Re: Why are most 1/72 pilots so bad?

I'm curious to know what you guys think about why, oh why do the manufacturers of our beloved diecast aircraft, always seem to make the pilots an afterthought or just don't do them? Save for Matchbox, most of them are pitiful excuses for miniature humans. Gemini Aces, no neck, blobby things, Witty's jet pilots, as Louie once put it, "look like aliens"....and their WWII line of pilots are washed out weirdos....then of course Dragon, with their pilotless drone approach (except for their weapons set with 2 pilots and some CH exclusives)....what gives?

Because they are really "illegal aliens"!
