TVC ROTJ TIE Fighter Pilot Retraction

Posted by Paul | October 03, 2011 at 12:46 PM ET

With all of the different breaking news this week and last week, we misinformed our readers on a report and have to print a retraction. We sincerely apologize, but click through for the details.

We previously reported that it looked like Liuetenant Oxixo was being carded for the Return Of The Jedi version of the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot. Despite checking out the photo again and being persuaded otherwise, this isn't the case. Trooper Manny sends in clarification to us. See below.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the appreciation and for sharing the same passion for all things Star Wars :)

I was looking back at last week's previous post as well and I found that I have to inform you about a need to correct the issue about the Tie Fighter on Return card.

He isn't Oxixo but he may have appeared to be so because of the glare on the mohawk of the helmet when Bryan photographed the figure. Here is a another shot of the Tie Pilot and he doesn't have the striped mohawk. I just got my Endor Pilots boxset 1 and 2 and I have begun to understand why its important to know if the TVC is a rather uncommon repack or not. Not all of us here have the Endor Pilots exclusive boxsets and can only get them through friends from overseas.

The TVC pilot isn't Mianda as well, since Mianda has 4 silver dots on the mohawk. The Return TVC pilot is more like the Tie Interceptor TRU exclusive one same as the SDCC Death Star Revenge card.

Hope this helps :)

Best Regards,
Manny

Thank you so much Manny for the clarifications! We appreciate it!
