Cylon Day!

[RSS]

Yay, it's Cylon day, not the sexy Cylons of recent times but the old school kind (which if you find them sexy, I guess that's ok). First off is the new Cylon Trading card, (#21 for anybody counting) I never had these 12" electronic figures but they make for a more interesting card then the 3" figures, so there you go.

Even as a kid I found this figure kind of off model, it's because it's a recycled "Captain Lazer" from the 1960s "Major Matt Mason" line of toys. The Colonial Warrior from this line even has the Captain's head (and white hair presumably to make him look like Lorne Green?)

Here is the Original Commercial for these guys which is, of course, from our DVD 70s Toy Explosion Volume 2 [/plug]

I wish the new BG would've gone with the old school Cylons in stead of the human ones, they look way cooler

You and me both, Meule. I've always liked robots.

I remember as a kid liking the moving eye feature that the figure had, but even them I couldn't get past the oversized head to body ratio. As much as I still like the old series, I just have no desire for the 12" line. I did and do have all of the 3.75 inch figures except for the Ovion and the Boray.

Great Card !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a kid I always thought that cylons and Stormtroopers were related, like distant cousins who only saw each other at Christmas or something. I bet they would have caused all kinds of trouble when they got together. Super cool card, great pick.
