Look and Feel
The TIE pilot is different from the last time we got him in the first Imperial pilot Legacy. This time there is a new clone head sculpt and there are gray stripes on his helmet (ace stripes). On top of all that we finally get a closed helmet! That last version was AWFUL!
The V-Wing pilot is a repaint of the last Imperial pilot Legacy V-Wing pilot. Hasbro went Shadow Squadron on us this time and to be quite honest I think this is what Lucas should have went with the hole time! These white pilots are not as cool. The only problem I have with this figure is keeping his helmet on so that the dark glass covers his eyes and attaching his chest plate.
Republic Gunship pilot is a repaint of a clone figure that was given a cool new helmet. In my book this is what I wish Lucas should have went with for the clone pilots in Episode III. I of couse would have made them black. It definetly looks likes like a precusor to a TIE pilot's helmet.
Articulation
The Gunship pilot has ball hinged head, shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. He also has swivel wrists and hips.
The TIE pilot has ball hinged head, shoulders, elbows, and knees. He also has swivel forearms, waist and hips. Sadly Hasbro hasn't articulated his ankles.
The V-Wing pilot has ball hinged head, shoulders, elbows, and knees. He also has swivel forearms, waist and hips.
Overall Reaction
This pack is not to popular with most collectors as they are filled up on clone pilots and really only want the TIE pilot. I definitely fall in this catagory, but after purchasing this pack I was pleasantly surprised by it. The V-Wing pilot just gives me another black pilot that I can use in a Gunship (perhaps the new one coming out). The real surprise of the pack for me was the Gunship pilot. I really dig his helmet! I would definitely be on board buying a black version of this and make my own Evolution to the TIE pilot. Speaking of the TIE pilot he is fantastic! I missed out on several releases of the TIE pilot due to him coming out with vehicles or he came out in the OTC (I missed most of those figures) and was jazzed to get this one. Pretty funny that now that I have the pilot I want a ship for him. Hopefully the rumor of the Interceptor is true and will be hitting shelves for a reasonable price.
