• This Tie Fighter Pilot was released in an Amazon exclusive 7-pack in the Fall of 2013
• The other six figures in the set included a Battle Droid - FA-4 - TC-70 - a Sandtrooper - Sun Fac and a 212th Attack Battalion Clone Trooper
• This Tie Fighter Pilot is based on the Walmart exclusive Tie Fighter Pilot from the September 2009 "Imperial Pilot Legacy II" Evolution 3-pack
• This time however the figure has only one Imperial insignia on the helmet - the way one of the pilots was seen in the original Star Wars
• The smaller blaster is a great addition to this figure - it's clearly based on the original vintage weapon - which is a nice nod to fans of the original vintage toy line -> Vintage Tie Fighter Pilot
• The basic Imperial Tie Fighter blaster doesn't fit into the holster - but the smaller blaster fits well
• Unfortunately - the pilot has trouble holding both blasters in his hands
• The helmet is a good fit and it can easily be taken off
• It's too bad that the chest has a hole in it where the chest box can be plugged-in
• It works well - but if you want to display it without the helmet on - you end up with a figure on display which has a hole in the chest
• The Tie Fighter pilot is painted well - the tears coming down on the helmet look good and the buttons on the chest box are painted cleanly
• Unfortunately - the figure's helmet doesn't have the small writing on the tip of the helmet's "mohawk"
• The chest box - the helmet and the cables can't be separated
• This figure offers only very little new compared to the previous releases - but for fans who have been collecting for a long time - small details such as the omission of the second Imperial insignia on the helmet - and the inclusion of an update vintage-style blaster - makes this figure worth adding to the collection
