'''Majestic Studios''' was the product release division of '''Boom Ltd.'''<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.majesticstudiosinc.com/about.html|title=Majestic Studios Inc. - About Us|date=05 December 2004|accessdate=25 August 2019}}</ref>, a licensee that created collectible 1/6th scale collectible figures from both the [[Original Series]] and [[Re-imagined Series]] during 2005 and 2006. The company no longer exists as of 2007, and its founder Rick Phares went on to create the short-lived Spectre Toys in 2010.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.collectiondx.com/manufacturer/majestic_studios|title=CollectionDX.com: Majestic Studios|accessdate=25 August 2019}}</ref>

In 2008, [[Amok Time]] attempted to continue the mantle established by Majestic Studios with prototyping the Original Series line, featuring [[Athena (Amok Time)|Athena]], [[Boomer (Amok Time)|Lieutenant Boomer]], [[Cain (Amok Time)|Commander Cain]], [[Tigh (Amok Time)|Colonel Tigh]] and [[Lucifer (Amok Time)|Lucifer]]<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=141&show_article=4&nl=1|title=Figures.com: TF08: It's About AMOK TIME|date=26 February 2008|accessdate=01 September 2019|last=Saylor|first=Jeff|format=|language=}}</ref>, but ultimately failed to deliver full production runs on these pieces. 

Figures from their collection averaged about 12 inches in height<ref name="size">Human characters approximately 12 inches, Cylons approximately 13.5 inches.</ref>, and often contained display stands and related accessories to the character.

== Original Series Offerings ==

One of the most comprehensive Original Series-centric releases in the 1/6 scale, Majestic Studios released figures for the following characters in 2005:

* [[Adama (Majestic Studios)|Commander Adama]]
* [[Apollo (Majestic Studios)|Captain Apollo]]
* [[Starbuck (Majestic Studios)|Lieutenant Starbuck]]
* [[Centurion (Majestic Studios)|Cylon Centurion (Silver)]]
* [[Centurion (Majestic Studios)|Cylon Centurion (Gold)]]

In addition, a [[Apollo and Starbuck (Majestic Studios)|special 500-unit two-pack]] consisting of Apollo and Starbuck from "[[Experiment in Terra]]" were produced and released exclusively for Time and Space Toys. As one would expect, the figures' clothing, accessories and even display stand were white.

[[Amok Time]] attempted to re-release former Majestic Studio releases with new sculpts for Apollo, Starbuck, Adama and the Cylon Centurions<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/my-thoughts-on-toy-fair-part-1-amok-time/|title=Action Figure Insider: My Thoughts on Toy Fair Part 1 - Amok Time|date=23 February 2008|accessdate=01 September 2019|last=Pickett|first=Daniel}}</ref>, but this did not come to fruition.

== Re-imagined Series Offerings ==

The [[Cylon Centurion (RDM)|Cylon Centurion]] from the new series features interchangeable forearms that can be switched from bladed fingers to turret guns, and a lenticular eyepiece to simulate red eye movement. In a press release, CEO Rick Phares noted, “The Cylon will be the most accurate figure we have released to date because we’re working directly from the original computer CGI files of its design from [[Zoic|ZOIC]], the special effects company responsible for bringing the Cylon to life on the screen.” 

“This figure is technically the most difficult project I’ve had the pleasure to work on,” says Phares. “It is made up of hand poured poly-resin, hard plastic ABS and soft plastic PVC. While we did have the benefit of the exact computer design from special effect company ZOIC, every piece of our figure needed to be engineered from scratch since there are obviously no user’s guide or manual for Cylon movement.”<ref name="PharesQuote">Rick Phares quote courtesy of [http://www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=19510 Action-Figure.com].</ref>

A prototype of [[Lee Adama|Lee Adama]] was shown dressed in his flight suit with full flight gear including helmet and weapon, and two interchangeable sets of hands so that you can switch from flight gloves on to gloves off.

The [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurion]] was released in both a standard and a "Battle Damaged" exclusive edition in mid-2006. The [[Lee Adama|Lee Adama]] figure expected in late 2006 was rescheduled for January 2007 and then canceled.<ref name="cancel">Cancellation notice appeared in the March 2007 Cancellation List compiled by Diamond Previews.</ref>
