Feast your eyes on an exclusive Star Wars Vintage Collection reveal for May 4
We're showing off the latest troop builder for Vintage Collection
You've been good this week, so how's about an exclusive Star Wars Vintage Collection reveal?
With May 4 (AKA Star Wars Day) almost upon us, 12DOVE is able to exclusively reveal the latest Star Wars Vintage Collection action figures – the X-Wing Pilot 4-Pack. As a troop builder in the vein of the Clone multi-packs we've been getting over the last year or so, this set contains four pilots plucked from the Ahsoka series. That means the flyguys are wearing New Republic iconography on their helmets, which are included as an accessory here alongside a pair of blasters each.
Multiple species are featured within the pack too; alongside your bog-standard humans are a Duros (like bounty hunter Cad Bane) and what I think might be a Mirialan (the same species as Jedi turncoat Barriss Offee, who returns in Tales of the Empire). You can take a look for yourself below.
In terms of who these characters are, I can only hazard a guess at two. After a quick look at Wookieepedia, I think one is Lieutenant Lander – a cheeky cameo from Pedro Pascal's body double that appeared as an X-Wing pilot mid-way through Ahsoka's first season. The second could be Lieutenant Jensu, a member of the same squad who helped fish Ahsoka out of the sea after she had her trippy dream sequence.
That may not be the case at all, of course, as none of the pilots are credited here. In addition, they might just be 'generic New Republic pilots #1 - 4.' But still, their helmets are pretty similar to their live-action counterparts so I think that's who we're getting here.
As for the official details, here's the blurb for this pack.
