What pilot figure is your favorite? I would have to say it is a tie between the BBI Corsair pilot, and the new MIG-15 pilot. I think the new 21st Century F-86 pilot will be awesome also. :D

I like the F-104 pilots. The new Avenger pilot is pretty good too.

I like the BBI Corsair pilot as well, with close ties being the BBI P-51 pilot and the 21c F-104 pilot.

The new BBI carded Chopper pilot, and/or the 21st Century Air Cav pilot (for the helmet and Air Cav insignia)

I would have to say the bbi P-51 pilot. You get the 50 mission crusher and flight helmet. That's just nice.

The BBi Zero pilot. Close second is 21C Huey pilot with removeable helmet.

I would have to say that Bbi makes good figures in 1:18 21st is getting good and I do like the avanger and the mig pilots, but since they do not have removable helmets that a - for me.

The bbi pilots stand head and shoulders above 21C's. I've said this before, that I wish bbi would release them as carded figures.

My picks are the BBI Mustang pilot and the BBI Corsair pilot. Like someone else said here I wish BBI would sell them seperately.



:D

I wanted to share one of our customer’s creations. He sent it to us in the mail over 3 months ago. It was sent to our old PO Box and we did not receive it until last week. I hope they are not mad that we have not mentioned what an incredible job he did with our underachieving pilot. We really like the details he added and think it was a top notch improvement. You just may see some of his details in future pilots. This must have taken a lot of time and effort... really nice job.

Therefore following is my favorite pilot. You will see a couple of other manufactures parts in the mix... this is the first, official, inter-manufacturer cooperation! Ok, so maybe it wasn't volitional.

For what he had to start with, this is a great pilot:
