Factory Entertainment has launched its 3.75 inch Battlestar Galactica Action Figure Line, bringing the iconic heroes, villains, and vehicles of the classic 1970s television series to fans and collectors. After previewing at San Diego Comic-Con last July, the line is now available to pre-order at Factoryent.com and through the company’s retail partners.
The debut wave features five figures and a Colonial Viper Electronic Vehicle, each designed to capture the look, feel, and spirit of the original series while benefiting from modern sculpting and articulation. Every figure is produced in 3.75 inch scale, including thirteen points of articulation, and comes packaged in retro-inspired window boxes.
The first five 3.75 inch figures include:
- Lieutenant Starbuck with removable pilot helmet, holster, blaster and leg computer
- Captain Apollo with removable pilot helmet, holster, blaster and leg computer
- Cylon Centurion (Silver) with sword, scabbard, rifle and blaster
- Cylon Command Centurion (Gold) with sword, scabbard, rifle and blaster
- Lieutenant Boomer with removable pilot helmet, holster, blaster and leg computer
The figure assortment available at retail includes Lieutenant Starbuck, Captain Apollo and the two Cylons. A Factory Entertainment exclusive five figure set, including Lieutenant Boomer is available through Factory Entertainment’s website.
Complementing the figures is the Colonial Viper Electronic Vehicle, the legendary starfighter of the Ragtag Colonial Fleet. The Viper features a detailed opening cockpit, removable landing gear, and an included display stand. Remote control-operated light-and-sound effects bring the vehicle to life with a light-up cockpit, turbo boost, launch sequence and laser cannon. The version available at retail includes a Lieutenant Boomer action figure. A version of the Viper without a figure is available directly from Factory Entertainment’s website.
The 1978 television series Battlestar Galactica begins after the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind. The last major fighter carrier leads a makeshift fugitive fleet on a desperate search for the legendary planet Earth. Created by Glen A. Larson, Battlestar Galactica stars Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Lorne Greene, Herbert Jefferson Jr., John Colicos, Maren Jensen, Noah Hathaway, Laurette Spang, Tony Swartz, Terry Carter, David Greenan, Patrick Macnee, Anne Lockhart, Sarah Rush, Ed Begley Jr., John Dullaghan, George Murdock, Bruce Wright, Larry Manetti, Janet Julian and Leann Hunley.
