Man, that thing looks great. Massive, though. Hang that bad boy from your ceiling. Love the shot of the three different size TIE's.

If I hang it from my ceiling flush I'd still walk into it. Basically, if you stand the box upwards, that's how tall it is. 24.5 Inches tall.

Could always hang it in a corner. You definitely don't have the shelf space for it. Time to expand into the rest of the house. Hehe.

That's a game changing toy for Star Wars fans.

I saw this at Gamestop the other day, and was very close to putting this on lay-away, however, those cheap rubbery plastic wings are a deal breaker. If you place this on the floor or on a shelf, I can only imagine the type of warping that will eventually occur under the vehicle's own weight after a period of time. If they had gone with the harder plastic wings of years past, no problem, but if I am going to be paying near Hot Toys prices for Hasbro quality toys, I sincerely expect better, not cheap shortcuts. An awesome idea, but it should have been better executed. I'll pass.

^^Yeah...don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to poop on people's parades or kill their hype for it. I REALLY wanted this thing, but with those crappy wings, it would be like paying for a Hot Toys Predator, only to find out that the netting is painted on with a magic marker, as opposed to being an actual fishnet bodysuit. For the price, the wings were a corner that Hasbro shouldn't have even considered crossing...
At least they didn't include any "action features" like firing missiles or blow apart wings. That would have killed the aesthetic entirely. That TIE fighter pilot included with the vehicle is very cool looking though, I'll give it that. Last edited by Trivial Psychic; 10-26-2015 at 12:52 PM.. |

Just for the record, not rubber wings. A tad softer plastic, but not rubber. The warped nature is not from weight. Either like that from pressing or due to them sitting on top of the round pod that ships in-between.
On this one, only one side, the right (left in the pictures when looking dead on) is warped on the lower part of wing. Other one is fine My 3.75 tie - warped on both sides, top bottom , front back. |

This tie fighter is all kinds of awesome. Put some red leds in the cockpit and this is one of my conversation pieces.
