061 Ace

Ace is the TDD fighter pilot.

His G1 figure has the likeness of the Red Baron or some other WWI pilot.  The Red Baron (Manfred von Richthofen) was a celebrated German pilot who had the most kills of any WWI pilot.  He killed 80 people and was an "ace-of-aces."

An "ace" is an actual military term defined as someone who has shot down five or more enemy aircraft.

Ace has a G2 figure which is the G1 mold, now with static arms.  They are outstretched as if he is pretending to fly.  You know, like you did when you were a kid.

He was redesigned for G3, now appearing as a modern fighter pilot with helmet and G-suit.  In this regard, you may consider him a Top Gun parody if you want. This famous Tom Cruise movie is about the drama of becoming a fighter pilot in 1986.
