One Easter egg that I loved in the series was the way that they modeled Callahan's astromech droid after Kenner's vintage figure of R2-D2, even giving him the designation KE4-N4 (Kenner) 😊
Elated for you Tim mate for being recognised by Hasbro and bringing us these reveals🫶Couldn’t make the Con as leaving for Half Term family trip tomorrow, but will be watching tonight. Fantastic looking figure, love the helmet paint apps but only collecting OT atm👍
Thanks Mr. T Bossk for representing the TVC community at MCM. With Callahan and the E-Wing release, along with the rerelease of the X-Wing recently, do you think there's a good chance of other pilot figures coming out? Like others in the community, we'd love Porkins, Biggs, Wedge, etc. Were there any hints revealed for future pipelines?
Thanks Tim, sorry to say, she is using the (male) Luke X wing body. The only new parts are: -new upper torso and belt -new head -new lower legs you’ll notice she has the older style hinge hips, not barbell for this reason. IMO slapping a female head and torso on an existing male body is unacceptable corner cutting. we now have x wing pilots x2 Dedra meero e wing pilot all corner cutting by using female heads on male bodies. This would never happen in The Black Series: Appreciate the reveal but Im very disappointed. We are investing in TVC and Hasbro should too
I realize they want to release a pilot for the E-Wing, but where is Carson Teva? Mon Mothma also seriously needs some love. That Power of the Force figure is the last time her ROTJ appearance was updated. She is also in two new media shows! Andor and Ahsoka! This figure is beautiful though.
I gotta say the tooling costs used on this.. why not use her smaller build for female x-wing pilots.. i mean if she's much smaller lol But her and the Aura sing reissue.. so boring we barely need to keep them as reveals ooo how exciting the pilot we all expected since her ship is being made, and some reissue woooohooo? lol i wonder if Jedi and clone repaints are waiting for a "Order 66" story.. which i'd love but it'd be a heap of reuse.. both in jedi outfits and clone trooper repaints though it could get us through jedi very quickly which would be great.
Happy you were able to get this exclusive reveal. It looks great, no question. However this character isn’t one I’ve been pining for, and I’ll wont be picking this up.
Nice figure Tim, the gun reminds me of Han Solo's blaster while the control panel on the torso reminds me of Vader's. I already pre-ordered the E-wing so this is definitely going to get ordered as well. Not related to TVC, but i recently got the Hot Toys Manda deluxe Luke for only € 190,- and he looks terrific..
Pilot in gala uniform! White boots and white vest? - Which barracks yard strategist came up with this? One step on unpaved ground and the boots were once white! - Also, Where is the holster for the blaster pistol? Where else does a pilot put the blaster?
I’m genuinely so disappointed in tvc, we need every minor clone troopers that have existed and been fan favorites for over a decade. Comet, Sinker, Boost, Denal, Draa, even a Boil for our Waxer. We also still need a ton of bad batch characters too like you know the entire bad batch say for hunter. We even need a new clone pilot like Oddball. There’s so many minor characters with five seconds of screen time that aren’t this random pilot with two lines that we need
Of all the pilots that had way more screen time this is the one they make?Oddball,Porkins,Red Leader,Gold Leader,female pilots from Rogue One come on Hasbro.
All but the female R1 pilots have been made in some form previously (and we just got 2 other female X-Wing pilots) . This is something we've never had in any 3.75" line, in fact she's the first NR uniformed figure, plus she has a ship and a droid. It's obviously a matter of taste, but personally I can't criticise Hasbro for this one - for openers and pilot collectors she's a must.
@@stephenjohnston7630I completely agree with what you said. We needed an E-wing pilot to go with the new E-wing. There were only 2 choices and since the droid that comes with the ship is Callahan’s she makes the most sense. The other pilot could come someday also but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Of all the pilots to be released from the Favreau/ Filoni projects Carson Teva should have been first. This is great thst it ties in with the e-wing dropping soon…but Teva has been all three series Mando, BOBF, and Ashoka. Plus there are 3 figures that I can think of they could use his face sculpt on.
This is the pilot from the 1st episode of the Ashoka Disney+ series that pilots the E-Wing. As the E-Wing was put up for pre order months ago in TVC as a Pulse exclusive, complete with a carded KE4-N4 astromech droid is sold out and about to be shipped soon, it's safe to say A LOT of collectors, like myself, will want Lt. Calahan for their E-Wing.
@robearnest7613 actually the E-wing is gonna be a disney store exclusive. Had limited pre-order on Pulse when it was announced, now it will only be available at disney store.
So you have the tech to create a e-wing but you have pilots with wired communicators? Money must have been tight after the war. Buying two of these of course.
Thanks for the reveal and the later reveals to come. I have a question: Does anyone know what’s up with Tungori, the website is down? Is it permanently closed?
bossk, was it you or usual mike that made the Lt Callahan video with the female with big , um assets, from the police academy movies, that we wanted as a vintage collection figure instead of this one?
Unfortunately I don’t think Hasbro could get away with not making this figure. It’s a waste of a production spot. I’ll be putting a 5POA TFA pilot in my E-Wing. Such a disappointment to see what black series is getting and we keep getting Mando repaints and this
Black series get a new luminara unduli, shaak ti and sebulba today, and us tvc fans get this pile of shite. Man it sucks to be a 3.75 collector. Thank god im not a completionist. Easiest of passes.
Happy for you that you were given this exclusive reveal, Tim. A testament to the quality of your work. But I have less than zero interest in this figure.
It shows hasbro is not serious about the VC. Old style hips? Stupid. I try to be positive, but his is just dumb. And I don't even want this figure., it is the principle.
Heck yeah! Been waiting for that E-Wing pilot, and was hoping she'd be at NYCC. So cool you got an exclusive reveal!
One Easter egg that I loved in the series was the way that they modeled Callahan's astromech droid after Kenner's vintage figure of R2-D2, even giving him the designation KE4-N4 (Kenner) 😊

Great work Bossk, and congratulations on being asked to make this announcement.

Looks good! Thank you for the reveal BB!
Awesome reveal! Glad this figure is up for preorder soon to complete the E-Wing set. 👍🏽
I’m glad you got to do the reveal. For some reason I am not into the E-wing and her character. I am going to leave Aura behind as well.
There was a very nice close rear view of Sabine riding her speeder bike tightly. 😉
Thanks Tim, sorry to say, she is using the (male) Luke X wing body. The only new parts are:
-new upper torso and belt
-new head
-new lower legs
you’ll notice she has the older style hinge hips, not barbell for this reason.
IMO slapping a female head and torso on an existing male body is unacceptable corner cutting.
we now have
x wing pilots x2
Dedra meero
e wing pilot
all corner cutting by using female heads on male bodies.
This would never happen in The Black Series:
Appreciate the reveal but Im very disappointed. We are investing in TVC and Hasbro should too
I realize they want to release a pilot for the E-Wing, but where is Carson Teva? Mon Mothma also seriously needs some love. That Power of the Force figure is the last time her ROTJ appearance was updated. She is also in two new media shows! Andor and Ahsoka!
This figure is beautiful though.
Nice Lady for the E-Wing, thanxxx a lot Tim [as always]
Look closely at the upper leg/hip joint on the left leg at 1:44. Old style hip joints instead of the new ball joint style. Disappointing.
She looks really good. Really excited for this one!
Looking forward to this figure.
Thanks for the reveal, though I was expecting a brand spanker 😅
I gotta say the tooling costs used on this.. why not use her smaller build for female x-wing pilots.. i mean if she's much smaller lol
But her and the Aura sing reissue.. so boring we barely need to keep them as reveals ooo how exciting the pilot we all expected since her ship is being made, and some reissue woooohooo? lol
i wonder if Jedi and clone repaints are waiting for a "Order 66" story.. which i'd love but it'd be a heap of reuse.. both in jedi outfits and clone trooper repaints though it could get us through jedi very quickly which would be great.
Thought the theme was going to be return to Tatooine?
Happy you were able to get this exclusive reveal. It looks great, no question. However this character isn’t one I’ve been pining for, and I’ll wont be picking this up.
I saw the entire Ahsoka show. I don’t remember this pilot at all. 😮
Thanks, Tim. Looks like they are building a few more pilot bodies. Could this pave the way for Carson Teva next?
it’s not a new body. It’s the x wing Luke body with new shins and upper torso, look closely
Figure looks amazing! They nailed this one. More excited for her than I am the snowtrooper! Now where’s my E-wing, Pulse?
Nice figure Tim, the gun reminds me of Han Solo's blaster while the control panel on the torso reminds me of Vader's. I already pre-ordered the E-wing so this is definitely going to get ordered as well. Not related to TVC, but i recently got the Hot Toys Manda deluxe Luke for only € 190,- and he looks terrific..
Hi there Tim, awesome figure 😄 keep up the great work buddy
Pass.
Pilot in gala uniform! White boots and white vest? - Which barracks yard strategist came up with this?
One step on unpaved ground and the boots were once white! - Also, Where is the holster for the blaster pistol? Where else does a pilot put the blaster?
I’m getting real annoyed with this whole no prequels newly tooled figures or smart repaints lately.
That is the pilot who says she is crazy
I’m genuinely so disappointed in tvc, we need every minor clone troopers that have existed and been fan favorites for over a decade. Comet, Sinker, Boost, Denal, Draa, even a Boil for our Waxer. We also still need a ton of bad batch characters too like you know the entire bad batch say for hunter. We even need a new clone pilot like Oddball.

Should have came with the e wing. Not the droid.
@@stephenjohnston7630I completely agree with what you said. We needed an E-wing pilot to go with the new E-wing. There were only 2 choices and since the droid that comes with the ship is Callahan’s she makes the most sense. The other pilot could come someday also but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Aw but I love that droid!
Pass.
Of all the pilots to be released from the Favreau/ Filoni projects Carson Teva should have been first. This is great thst it ties in with the e-wing dropping soon…but Teva has been all three series Mando, BOBF, and Ashoka. Plus there are 3 figures that I can think of they could use his face sculpt on.
It'll look Great with my E-Wing.
where are the other reveals? All I saw online was an update Aurra and 3 TBS figures.
Figure for my E wing fighter when it comes
She looks. Nice to get an E-Wing Pilot. (I hope the helmet isn't wobbly on her.)
Nice Tim! Thanks for the reveal! Now I gotta get an extra copy of her droid to keep carded. Wonder what the going to rate for him will be on eBay?
Callahan before Carson? She had like 10 secs in 1 episode, Carson been in 3 shows so far!!!! What gives?!
ollies material. of all the characters....
Who? This will be the greatest pegwarmer evah
Hope it is a peg warmer,that means there will be plenty about lol 👍
I doubt it. Pilots are like Stormtroopers, collectors always want more pilots...
Yeah, super ugly figure
This is the pilot from the 1st episode of the Ashoka Disney+ series that pilots the E-Wing.
As the E-Wing was put up for pre order months ago in TVC as a Pulse exclusive, complete with a carded KE4-N4 astromech droid is sold out and about to be shipped soon, it's safe to say A LOT of collectors, like myself, will want Lt. Calahan for their E-Wing.

So you have the tech to create a e-wing but you have pilots with wired communicators? Money must have been tight after the war. Buying two of these of course.
Id rather have a new Rebel pilot or Rebel soldier mold. I dont care about anything involving the shitty New Republic
Thanks for the reveal and the later reveals to come. I have a question:
Does anyone know what’s up with Tungori, the website is down? Is it permanently closed?
When is the later reveals mate?
Should’ve been Carson!
You hear they only doing 6 new sculpts for 2025
bossk, was it you or usual mike that made the Lt Callahan video with the female with big , um assets, from the police academy movies, that we wanted as a vintage collection figure instead of this one?
TVC is starving hasbro
Unfortunately I don’t think Hasbro could get away with not making this figure. It’s a waste of a production spot. I’ll be putting a 5POA TFA pilot in my E-Wing. Such a disappointment to see what black series is getting and we keep getting Mando repaints and this
Hard pass. 😐
Glad you had the opportunity, though. 👍
No barbells is unfortunate.
Black series get a new luminara unduli, shaak ti and sebulba today, and us tvc fans get this pile of shite. Man it sucks to be a 3.75 collector. Thank god im not a completionist. Easiest of passes.
Callahan must be her married name
Happy for you that you were given this exclusive reveal, Tim. A testament to the quality of your work. But I have less than zero interest in this figure.
Another peg warmer.
That face is ok, but it does not properly reflect the actress IMO - it's too puffy
Bossk it's too early for toy porn, go to sleep, thanks for the reveal.
It shows hasbro is not serious about the VC. Old style hips? Stupid. I try to be positive, but his is just dumb. And I don't even want this figure., it is the principle.
Oh F Y !!!!
What....Where captain carson teva? He had way more screen time than this person.
Carson didn’t fly an E-Wing
Disappointing!
Boring garbage....
Cool
