evolution of star wars pilots
there are many sub-genres in star wars line that many collector focus on, the obvious one are the droids, the aliens, and with prequels come the jedi and the multitude of clone troopers. one of the popular section in recent years is many of the rebel pilots from the original trilogy. likes many of the aliens, these pilots usually have brief line or scene but just like the real world counterpart there is something romantic and mythical about these knight of the skies (or space).
one of the thing that 2004-2006 vintage series did for star wars line was to bring about better articulations and details to these action-figures. the release of luke skywalker x-wing pilot in 2006 saga legend line proved that hasbro could do a superbly details pilot figures with super-articulations to go along with it.
hasbro released several popular rebels pilot figures from the movies in the 30th anniversary pilot such as biggs darklighter, zev senesca and tycho celchu. while biggs and zev still have the limited and swivel joint articulations from previous 2004-05 line, tycho has full ball joints and hinge found on 2006 vintage series.
the follow up series, the legacy collection, though concentrated mainly on the droids, saw several more highly details pilots including long awaited wedge antilles, red leader garven dreis, nien numb in b-wing outfit and luke in his rebel snowspeeder outfit and this time the articulations from 2006 vintage series were applied to the figure along with super details chest contraption. due to their popularity, hasbro also packaged several rebels pilots and released them as part of the evolutions series, in which they includes many of the expanded universe pilots from comic books. a few set of comic series also debut expanded universe pilots on their own.
along with rebels, hasbro also releases couple of imperial pilots set that shows their evolutions from clone pilots into the fearsome imperial pilots. in 2011, hasbro decide to combine the two and release battle of endor set including not only the named imperial and rebels pilot but also astromech droids.
2012 saw return of several more pilot figures to the rank. this sub-genre of star wars collecting still prove to be popular and the pilots figures are always sought after. hasbro plan another "battle" pack pilots set featuring the battle of yavin.
