Star Wars Medicom VCD TIE Fighter Pilot Vinyl Figure

The TIE Fighter Pilot VCD stands 8 tall and comes equipped with a blaster pistol. Presented in the Vinyl Character Doll format, this dastardly Imperial thug achieves a more innocuous mood, stealthily warming hearts to his headlong missions of tyranny and destruction. Signaled by the deaths-head visage of a Stormtrooper inverted-black, the VCD version is nevertheless skewed more in accordance with the uber-benign Galactic Heroes line-up. This is a version of the TIE Fighter Pilot that occasionally prefers a nice game of Connect Four to heavy laser fire and meteor-entwined dogfights.

Identified by numbers rather than names and cultivated almost in the manner of insect drones, the TIE Fighter Pilots were a prime example of Imperial cannon fodder. TIE Fighters were constructed for swarm effectiveness; individually the vessels didnt offer much by way of armor or defense. For the TIE Fighter pilots, the life expectancy was generally low. Many times, their missions had a way of culminating at the business end of X-Wing laser barrages or flush against the occasional drifting asteroid.
