Diaclone Pilot replacements

I got into G1 toys recently, and those open cockpits and random seats have me really itching to find a pilot figure and play with them the way they were originally meant. Of course, vintage pilot figures are rare and cost a fortune, so I was wondering if anyone found cheaper replacements/equivalents to recreate the experience.

Few years ago, I saw some ebay repros of those figs.

Star War Action Fleet!! Some of them have wonky arms and won't fit, but I imagine most pilots will. And yes, the cockpits do close, however it's hard to take a pic that will show up that way.

I was playing around with my G1 Whirl recently (mainly to compare to the Gen version) and found my old Diakron pilot in there! I thought he was lost forever!
His magnet feet are long gone, unfortunately...

That is Brea Tonnnika from the Aliens and Creature's Battle Pack:

And does Thrust's cockpit close? That's the mold I had trouble working with Action
Fleet figures. It doesn't have a lot of wiggle room.

Isn't this an awesome photo (which answers your question)?
