Another photo review of a 1/6 scale fighter pilot figure. Here is the Hot Toys F/A-18 Hornet Pilot from their US Aircrew / Aviator series figures.
This is a re-issue/upgraded version since Hot Toys made an F-18 pilot before featuring a Will Smith headsculpt.
Headsculpt is a Val Kilmer look-alike. Body is a TrueType-38 with bendy hands/cloth aviator gloves and boot-feet (molded plastic).
The CWU-27/P Nomex flight suit with Captain rank insignia on shoulders, brown/tan undershirt. Helmet bag, watch and aviator sunglasses. This figure features the cloth Garrison Cap and 4 unit patches/1 american flag patch (velcro attachment).
CSU-15/P Anti-G suit (gravity pants)/Leg garters and the CSU-17/P Anti-G vest.
MA-2 Torso harness and Survival vest with the LPU-23/P life-preserver.
Notice the connection of the hose from the Anti-G vest to the Survival vest. Shown above are the accessories (same also with the F-4 Phantom pilot figure) located on the Survival vest pouches (exclude the watch and sunglasses).
The HGU-68/P Tactical Aircrew (TACAIR) helmet with the MBU-20/P oxygen mask, note the print/markings at the back of the helmet. Also includes a cloth gray skull-cap.
Overall rating is 4.5 out of 5. Same with the F-4 Phantom pilot figure fragile small parts but everything else is great! Wish they made the carabiners/hook clamps in metal instead of plastic. Amazing details and accurate reproduction of a fighter pilot.
Hot Toys also made at least 4 pilot figures using the old TrueType body (F22 Raptor, F14 Tomcat, F18 Hornet, F16 Falcon) and reintroduced the F18 (this one) and F14 Pilots using the newer TrueType-38 body, new headsculpts, and upgraded hands and aviator boots. The F4 phantom Pilot is a new released. I’m not sure about the old released Blue Angels Pilot if it was a Hot Toys product.

These Hot Toys pilots are sold out already but you can try your luck at ebay or online toy stores. Mostly i got my figures thru ebay.
How’s it going buddy! nice review on the pilot. I am putting one up for sale on my board. I saw your site and browsed a bit. good stuff!
Thanks, goodluck on your sale, I think this is one of those Hot Toys figure that are hard to find nowadays.
I realize this may be getting picky, but that’s a Lieutenant, not a Captain.
Yep the rank insignia on his shoulders and cap is a Captain. It’s a 2-bars if you view the photos zoomed in. Or did I missed anything on his uniform saying his a Lieutenant?
I’m very interesting with this product.
estoy interesado en este producto me gustaria saber el costo como se realizaria la transaccion gracias
