The '''Lieutenant {{TOS|Athena}} Limited Edition Collectible Figure''' is an 1/6-scale mixed-media figure, and is part of the [[Amok Time]] release circa 2008, following their take-over of the [[Original Series]] license from [[Majestic Studios]] after its dissolution in 2007.
The '''Commander [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] Limited Edition Collectible Figure''' is an 1/6-scale mixed-media figure, and is part of the Series Two release from [[Majestic Studios]] circa 2005.


As is typical of 1/6-scale mixed-media figurines, this piece features multiple points of articulation (rotating head, arms, legs), is clothed using materials that replicate the look of the costume worn by the character, and includes certain accouterments.

To aid in the display of the figurine, the piece comes with a two-piece display stand consisting of a display base with the show's logo and the support arm that cradles the figure around its torso.

The figurine was officially cancelled in 2010, when Amok Time's license for the Original Series 1/6 scale line expired.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30435|title=Sideshow Collectors Therad: AMOK TIME BSG UPDATE|date=26 February 2008|accessdate=02 September 2019|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>

The figure was billed as featuring "classic BSG accessories" and display stand, and accessories were not itemized in sales descriptions from the Amok Time's online listing circa 3 March 2008.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.amoktime.com/detail.asp?product_id=at02120&subcat=733|title="Athena Collectors Action Figure" listing at AmokTime.com|date=03 March 2008|accessdate=03 September 2019}}</ref>
The figure includes one accessory in the form of a hand-held computer, which is also included in the [[Apollo (Majestic Studios)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (Majestic Studios)|Starbuck]] figures.

The ensemble worn by Athena are her [[Warrior]]'s uniform (jacket, tunic, pant), plus weapons belt (missing in photos is her [[laser pistol]]), and brown knee high motorcycle boots. As to be expected, Athena features her collar pins.

== Face Sculpt ==
A point of comparison to [[Majestic Studios]]' figures, Amok Time's prototypes featured greater accuracy on their likeness to the character whom portrayed them.
Head sculpts for the prototypes were art directed by Amok Time's [[Charles Eugeni]] and [[Paul Lazo]], and executed by [[Joy and Tom Studios]].
