Mattle BSG Question...

[YANOULI]

That Galactica is sweet.

The story I've heard is that Richard Hatch wouldn't allow a figure.

That doesn't make sense because He he obviously didn't have any problem with the cut out figure on the Trix cereal box or all the other BSG mercandise at the time that had his likeness.

I've always been partial to Don's thoughts on it though, it's just another guy in the same uniform as Starbuck.

That makes more sense. They probably just thought alien figures would sell better than Starbuck with black hair.

Battlestar Data: The Mattel "GALACTICA" Found!

Hmmmm....

Good question. They might have produced the figures off of preliminary sketches with minimal notes and didn't know who was important and who wasn't. They may have picked characters that were more playable; Apollo and Boomer would be more guys in tan, like Starbuck.... so they may have passed. The Ovion is unique, and cool; so even though they were only in the pilot, they made for neat toys.

Something I've always wondered...with the Mattle BSG line, why no Applo, or boomer even? With figures like Ovion & Borat, I was always left scratching my head.
