Sideshow Collectibles TIE Pilot - Rogue One Version

I really think this is one that HT won't do as the figure is amazing as is.

Not sure if I like the leathery looking flightsuit on this version. I think the cloth flightsuit on the original looks better personally.

I hope HT releases the pilot from the OT... I wasn't too into the new design.

HT doesn't let another company stop it from doing a figure. I think the reason they won't do this is because they'll leave Rogue One for the new trilogy and of course the classic films, the window itself is probably not there anymore.

I think we'll get the TIE Fighter Pilot from the OT and that's about it from HT. I don't see them doing a ton of variants of this one.

Can anyone tell me if the OT version is screen accurate with the plain material jumpsuit ? I'd like to get the OT version, but the Rogue One has more going on. I guess the first Sideshow variant must be pretty OT screen accurate.

it is accurate, yes. And the Rogue one is accurate for Rogue one too

Maybe it's just me but I can't see HT making too much improvements on this figure.

It's all via perspective, people said the same thing with Boba Fett and the Stormtrooper for example, even Vader. Then when HT made theirs it suddenly was like the figure was delivered from the heavens for them.

I noticed for this figure that the back of it is much more elaborate and detailed than the original TIE Fighter Pilot:





I wonder, is the original TIE Fighter Pilot suit flattened in the back like the costuming of the OT, or did it just get missed for that release?

Original ANH back plate had no detail. SSC reproduction is perfectly accurate in that instance.

Sideshow's OT and R1 Tie Pilots are accurate. The Original Trilogy Tie Pilots did not have the "OII" in the back that Stormtrooper armor have.

I never like the way Sideshow's boots and gloves turn out. They always tend to look over-sized and toyish.

The OT Pilot is accurate as it is, with blank back plate. The RO one has the OII on the back just like Stormtroopers.

I think it would look better if the lenses were dark red

Free shipping has me eyeing this guy. I may just throw some RP's at him but not sure yet.

I really like the look of this RO version... now that there is a photo from Celebration - the flightsuit looks more like a Gortex waterproof fabric than plastic coated, which is what was putting me off in the promo shots.
If it is a Gortex material I'll be so happy. Those nitrile or plether coatings wear off over time, but very unevenly.

I can only get one - this or the ANH version.
Right now I'm leaning towards this one.
I want to avoid panic-buying the original version due to low stock SSC warnings.

Thanks very much for the extra image. Great shot!

No problem! Found those pictures on Rebelscum. They take good pictures of displays at cons.

Damn my no more SS figures is getting tough
