| | |
| There have been several delays and changes to the release schedule for the BSG Minimates and several waves of various characters have been announced and subsequently canceled.
| |
| | |
| ==Series One==
| |
| | |
| Series One consists of Minimates 2-Packs with Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]]/{{callsign|Starbuck}}, [[Lee Adama|Apollo]]/[[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]], [[Virtual Six]] with red dress and a Centurion. A Six with a white dress is the variant.
| |
| | |
| Series One also contains five different variations of Cylon Centurions packed in cases of 12 that are ''not'' blind boxed. In each case of 12 figures contains:
| |
| | |
| * 4x Standard Cylon
| |
| * 3x Cannon Cylon
| |
| * 2x Battle Damaged Cylon
| |
| * 2x "[[Valley of Darkness]]" Cylon (bloody Cylon)
| |
| * 1x Downloaded Cylon (chrome Cylon)
| |
| | |
| Cylons began shipping from Diamond Comics Distributors on December 21, 2006.[http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=1392&st=60]
| |
| | |
| Additionally, Art Asylum created a special "Elf" or "Santa" Cylon figure (there are two types, both with green elf hats, one based on the standard modern Cylon and one based on the Valley of Darkness Cylon) as a Christmas Giveaway.

| |
| | |
| ==Series Two Figures==
| |
| The series Two packages include Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] and [[Saul Tigh]] in uniform (which humorously adds a flask and [[ambrosia]] bottle as Saul Tigh's "accessories"), [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] and a [[Cylon Centurion]], [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica-Six]] and a variant with Baltar and [[Gina Inviere]].
| |
| | |
| ==Series Three Figures (TOS)==
| |
| | |
| Minimates were scheduled to release figures, in two box sets, based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] in January 2008. Each include five [[Colonial Warrior]] and [[Cylon Empire]] all-new Minimates each. The Colonial set includes Commander {{TOS|Adama}}, Captain {{TOS|Apollo}}, Lieutenant {{TOS|Starbuck}}, Lieutenant {{TOS|Boomer}} and [[Muffit II|Muffit the Daggit]], the first four-legged Minimate produced. The Cylon Empire set is scheduled to include {{TOS|Baltar}}, [[Lucifer]], the [[Imperious Leader]], a [[Centurion (TOS)|Centurion]] and a gold Cylon Commander.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ==Series Four Figures==
| |
| | |
| Series Four contains [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Felix Gaeta]], [[Laura Roslin]] and [[Tom Zarek]] with the [[Arrow of Apollo]]. The other set is [[Sherman Cottle]] and [[Gaius Baltar]] in a lab coat.
