Action figures of characters from the Reimagined and 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 Reimagined Series.


Note on Similar Products

Action figures are distinguished from similar toys primarily by their scale, and by their level of articulation. Similar products sometimes imprecisely referred to as action figures, but considered separate items by Universal Studios Consumer Products Group, include:

  • 12" dolls: A license to produce 12" dolls is currently held by Majestic Studios.
  • MiniMates are currently produced as a joint effort between Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys.
  • Statues: A license to produce statues similar in appearance and scale to that of action figures is currently held by Hasbro, which released a modern Cylon Centurion in early 2007 as part of their Titanium series.

Each of the above items has their own wiki entry.
