Offhand, not that I can think of, but prior to the Sabine and Chopper set, they hadn't done a two pack exclusive. That's pretty much the basis for my thinking she might be. Because like that two pack, she's connected to a Pulse-exclusive (of sorts) ship.

I'm thinking they won't ever do a single figure as a pulse exclusive.
they could under certain circumstances, like maybe if walmart or target took an excl, it's in production and transit, but then wm or target backs out. If hasbro needs an outlet for that item, they could use pulse as an option. Probable? no. Possible? yeah.
but then again, as i mentioned previously, they did have a couple shared excl single figs...Merrick's droid and holiday chewie so depends if you are counting shared excls or not.

I don't know that it will be a Pulse Exclusive, since her ship is a shared item between Pulse and Disney, you'd think the pilot would also be available at both. I mean it's not like people don't want the figure just because they don't have the ship, so I don't see Hasbro limiting her release in that regard. A single figure as an Excusive tends to generally be a "variant" in some way like Krrsantan was, well that was a Con Exclusive but the reasoning still holds. They will always be able to sell more figures than vehicles.
I also don't think they would put a new media character as an Exclusive, sure an obscure OT character, but on from a current show? My reasoning for thinking it's not a Con Exclusive is because it would have to be mostly new, they might be able to get away with reusing Luke's legs but with everyone hot for rocker ankles I feel their ability to keep reusing that sculpt is aging like milk. In most cases Exclusives tend to be straight reissues or repaints, not retools. Though as suggested it could be a shared one, possible a Fan Channel. IDK We've seen some very off patters stuff as of late.

Not sure a company can back out of a deal once a product is "in transit." These are very far-fetched scenarios. Is anything "possible?" Certainly. Will it happen? Nah.
I'm not. Pulse Exclusive means exactly that.
Rey.(island journey)
Cantina saga sets, wave 2
..both wm and cancelled by wm. WM probably has big enough bawz to do just that
Rescue set, just to name 1, found elsewhere after pulse had it exclusively. So what's "exclusive", besides a haslab item, like the barge & yak face coin/card (not counting yak face or jabba figures)

Pulse is certainly not adverse to unloading their exclusives at EE, BBTS, or even Ross/Ollies if they have excess inventory that won't move, or damaged boxes.
A whole slew of Joe Classified damaged box ones showed up at BBTS within the past month.

I'll take your word for it, as I don't really know the particulars of these instances. Which means I should probably stop making blanket statements!
That said, I still think it unlikely Pulse will ever do just a single figure as an exclusive. But we'll see!.

I hope she's an exclusive because that means she may come sooner and she won't take up a main line slot.
The downside to being an exclusive is those typically reuse a lot of parts so hello repainted Luke X-Wing.
But I don't recall Hasbro saying one way or the other when she was pipelined. Just that she was coming to pilot her ship.

^ Good points. It's always nice to see something not take up a main line slot
I'm surprised that we haven't seen some type of backstage images of her outside the ship somewhere, these days it seems easier to find photos of them in full costume compared to the OT which took decades for some to surface.
One nitpick that I have about the X-Wing 4-pk was that they didn't bother to swap the ammo belt to opposite leg on any of them to offer variety, is Antoc located in a totally different factory? lol
I mean he was a retool of Luke so surely those two molds are close together.

According to BB, this goes up for preorder on Wednesday 10/30 1PM EST - should be in the wave with the Snowtrooper and the Doctor.

That's like 50% all new.
Hasbro out here doing my wallet yet another favor with a figure I can easily skip.
Nice figure, but that white is 'impossibly white', especially the boots. Needs a slight detail application.

Pretty good overall, though the head looks a bit on the Cabbage Patch side, almost like one of those custom printed headsculpts from Disney that's slightly too large for the body proportions.
I didn't get the E-wing, but I won't say no to more Sequel-era pilots. And yes, I know she's from the New Republic period, but with that life preserver jacket she'll fit in just fine with Poe, C'ai and Paige Tico.*
(*Seriously, those are the only Sequel-era pilots we have that don't have the helmets sculpted on).

She looks great! Very pleased with the execution. Will be preordering multiples next week. Only minor critique I can think of has nothing to do with the figure itself. Wish they had either matched the shade of yellow on the swatch/name pill exactly to her droid’s card, or gone with a different color altogether. The slightly different shades of yellow are going to bug me when they’re side by side on my wall.
Just don’t stick them side by side on your wall.She looks great! Very pleased with the execution. Will be preordering multiples next week.

Lt. Callahan looks fine. No complaints from me. The main thing to get right was the headsculpt and torso. I’ll be glad to pick one up to go with the E-Wing.
And trigger another of my specific forms of OCD!? Never!!Just don’t stick them side by side on your wall.

I'm more hoping 1027 has a Pulse exclusive that no one saw coming
Just noticed the waist/pelvis and upper legs are re-use from X-wing Luke. I can see the outdated hinges in the promo pic. Not a deal breaker, or even a surprise, really, but still a minor bummer. Upper arms might be Luke's as well, not sure. Still a nice looking figure, still down for at least four.
*edit: Upper and lower arms are from Luke as well.

It’s a cool looking figure. It would’ve been cooler if she actually did more stuff in the show.
There's a bit more new parts than I had anticipated, due to her being a Fan Channel. What a difference new torso and lower legs make, for a minute there I had thought it was all new!
Not for me though, I'd rather have Carson and a few other Pilots that still wear the old X-Wing gear.

Looks great! Can't wait to add her to the pilot collection.

I would have liked if the E-Wing was part of the fighter complement with Hera, instead of only X-Wings. Kind of wasteful to do a 3D model for just the Sabine scene.
All the more reason to leave the helmet on.
If she is part of the Snowtrooper wave, that means we have her in hand around June of next year.
