BSG MiniMates

The companies of Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys are partnering to create the Battlestar Galactica MiniMates, coming sometime in the Fall, 2006.

MiniMates are small articulated action figures that are similar to the popular Lego toys. The BSG MiniMates will include major characters from the Re-imagined Series and Original Series.

The BSG Minimates will use the current style of Minimate body and therefore be around 2" in size.

There have been several delays and changes to the release schedule for the BSG Minimates, at present the only confirmed line up is the wave of Classic and Modern Cylons.

Several waves of various characters have been announced and subsequently debunked.

Cylons Invade Diamond Select Toys

Just in time for the hugely-anticipated third season comes the first Battlestar Galactica Minimate release – featuring none other than those villainous toasters, the Cylons! With both modern and classic versions of the dreaded Cylon Centurions, each assortment will be limited to only 500 cases!

Each Minimate will be individually boxed with a suggested retail of $5.00 each. With the modern assortments, be on the lookout for the variant gun-hand and battle-damaged Centurions as well as the limited chrome and bloody Centurions! In the classic Battlestar Galactica cases, watch out for the gold Command Centurion as well as the chrome and battle-damaged variants. Designed and sculpted by Art Asylum, each Cylon Minimate features an intricately designed body created using the series’ own digital production files!

Be prepared to hunt down each and every Cylon once their Fall 2006 release date arrives, because you can bet they’ll be gunning for you...
