One of the best deals I ever got, £17 off eBay in 2014
What a bargain! That's a super MOC.Clarkspie&chips said:

So it's now time for the B-Wing Pilot is it, Lars? OK then, if that's what you want . I must say though, that whilst Kenner were famously not exactly slaves to accuracy when it came to sculpting the likenesses, clothing / uniforms, or colour schemes of the characters they were representing in plastic, the B-Wing Pilot really does fall short! For starters, there is more than one completely different flight suit worn by the B-Wing pilots in Return of the Jedi (look at the pic at the top of this thread!), and to be honest, even the red one that is in the film (briefly!) isn't exactly a doppelganger for what Kenner gave us :lol:. Regardless, it's a solid enough figure and has a nice ship you can sit him in, so as far as that goes, it works well enough, I suppose.
As for visually different variants (my thing! :-D), there certainly are some, with completely differently sculpted boots, chest plates, belt buckles and helmets (especially at the back), plus variations in the shade of brown paint used and the application of the black paint to the top of the chin strap, which can be unpainted, partially painted or fully painted.
Anyway, here are mine:
