Falcon Piloto is one of the rarest brazilian figures and I was missing him in my Comandos em Ação collection.
He was sold only with the Joe glider and Estrela used the same mold of the straight arm Zap. Latter Estrela made another exclusive figure called Granadeiro with the same mold of the Tan Grunt but he was avaiable on an exclusive card and with the RockNRoll weapon.

I also got two exclusive Estrela figures...Antena and Comando Avançado...I`ve got them for a friend and I think he`ll like them...they are super mint and complete. ( The brazilian Rampage/Heavy Metal comes without mic and has a darker green)

Hi, great looking figures..apart from the Estrela name on the back, do the figures have any markings on the inside of the thighs..like the Hasbro figures do?

Yeap...they all have HASBRO and the Year inside one of the legs...just like the hasbro ones.

I`ve got them for a good price ( in my opinion)...The Falcon Piloto was the most expansive one..130 Reais + 20 Reais for the shipping...150 reais is something around 75 USD...the Last falcon piloto I saw on ebay went over 200 usd.

The other two figures costed 100 Reais each...100 USD for bouth...not bad at all.

The pastic is not as good as the Hasbro or Palitoy used, but better than Plastirama`s(Argentina) and Funskool`s (India/Russia/Egypt)...I never had a Toltoys or Takara figure opened but I think the plastic they used there are better too.

Estrela used a harder plastic so It`s easyer to break.

The coolest thing about the latinamerican joes (Rubiplas, Auriken, Plastirama and Estrela) is the fact that even the regular figures..I mean..even the figures that they used the same mold and collors look different from the Hasbro ones...most of the time they used a darker paint.
