His orange color scheme X-Wing soars through the air, dodging and diving and taking down the First Order with ease.<\/p>\n<p>His astromech droid, BB-8, sits dutifully in the back, aiding his pilot expertly. The hatch to the X-Wing opens, revealing Poe, and both him and BB-8 are molded into the vehicle and not removable.<\/p>\n<p>Zooming alongside him is another Resistance X-Wing, this time with a blue color scheme. Each vehicle measures 5 4\/5-inches long x 5 1\/5-inches wide x 1 1\/5-inches tall and comes armed with 4x laser cannons and 2x proton torpedo launchers to emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<p>However, speeding along ahead of them is the First Order&#8217;s TIE Fighter, designed like older Imperial models, but with a black color scheme and red running lights to be more intimidating. Like the X-Wing, a generic First Order pilot is seen through the accessible hatch and molded into the vehicle. The TIE Fighter measures 4 1\/3-inches tall x 3 1\/2-inches wide x 3 1\/2-inches long.<\/p>\n<p>Each vehicle comes with a display stand and will look great posed together.
