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.

 

[Felinx]

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!

could not find a pic of this

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:

Warning: Video includes Justin's voice. (Plus an advert for his stupid figure first aid kit!)

 

[Felinx]

Wow, this Justin commentary was dumb even for Justin. He thinks its in fact supposed to be a female pilot because of the wonky skinny arms? And is advocating for female variants of troopers going forward? And thinks the jumpsuit looks slightly blue? And that all the OT TIE pilots had standard stormtrooper back panels? And is unclear how you're supposed to display this fig because there's no 1/6 TIE fighter?

At this point he is a parody of himself.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Head looks like a hunk of coal without highlights or marking.

I've been waiting for this HT figure for a decade, and this is a disappointment... especially when compared to other things they are making an effort at.

NO PO for me... I'll see if they make any improvements on release, and then maybe pick this up cheap a year or so after release on ebay like I have with so many HT figures of late. Got Lando for $100.

Thank you for suffering through the listen to share those views...now I don't have to bother...not that I was gonna...
