Check out 21st web site.
The pilot looks real good. I mean really really good.

yes he certainly does! Excellent looking figure.
This is not a complaint but a suggestion i'd like to see for future pilot figures from all companies: an option for having visors/goggles up or down. If you're posing the aircraft in flight with the pilot in it, it would be nice to have the helmet visor or goggles covering the eyes, as would normally be seen. Perhaps offering two head sculpts (one with visor/goggles up, the other with visor/goggles down) would be the simplest way of accomplishing this. At the moment the only figures i can think of that have their goggles over his eyes is the 21c Corsair pilot and the stuka gunner...making both very useful heads.

That figure looks great. I like the direction 21st is going with the head sculpts. Like the USMC figures, those sculpts have "personality" if not attitude. I hope they continue this in upcoming figure releases.

Holy cow! That is top notch! If the release looks anywhere close to that, we are in for one hell of a treat!

Great looking pilot! Bring on the new F-86 model, old Sabrefan really wants a few!

I think that's the best pilot I have seen yet.

Wow! That is one of the better pilots made in 1:18. If this is what a production sample will more or less look like, then we are in for a treat. I like it better than the Mig-15 pilot. It sure makes the AT F-86 pilot look even more cruddy

Looks good, I think they used a different type of paint than the other figures, then again, I am not a figure expert, dont know much about them.
Now if they would show the completed plane!

I would buy an extra figure to replace the Admiral Toys one I got with thier F-86.

I hope they make pilots available carded again as I've phased planes out of my collecting all together... I just don't have the space and air combat's not been a huge hobby for me so I'm just into saving the $. I love the figure though. I'd gladly buy that and any others.

That`s a Fantastic figure.
That cocky smurk is just classic
I must admit I had to closely look at that visor as it looked like it actually did go up & down (I know no doubt wishfull thinking).
I`m with Aferg that the the visors should & also clip on oxy masks too (have it attached one side & clips the other).
Also having the helmet removable too
Thus giving the owner of the figure the full spectrum of helmet wearing styles.
Still this figure is Sweet & I may get one just for getting one`s sake.
Now if XD can do a (late 20th early 21st century) Modern Jet Jockey Pilot too I`d truely be happy (moreso if the helmet has my mentioned mods to it).
