Head
Light Flesh head with an angry expression, featuring prominent cheekbone lines, dark brown eyebrows, and white pupils. Dual-sided printing is not present on this specific version.
Torso
Black torso with a detailed life-support system print. It includes a chest control box with blue and red buttons, grey atmospheric hoses connecting to the shoulders, and a grey belt buckle on the waistline. Plain black arms and hands.
Legs
Black legs with grey lines representing flight suit padding, pockets, and knee protectors. The printing is high-contrast light grey over the black plastic base.
Accessories
Should include a black TIE Pilot helmet with the Imperial insignia on both sides and a standard black medium blaster (not pictured in image).
Color Scheme
Monochrome black and grey palette with small accents of red and blue on the chest controls. Light flesh skin tone for the head.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing on the torso and front of the legs. The hoses on the torso align well with the neck piece. No printing on the back of the legs or the arms.
Variants
This specifically uses the 'angry clone' face common to the mid-2010s. Other variants of TIE pilots exist with classic yellow heads (sw0035) or later versions with more detailed helmet molds and different head prints.
Condition Notes
The image shows the figure is missing its hair/helmet. Common wear points include torso cracks on the sides and loose hip joints. The grey printing on the legs can prone to rubbing off.

Character Background
Imperal TIE Pilots are the elite flight wing of the Galactic Empire. This specific design is based on their appearance in the 'Star Wars Rebels' animated series, characterized by the specific hose and belt layout.
Design Notes
Notable for being part of the 'Rebels' design wave where LEGO moved toward a more uniform facial print for Imperial characters (the 'Angry Clone' face).
Similar Minifigures
sw0543 TIE Fighter Pilot (UCS), sw0600 TIE Fighter Pilot (Standard), sw0268 TIE Pilot (Classic).
Collectibility
Moderate. While a cool army-builder, it is one of the more common TIE pilot variations due to the widespread use of this head and torso in 2015 sets.
History
Represents the transition period where LEGO Star Wars minifigures shifted from simple torso prints to highly detailed leg-to-torso continuous printing.
Interesting Facts
The face print used here was the 'universal' face for almost every Stormtrooper and Imperial pilot produced between 2013 and 2019.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a TIE Fighter MOC or within an Imperial hangar scene. Needs the official helmet to be considered complete for display.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Imperial army building. The torso is a great base for custom Imperial officers or technicians if the hoses are ignored.
Overall Assessment
A solid, standard-issue Imperial soldier. Its current state in the photo is 'Incomplete' due to the missing helmet, which significantly impacts its value but remains a high-quality play figure.
