Sideshow Collectibles TIE Pilot - Rogue One Version

[Mike86]

I still prefer the flightsuit of the first release personally. It’s weird to me that Hot Toys hasn’t done a version of a Tie Pilot (not the First Order version). Not that I necessarily think they’ll do it better but they’ve done a lot of the Troopers and the Tie Pilots are pretty basic.

I think a HT version would be way better. The SS versions looks like the eyes are just painted where HT would probably use separated plastic.

I’m assuming Hot Toys will get around to pilots eventually, but it’s so unpredictable and likely far-off, I was happy to get the SSC Luke and TIE versions.

And while Hot Toys will undoubtedly have better underlying bodies and better paint apps on a Luke sculpt, likeness and helmet accuracy are not a given.

Still excited for their eventual versions.

Only spare body I had lying around was a Banner. The padding around the midriff, what looks to be slightly shorter legs and better hip articulation all help the figure, but because it’s a muscle body the arms still don’t lay flat against the sides of the body, which is irritating as hell for a natural stance.

May wind up getting some kind of slim for it since I don’t want to chew up the Banner body.

But they aren’t painted on. They are in fact separate transparent pieces.
Here is a picture of the helmet with light shining through.

I just got this one. A very nice figure.

I put mine on a padded out generic HT body, with Imperial Gunner boots and Darth Maul gloves. Much happier with it now.

Yes, that looks very good!

I totally forgot about this release and that it was a Sideshow Rogue One figure. This was the only new movie related figure they've made in quite a while right?

Really nice work, misterscruff

Nice shots guys... ZE_501 & Misterscruff, they look great!
I'll eventually get around to do some body swaps on these guys.

Huh, I never realized before that they made a RO version of this figure.

I literally just found out today when I saw this thread, and now I want one.

Nice pic above all. Nicely done. Need to put my standard sideshow one on a similar body

Is it safe to say that the shots of the Tie Pilot in Mando was also from Rogue one? Since every shot had the same helmet markings. And it was cool in the episode of mando, actually seeing some damage to the cockpit area

Good luck with that. Impossible to find (and not spending a fortune).

I need that astromech at least, i have only those two from OT.

Was the armor on the sides glued down? Or is it pegged in place, like the old Clone Trooper figures are?

I just got one on ebay and I'd like to swap bodies as well.

I don't remember exactly if it was pegged, but definitely not glued. It was a trivial process that didn't involve much hassle.

Awesome, I'm very much looking forward to it then!

I was sweating bullets when I had to undo the rubber panels underneath the R1 HT Stormtrooper armor, so I was afraid this guy would be the same
