The Commander Cain 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.
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.[1]
Accessories
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.[2]
Outfit
The ensemble worn by Cain are his personalized Warrior's uniform (jacket, tunic, pant), plus weapons belt with laser pistol, and brown knee high motorcycle boots. As to be expected, Cain features his ascot and brooch.
Prototype
A prototype for this figure was shown at Toy Fair in 2008, and displayed alongside some gallmonging Cylons (Commander and Centurion) and Lucifer figurines.[3][4]
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.
