Star Wars Galactic Hero TIE Pilot & Wedge The Galactic Heroes, a more child-based strain of the Star Wars line, are about two inches tall and look to have a little articulation to them. Wedge, Luke s old buddy, who seemed to fare pretty well and ultimately joined Rogue Squadron, is poised in his familiar white and orange flight gear, complete with removable crash helmet and handheld blaster. He s at odds with his pistol-carrying unnamed TIE Fighter counterpart. TIE Fighter Pilot is clad in his ominous polished black flight gear, which includes an elaborate helmet—with mask and oxygen tubes since the TIE Fighters do not include support-sustained cabins. Seemingly this is playing on the dogfight between Wedge and the TIE Fighter Pilot that wanted to earn his stripes by incinerating a low-flying Skywalker prior to that one miracle shot and the complete destruction of the Death Star.
Customer Review: Great figures!
The TIE Pilot and Wedge figures are a great set. Wedge’s helmet *can* be removed (so please keep this in mind if you are giving this to a youngster who tends to stick things in their mouth). There have been several X-wing vehicles released for the Galactic Heroes line, so if you can find one of them, Wedge would be a great Wingman for Luke Skywalker (if you’re building a Rebel Fleet).
