Description

Faces behind the helmets

TIE fighters swarm through almost every era of Star Wars, and the pilots in their dark, enclosed helmets are nearly as recognisable as the ships. They rarely get much screen time as individuals, which makes a figure dedicated to one of them a nice change. The elite version is set apart from ordinary pilots by its styling, so it works well for fans who want a villain figure that does not look like every other trooper on the shelf.

How the figure goes together

Buildable figures are assembled from ball joints, armour shells, limbs and a helmet piece rather than stacked bricks. That is why the catalogue lists no minifigures here: the pilot is the model. Once built, the figure stands on its own and can be posed in different stances, which suits children who like action figures and adults looking for a display piece. The build is short, but the result is noticeably larger than a minifigure.

Parts worth a closer look

An unusually high 49 of the 94 pieces are distinct elements, more than half of the total. Many of them belong to the buildable figure system and rarely show up in regular sets. The main colours are black, dark bluish grey, red and light bluish grey, with red the only strong accent. Because so few parts repeat, the build keeps changing from step to step, which makes the short assembly feel more involved.

Checking and reusing

Loose figures often turn up with a missing joint or armour piece. The parts list on this page shows every element with colour and quantity, so you can check a second-hand copy in minutes. Joints and shells from figures like this are also popular for custom robots and mechs. What can I build? on this page compares your collection with other sets and highlights builds you can complete now or with only a few extra parts.
