Poor Col Takbright.  First he gets mistaken for Wedge despite the fact that he doesn’t look like Wedge and never presented himself as Wedge.  Next he gets humiliated by some rube at the briefing.  Then he doesn’t even get assigned an X-Wing for the attack on the Death Star.  Instead of the actual pilots who have been with the Rebel Alliance for some time, two of the scarce fighters are assigned to a weirdo with a mustache who showed up 3 days ago, and a farmboy who’s piloting experience is limited to animal cruelty.  Such is the sad life of Col Takbright.  He’s not even a Colonel.  That’s just his name.

In action figure terms, Takbright’s main appeal seems to be novelty.  Yes, he has a rather famous line, but his quick disappearance from the film and non-participant status in the battle knocks him down a peg or two.  But he’s “Fake Wedge”!  He can join the pantheon of silly Star Wars action figures that includes Willrow Hood, Cliff from Cheers, and 3 versions of the Rancor Keeper.  On the other hand, pilot tooling exists, so it wouldn’t be a huge investment.  I’m sure someone could come up with a helmet design for him.  I think there are enough throw-away pilots left to do that a multi-pack makes sense, and I could see Tak making that cut, but others are more deserving.
