Ral Partha X-Wing Pilot Figure
This is one of the stranger conceptual "Ral Partha" Micro figures I've seen. It seems to represent an X-Wing pilot, and Kenner did release a Micro Collection X-Wing that came with a pilot figure. But this figure doesn't look a ton like the released version. Specifically, it is in a sitting rather than hunched-over pose, and the back has been flattened out and indented, presumably to allow it to sit comfortably in the vehicle's chair. In this respect, it resembles the plastic pilot figure that came inserted in the die-cast X-Wing, a toy first released in the late '70s. If it is indeed, as we suspect, a Partha X-Wing pilot, then it would be one of the few such figures to come from neither the Hoth nor the Dagobah Micro environments.
