Empire Strikes Back - Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot. This figure first appeared on The Empire Strikes Back 47 back card. The card image was swapped out for a new image on the Tri-logo cards. It must have been a hard life for the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot. Not only did the dude have to live without a name (or face for that matter) of his own, he had to haul butt in a fast moving ball with two huge targets mounted on its sides and try making it through a battle without the luxury of shields of any kind. On a plus note, he did get to blow up defending a giant space orb of evil that, by design, tends to be built specifically to be inevitably destroyed by upstart rebels... Though all vintage figures have minor variations, the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot has no major variations.
