crisis don't help either, but I would not forget myself if missing this...

 

[Darth Waller]

I wouldn't mind a focus. So far it's OT 1:1 busts, so that's not much of a focus.

Nice, the Tie pilot has returned in the eFX Tie

 

[Masterbarkeep]

By the force if only I was rich I'd buy 3 of them !!!
Ugh.... I have being poor.
JERMS !!!

 

[Darth Waller]

Not surprised by the pilot, but at least it will be consistent with the X-Wing.

Indeed. But the X-Wing and TIE Fighter are not the same size anyway. They are both Studio Scale, but they are not really in scale with each other.

 

[Darth Waller]

I knew the sizes were different because they were true to the original scales. I just meant that the ship coming with a pilot was consistent.

It is. Still we didn't get an answer from eFX regarding if the original movie used TIE Fighters did have a pilot inside...

I'm happy with the bonus Pilot. Getting the TIE Fighter regardless.

 

[silentman116]

Nice edition size and the bonus pilot is a cool little extra. I have Luke displayed in my X-Wing, so I'm sure I'll use the TIE pilot as well. Now we just need a shipping date... (and a pre-order for the ANH Vader helmet! )

BTW a really interesting read regarding the original color of the TIE Fighters on RPF:

TIE fighter's original color - Not what you think.....

Interesting read...thanks for the link. I wonder if that's why so many of the republic ships during the Clone Wars have maroon as an accent color..wonder if that's where they got the idea from.

had no idea the scales were different. What is the scale difference?

 

[Darklord Dave]

I don't think the scale is that far off. I may be misremembering, but isn't there a famous photo showing both the Tie and X-wing together in front of a blue screen being shot simultaneously? If they were both in the same composite - wouldn't they need to be the same scale?
