Hot Toys - MMS 798 - A New Hope: TIE Fighter Pilot 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure

[Jive Turkey]

folks here are trying to convince everyone else that it is

I legit think it looks terrible and couldn't care less what other people think. Your opinion should be independent of what other people think. Why would anyone care how someone else thinks one way or another? This reads like you doing the same thing, but in reverse.
Just state your opinion without injecting imagined ulterior motives of other people

This release made me fall back in love with the SSC R1 version...View attachment 761457

one of few rare gems from SSC I must say.

$422aud for a simple trooper. I think I'm priced out of this hobby. That's nuts.

A lot of people have been priced out. Sadly. I had to cut down on spending as well,and not willing to buy overpriced figures

I would like to know how many variants of the helmet there are in the movies

I think there are three ... @jkno or @Felinx would know. I used to have files on this stuff but they're long gone.

Yeah beyond the basic black there's three variants as far as I know - grey mohawk, grey jawline tubes (with "pizza slice" imperial emblem) and grey face stripes (with central mohawk narrow strip also grey.)

The pre-Aurebesh "symbols/letters" on the mohawks are different for each.

Do you guys not even know the TIE pilot's names...? Gosh!

Mohawk, Pizza Slice and Stars n' Stripes would make them easier to remember.

Post-1990 LFL always comes up with these "Gavren Dovorio" sounding names for pilots of all types that always seem interchangeable/forgettable to me.

This guy (Pizza Slice)... He also has painted teardrops in addition to the jawlines. They all have the painted teeth and chin grill.

This image might explain a bit what TIE Pilot helmet variants are out there, it is not a perfect image, but you get the idea:

it's better with painted teeth
