Do Tie Fighter Pilots Still Smell Nice?

[x-pack]

Now this might be the strangest question asked on here but i'm sure some of you will know what i mean. Does anyone remember having a Tie Fighter Pilot as a kid and the smell of them was ace, like sweets or something? I wonder why they did that?

Can someone have a sniff and see if they are still like that after all these years. I would but it means going into my loft to sniff a Tie Fighter Pilot :?

Maulter sir, we need your help :lol:

"going into my loft to sniff a Tie Fighter Pilot"

just sounds wrong.... :lol: :lol:

 

[tiefighterboy]

Mine smells like cigarette butts and old whisky.

I remember this as well - it was a sort of blackberry smell (am sure there is a thread about this somewhere) - anyway Grant should be able to answer that question as he has about 30 or 40 of them

 

[JuniorChubb]

Maybe he gets high sniffing lines of TFP's... :shock:

 

[BlueDog]

Not sure how they smell but I would imagine they'd taste like licorice.

What a funny thread guys :lol:

The other half just walked in on me sniffing a tie fighter pilot.... 'honestly, someone said he's smell like blackberry and i was just testing it out!'

in other news, just a musty odour.

I concure- I have 50 blackberry smelling TFP. Which is why AFA grading of TFP is terrible :lol:

They smell particularly nice if you sniff them from the rear end....

I have a sick mind like Todd but this question steals the ****ing biscuit....

Innuendo central :lol:

I only remember Darth Vader smell funny, maybe I should be sniffing my Tie Pilots :lol: :lol:

That's a focus: see if you can sniff every example of your figure focus

I don't know if there is any truth to this but it was said many years ago that while Kenner were manufacturing Strawberry Shortcake dolls (which were made with scented plastic) that either:

-the same plastic was used with the TIE pilots
-the same factory was used and the SW figures retained some of that smell
-the TIE Pilot smelled so toxic that it had to be doused in sweet smells to combat the odour

Take your pick

Ahh that smell brings back memories!
I only have one TFP and he doesn't have the smell I remember.

 

[Jedi534]

Awww, no one remembered my PIE Fighter Pilot? 8)

Lol :lol: nice biscuit theme TFP


I like the Strawberry Shortcake and possible toxicity theories. Maybe that's why the horribillus Strawberry Shortcake was branded and smelled of Strawberries! Those evil corporations will stop at nothing to make a fast buck!

I still haven't had a sniff at my TFP. I would only be disappointed if the smell had worn off. If you have a MIB TFP just think of that 1980's air trapped in there smelling of ..um ..whatever it is :?

Not sure how they smell but I would imagine they'd taste like licorice.

If you ate a star Wars character, would it be Chewie? :lol: :lol:

 

[Jedi_june]

Looks like I need to get myself a minty TFP :lol: and smell it? Wait what :?

:lol:
