Not everybody collects vehicles. I'm actually primarily an action figure collector, only buying the very occasional vehicle. I have tons of pilot figures with no ships to go with them.
For sure for sure. I just find TVC real estate so rare that I think they should’ve just included her with the ship and saved a carded basic slot for someone more significant.
My guess is that they knew people were also going to want that Kenner-esque droid, so they were in a position of having to choose between two options as the pack-in.

I think there would be enough utility that you could work it with both OT and ST. That being said, ST pilots are among the least offensive of the potential ST figures and just about the only ones I would entertain getting simply because you can still use them in a OT setting and make up a 'story' to justify it.
They won't release the droid by itself. They just won't.
Why wouldn’t they? The E-Wing is not a Haslab. There are plenty of collectors that will want the droid and pilot but not the ship. Seems like a missed opportunity to not offer a separate release down the road.
Antoc Merrick would like a word.
Never say never
Yeah but he's a high ranking rebel officer pilot and people love pilots. Meanwhile this one is a generic astromech I didn't know existed and lord knows we have enough of those. But hey if Hasbro wants to release toys why should I argue with them.
I"ll say it right now. Never.Never say never
That being said, combining him with the X-Wing was also probably the best way to get the Blue Squadron X-Wing as well. I had nothing to complain about with the arrangement than they should have packed the droid in too.
I would be surprised if that isn't the case.
I'm hoping she ships soon after the announcement, similar to how Pulse Con figures are handled. They announced her in the pipeline many months ago. With many current pre-orders slated to ship in mid to late 2025, it would be a nice surprise to have her ship much sooner to coincide with the pending E-Wing release.
well, there is "CON EXCL 3"....maybe there was a production delay thus not mentioned at, or for SDCC or NYCC. Then again, London MCM and 1027 are a few days away.....Callahan in the FC wave seems fitting, character-wise, but not timed well w/ E-wing release. (something Hasbro still needs improving)
I would suspect 1027 as that's a direct Hasbro thing and her ship is a Pusle item.
Same here, probably more interested in this reveal for that very reason over others because I kind of expect what those will be/look like. Second will be Chewie because I want to see how much better/dynamic he'll look in poses! Han is Han, he'll look the same as he always does, just better head sculpt with hopefully the best likeness ever.
Would make sense to do that since her ship was as well. Hopefully they make her male counterpart eventually, along with his droid, which supposedly uses the N0/A-LT series dome, and looks something like this:
Maybe she'll be another "No Boobs" female pilot.
have they ever done a single-carded figure as a Pulse exclusive?
sorta, they were shared exclusives though. Merrick's droid (shared w/ other fan channel), and Holiday Chewie (shared w/ disney store) are 2 i can think of off hand. But a solo excl? Hmmm......been a while, and under the Hasbro toyshop name......McQ Luke, McQ Ben/Yoda, TLC "smiley face" Luke,
