Some Of The Original Battlestar Galactica Crew Visit The Realm

I was perusing some online toy stores and came upon this great deal from the Amok Time site. Commander Adama, Captain Apollo, and Lieutenant Starbuck 12" figures for a price of $60 for all three. I liked what I saw and ordered them. These were made by Majestic Studios.

They each come with a communication unit and Apollo and Starbuck come with their helmets and laser pistols. They also have multiple points of articulation and can be pretty much posed anyway you would like. And Starbuck comes with an extra right arm holding his trademark cigar.

I was surprised how nice they are and how close the likeness to the actors the sculpts are, especially Adama's.

I understand that in the coming months there are going to br figures of Colonel Tigh, Lieutenant Boomer, Athena, Commander Cain and a gold Cylon and a Silver Cylon and Lucifer.

All that would be needed to make me happy are figures of Count Baltar, Serina, Medtech Cassiopeia, Lieutenant Sheba, and the Imperious Leader.

I was never too keen on Boxey or the Daggit.

Commander Adama

I said earlier this is a nice version of Lorne Green as Commander Adama. He comes with a communicator and his cape is removable. The material used in the outfit is like a velour and is very nice. The box is nicely done with some good information on it.

CAPTAIN APOLLO

Captain Apollo comes with his flight helmet, laser pistol and communicator unit. His jacket is removable and the material once again has a velour type feel to it. He does bear a resemblance to a young Richard Hatch.

LIEUTENANT STARBUCK

Starbuck comes with his flight helmet, laser pistol and communications unit just like Apollo but he has an added part, a right arm (from the elbow down) which holds his trademark cigar in its hand. I think this is a nice touch. He is also fully articulated like the other two figures in this collection. And also has a removable jacket and velour like material. He does bear a resemblance to a young Dirk Benedict but should have had a more cynical look on his face as did the character in the show.
