Probably that tube.

Second that. How do you find the helmet? Mine was full of stain when I unbox the toy; guess the factory just rushed the production batches for this. Arggh

Tried my best but couldn't get the right shot (like one of the bros did in previous post)

Argh felt short changed, the visor is cloudy and the cheeks area have fingerprints on it.

Send it back. You deserve the best quality product if you are paying what they charge for these.

Manage to clear away much of the tarnishing and stains, phew~ The helmet looks much crispy now!

Looks Great Mirai how did you manage to get rid of the stains?

Haha thanks! I used one of those "special sponges" that my mum bought locally. These sponge has some kind of chemical which can remove stubborn stain; mostly used to remove algae stain on floors. All you have to do is to dip the sponge in water and apply (by rubbing) to the affected area. Well at least the helmet looks cleaner now compared to the 1st time when I unbox the tie pilot.

This guy needs a little more love.

You are quick to say send it back when it's possible for the person to fix the issue. And people complain about rising costs for these figures.

What's one more picture of this awesome piece

 

[jedibear]

I like that shot ^^^

....teetering here...should I go for this one or not....

 

[FullMetalHippie]

I really like mine but he could have really used some sort of accessory. He has a blaster with no holster or magnetic attachment so he either holds it or not. He came with a special gripping hand but there's no reason to use it. I wonder if Hot Toys had something planned but scrapped it?

I have mine in an "at ease" pose with hands behind his back. Maybe I'll try the Starkiller base speech pose, where all the troops did their First Order salute with their fist in the air.

He's a very nice figure but I would try to get him at a deal if you do, might get discounted down the line. Someone said he was going for $175 shipped regularly on eBay.

 

[jedibear]

....thanks for the advice, TonTon...I may just look around a bit more then.

 

[Hartmann]

mine new collection with Hot Toys MMS 324

I'll change accurate filter and metal clip parts soon

 

[FullMetalHippie]

That's beautiful Hartman. Did it come with the special forces stripes or did you paint it? (The full scale helmet)

 

[VergenceITF]

The "special forces stripes" don't actually exist on the real costume!

They were caused by a reflection on the mask of red lights on the console in front of the TIE pilot when filming

There were very few actual pictures available pre release of TFA, everything was top secret

Perhaps the toy companies were given the early pictures and an urban myth was born!
