Rebel Pilots Legacy III
John Branon, Shira Brie, and Storm CommandoJake Farrell
Accessories
John Branon comes with X-Wing helmet and blaster pistol.
Shira Brie comes with X-Wing helmet and two blasters (one of which is a cool sawed off blaster).
Jake Ferrall comes with A-wing helmet and blaster.
Look and Feel
As far as pilots go Hasbro has done a pretty good job of mixing and matching parts of other figures to make the bodies look slightly different. Where the real diffence comes in of course is the head and helmet. John Branon is already different enough in size and sex from Shira Brie, but also doesn't sport a holster for his blaster. Jake Farell is a cross between a couple of A-wing pilots as well. All and all they are spot on and look fantastic on my Rebel Pilots shelf.
Articulation
John Branon and Shira Brie have ball hinged head, shoulders, elbows, torso, ankels, and knees. He also has swivel forearms, waist and hips. Pretty standard articulation for an X-wing pilot.
Jake Farell has ball hinged head, shoulder, elbows, ankels, and knees. He also has swivel forearms, hips, and torso.
Overall Reaction
This pack is popular with most collects as we are all eager to have as many different Rebel Pilots as possible. Pretty soon I think we will have enough of these guys to recreate the briefing room from A New Hope. There are two things that really stand out to me and they both to deal with Jake Farell. I personally like the helmet that Tycho Celchu has much better. I like how you get the soft helmet than the real helmet with the yellow glass that you see in Return of the Jedi. I just really enjoy helmets that give the illusion of glass. Secondly I was super jazzed to see Farrell get the gun that the vintage A-wing pilot had! Very cool! When I put together my display of past and present figure I am definitely putting this on with my vintage A-wing pilot.
So if your into Rebel pilots this is the pack for you, but don't expect huge bells and whistles. There is only so much you can do with a pilot.
