Twentythreeforlife: /* Re-imagined Series */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]
*[[Ovion]]
*[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]]
*[[Lucifer]]
*[[Boray]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Starbuck (TOS)| Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Stealth Centurion]] (black)
*[[Imperious Leader| Cylon Imperious Leader]]

===Joyride Studios (2005)===
Action figures and vehicles from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Joyride Studios in 2005.

*[[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]] (silver armor)
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]] (gold armor)

==Re-imagined Series==

[http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles, LLC] (DST) announced in January 2007 a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to manufacture action figures based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|reimagined]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' series.<ref name="dst1">{{cite press release

Diamond Select Toys has stated that they are trying desperately to get her figure released but it might not happen. Also, it is unlikely that the remaining half dozen 'skinjob' models will be made either.

===Series One (2007)===

The first wave of action figures on display in prototype form at the February 2007 Toy Fair trade show included: [[Number Six|Number Six]] in her red dress, [[Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]] in flight suit with helmet, gloved and ungloved sets of hands, and [[Galen Tyrol | Chief Tyrol]] in green fatigues.<ref name="ToyFair2007">Toy Fair images available at [http://74.52.193.82/events/main.php?g2_itemId=1091&g2_page=4 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Also announced (but not shown) were a second version of the Chief (possibly in his orange jumpsuit) and [[Brendan Costanza | Hotdog]] (expected to reuse the flight suit body created for the Lee Adama figure, but with Hotdog's head). Advance sketches shown in January 2007 at the UK ToyFair indicated that an alternate flight suit body was considered that would have featured an unzipped collar.<ref name="UKToyFair2007">2007 UK ToyFair images available at [http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=57021 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Pending licensor approval, the first wave of figures will be in stores summer 2007 (and the Chief Tyrol variant will be available online exclusively from DST).

===Series Two (2008)===

The second wave was initially teased as being "a Cylon, a drug runner, a Cylon-lover, a prophet, a wife, a witch, and a wingman", the latter three being retailer exclusives. Diamond subsequently identified the initial four characters in wave two as follows:<ref name="dst2">{{cite press release

The third wave features characters from the special episode [[Razor]]. Their packaging is colored blue in contrast to the standard red that has been used for all other releases up to this point. The word "Razor" is printed in red below the 'Battlestar Galactica' title located at the top of the package.

The fourth wave was to feature various military and political leaders. Originally, the characters listed for preordering included [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] (Galactica Duty Blues), [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] (Presidential suit), and [[Lee Adama|President Adama]] (Presidential suit). [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] (Pegasus Duty Blues) was listed separately as a "Previews Exclusive" addition to this series. A mustached [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] was going to be released as a 'case topper' to promote retailers to buy in bulk (case = 6 figures/2 of each character + case topper) but was later added to the wave. In late November 2009, it was announced that [[Gaius Baltar]] would be replacing Presidents Roslin and Adama. In 2010, the mustacheless Admiral Adama was released as a "Toys R Us" exclusive. The wave was officially cancelled early in 2011.

}}</ref> Currently, (April 22nd, 2010) forty one figures have been produced and seven more are now available for pre-order. The majority of the show's main characters have been included with [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] being the most notable exception. Diamond Select Toys has stated that they are trying desperately to get her figure released but it might not happen. Also, it is unlikely that the remaining half dozen 'skinjob' models will be made either. Finally, there are no plans announced to offer [[Sherman Cottle|Doc Cottle]], [[Tom Zarek|Tom Zarek]], [[Margaret Edmondson|Racetrack]], or [[Callandra Tyrol|Cally Tyrol]].

===Series One (2007)===

The first wave of action figures on display in prototype form at the February 2007 Toy Fair trade show included: [[Number Six|Number Six]] in her red dress, [[Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]] in flight suit with helmet, gloved and ungloved sets of hands, and [[Galen Tyrol | Chief Tyrol]] in green fatigues.<ref name="ToyFair2007">Toy Fair images available at [http://74.52.193.82/events/main.php?g2_itemId=1091&g2_page=4 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Also announced (but not shown) were a second version of the Chief (possibly in his orange jumpsuit) and [[Brendan Costanza | Hotdog]] (expected to reuse the flight suit body created for the Lee Adama figure, but with Hotdog's head). Advance sketches shown in January 2007 at the UK ToyFair indicated that an alternate flight suit body was considered that would have featured an unzipped collar.<ref name="UKToyFair2007">2007 UK ToyFair images available at [http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=57021 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Pending licensor approval, the first wave of figures will be in stores summer 2007 (and the Chief Tyrol variant will be available online exclusively from DST).

===Series Two (2008)===

The fourth wave was to feature various military and political leaders. Originally, the characters listed for preordering included [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] (Galactica Duty Blues), [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] (Presidential suit), and [[Lee Adama|President Adama]] (Presidential suit). [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] (Pegasus Duty Blues) was listed separately as a "Previews Exclusive" addition to this series. A mustached [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] was going to be released as a 'case topper' to promote retailers to buy in bulk (case = 6 figures/2 of each character + case topper) but was later added to the wave. In late November 2009, it was announced that Gaius Balter would be replacing Presidents Roslin and Adama. In 2010, the mustacheless Admiral Adama was released as a "Toys R Us" exclusive. The wave was officially cancelled early in 2011.

Twentythreeforlife: /* Other Figures */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]
*[[Ovion]]
*[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]]
*[[Lucifer]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)

The fourth wave was to feature various military and political leaders. Originally, the characters listed for preordering included [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] (Galactica Duty Blues), [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] (Presidential suit), and [[Lee Adama|President Adama]] (Presidential suit). [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] (Pegasus Duty Blues) was listed separately as a "Previews Exclusive" addition to this series. A mustached [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]] was going to be released as a 'case topper' to promote retailers to buy in bulk (case = 6 figures/2 of each character + case topper) but was later added to the wave. In late November 2009, it was announced that Gaius Balter would be replacing Presidents Roslin and Adama. In 2010, the mustacheless Admiral Adama was released as a "Toys R Us" exclusive. The wave was officially cancelled early in 2011.

Twentythreeforlife: /* Re-imagined Series */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]
*[[Ovion]]
*[[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]]
*[[Lucifer]]
*[[Boray]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Starbuck (TOS)| Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Stealth Centurion]] (black)
*[[Imperious Leader| Cylon Imperious Leader]]

===Joyride Studios (2005)===
Action figures and vehicles from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Joyride Studios in 2005.

*[[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]] (silver armor)
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]] (gold armor)

==Re-imagined Series==

[http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/ Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles, LLC] (DST) announced in January 2007 a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to manufacture action figures based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|reimagined]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' series.<ref name="dst1">{{cite press release

}}</ref> Currently, (April 22nd, 2010) forty one figures have been produced and seven more are now available for pre-order. The majority of the show's main characters have been included with [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] being the most notable exception. Diamond Select Toys has stated that they are trying desperately to get her figure released but it might not happen. Also, it is unlikely that the remaining half dozen 'skinjob' models will be made either. Finally, there are no plans announced to offer [[Sherman Cottle|Doc Cottle]], [[Tom Zarek|Tom Zarek]], [[Margaret Edmondson|Racetrack]], or [[Callandra Tyrol|Cally Tyrol]].

===Series One (2007)===

The first wave of action figures on display in prototype form at the February 2007 Toy Fair trade show included: [[Number Six|Number Six]] in her red dress, [[Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]] in flight suit with helmet, gloved and ungloved sets of hands, and [[Galen Tyrol | Chief Tyrol]] in green fatigues.<ref name="ToyFair2007">Toy Fair images available at [http://74.52.193.82/events/main.php?g2_itemId=1091&g2_page=4 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Also announced (but not shown) were a second version of the Chief (possibly in his orange jumpsuit) and [[Brendan Costanza | Hotdog]] (expected to reuse the flight suit body created for the Lee Adama figure, but with Hotdog's head). Advance sketches shown in January 2007 at the UK ToyFair indicated that an alternate flight suit body was considered that would have featured an unzipped collar.<ref name="UKToyFair2007">2007 UK ToyFair images available at [http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=57021 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Pending licensor approval, the first wave of figures will be in stores summer 2007 (and the Chief Tyrol variant will be available online exclusively from DST).

Twentythreeforlife: /* Two Packs */

Action figures of characters from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined]] and [[TOS|Original]] ''Battlestar Galactica'' Series have been produced by several companies at different times. This page is an overview with an emphasis upon the action figures currently in production for the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Reimagined Series]].

==Original Series==

Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s, Trendmasters in the mid 1990s, and by Joyride Studios in 2005.
===Mattel (1978/79)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Mattel in the late 1970s. The 3 1/2 inch figures were similar in quality and scale to the then-current Star Wars figures produced by Kenner.

*[[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurian]] (sic)
*[[Imperious Leader]]
*[[Muffit|Daggit]]

====Bootlegs of Mattel Figures====
Bootleg copies of Mattel's Cylon figures have been found for sale in Mexico and on the internet. [http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Starwars&action=print&thread=5198] Appearing to be made from the same molds as the original, licensed figures, these knock-off Cylons can be found in numerous colors, and sometimes even with heads from completely different toy lines. [http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.

*[[Starbuck (TOS)| Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Centurion]] (silver)
*[[Command Centurion| Cylon Command Centurion]] (gold)
*[[Centurion (TOS)| Cylon Stealth Centurion]] (black)
*[[Imperious Leader| Cylon Imperious Leader]]

*[[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]]
*[[Starbuck (TOS)|Lt. Starbuck]]
*[[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]] (silver armor)
*[[Command Centurion|Cylon Commander]] (gold armor)

==Re-imagined Series==

Advance sketches shown in January 2007 at the UK ToyFair indicated that an alternate flight suit body was considered that would have featured an unzipped collar.<ref name="UKToyFair2007">2007 UK ToyFair images available at [http://www.action-figure.com/events/main.php?g2_itemId=57021 ActionFigure.com].</ref> Pending licensor approval, the first wave of figures will be in stores summer 2007 (and the Chief Tyrol variant will be available online exclusively from DST).

[http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2511481340092311211zaSwXZ] It is important to note that bootleg toys are often made with cheaper, sometimes even dangerous, materials than authentic licensed products, and care should be taken to differentiate whether a figure is legitimate or bootlegged.

===Trendmasters (1996/97)===
Action figures from the [[TOS|Original Series]] were produced by Trendmasters in the mid to late 1990s. These toys included figures and ships based around the Richard Hatch continuation novels. Cylon figures featured LED lights in their visors that glowed when a button was pressed on the figure's abdomen.
