Bif Bang Pow and EMCE are making Battlestar Galactica classic megos

[Chris]

Majestic forgot the Cylon skirt. Hopefully, BBP will include that. The Majestic Cylon was one of the worst put together figures I ever bought. The sword didn't fit in the hand and the square pieces on the belt fell right off. I'm pretty sure there was an issue with the figure holding the rifle too.

these are 8 inch versions with a certain price point and based on their previous lines, i dont think they'll be too much details.

To be honest, I think I would like it that way. In my head less detail sounds more Mego-y.

I just hope BBP does a good job on Lt Starbuck!

[JediJaida]

Yeah! Along with Apollo, Athena, Boomer, Baltar, Adama, Tigh, Rigel, Omega, Ortega (my only chance to get Frank Ashmore in 8 inches!), Patrick McNee as Iblis (like I'm the only one looking forward to that!), one of the Beings of Light from the War of the Gods episode.

Heck, can we get an Avengers line? Steed, Mrs. Peel, Purdey, etc.?

[thunderbolt]

^^ Would love the Avengers, or a 60's spy line with them, UNCLE, Derek Flint, The Prisoner

Although I get what you mean, trouble with that is, once you get past the few hundred mego-heads who buy them, nobody else will want them. In todays toy/collector world, detail and articulation are everything.

[Mego-Amigo]

Even Mego got more detailed with some of thier later lines.

[JediJaida]

I say we all get on the ball and start letting comic shops, etc. know about this line so that they'll start carrying it!

Uh....will these figures have any playability, or are they simply intended to be collectibles?

And something else just hit me. A lot of kids today (meaning over 95%) don't have any idea as to Classic BSG, or what it was about. We need to rectify that.

For those of us that were major fans of the show, either break out the DVD's or have the kids tune into Netflix or TV.com for the episodes.

Get these kids turned to Classic BSG! Help create a major sales base! This line must succeed!

That is not a request people!

This is a COMMAND!

(just kidding.)

I was thinking the same thing, we all had visions that the retro superheros would be bought by kids, who would discover the mego format, and fall in love with them. I think all the new stuff, because it really wont be distributed in major stores plus the lines are completely obscure to them, well maybe"next generation", is really for the collector market, especially when U start numbering the figures, like BBP have with the TZ. Im not complaining, but this format is definately for the collector, and not aimed at the kid down the street.BBP is the major player in town, with the ammount of licences, and figures they are knocking out at this precise moment, and they are going for the collector.
