Have you had permission from attakus to use this photo??

 

nnnnnnnnnnnnnope

 

He's too expensive. For God's sake he's only a pilot sir!!!! With a giant head!!!

Yea saw him up at Nside today. I think I'll pass on this little guy.

 

Very nice....

 

looks like he's doing a stomach stretch after a large beer

 

^^^ btw. What brand of bear do TIE Fighter pilots drink? I'd say Guiness because of the colour.

 

That head does look pretty huge doesn't it. If they sell it for $10 I'll buy.

 

The head is movie accurate. If you go back and watch ANH when Darth Vader orders the TIE Pilots to come with him, the helmets are rather out of proportion with the actors' bodies.

I like the look, but I'd rather have a GG mini-bust of the TIE Pilot than an Attakus statue.

 

I know they had big heads in the movies...and this guy has one too. That's why I've never liked tie figther pilots...they look stupid and have big heads.

I'd rather save up and get GG Maul or Boba instead of this little nugget.

 

TIE pilots and the AT-AT pilots look goofy as hell with those big domes. Why couldn't they just be the standard size! They lok much longer in the grill than a regular troopie.

 

You have to remember that the TIE Pilot and AT-AT Driver helmets are a combination of the Stormtrooper helmet and the X-Wing Pilot helmet. The angle of the "face/snout" is different than the ST helmet and the overall shape is round rather than more slender at the top and flared at the bottom.
