BSG Morning After Review

[Fuzzysnail]

I would luv to see pics of the paint touch up.

Got mine and thought they looked great. Then I opened them up to find Starbuk had two left arms....one of Apollo's hands is falling off and Cylon can't lift his arms. That sucks. It's not as bad as CTVT but I had the same feeling I had when I first bought their Happy Days line.

I was so excited for these and having two of my four figures have production issues didn't give me a warm feeling. Hopefully SMDM is made with a little more care.

That's too bad. Entertainment Earth replaced my Rudy Wells that had two right legs. Did you buy your figures from them?

I switched my Cylon body with a ZICA body. The arms can now bend at the elbee-bone. I also went with black hands so the figure can grip the sword and gun better. It isn't an easy swap because the black jumpsuit is glued to the body.

I'm not too put off by the Cylon's issues. The 'beer gut' so many of the Cylons on the show had seems rather faithfully reproduced here. I doubt any of the actors in the Cylon suits could sit down at all well, either! ;-) I'll be in for a Cylon. Personally, I'm not too interested in any of the rest of the gang other than Lucifer anyway...

i just got my capt apollo & cylons to go with adama & starbuck figures ,What can i say their awsome ,of course the
warriors-heros heads are a bit to large ,but their really well done ,the cylons are just to cool,and are the best of
the set,great job bif bang pow,cant wait to see future figures,i hope you do a Sheba (i like Ann Lochart).

Received my Apollo and Cylon figures yesterday. I have no problem with Apollo but I am a bit disappointed with the arm articulation on the Cylon.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

My Apollo and Cylon and Tote came in while we were away on vacation. I was glad to see them come in. Apollo's head is a bit larger than original Megos, but it does't look that bad and the helmet fits very well. The Cylons look great. Hope this does well that there will at least be a wave two.

Mea Culpa time.

So....I made some pretty frank comments earlier in this thread, and I regret some of them. I got caught up in my own little riptide of nerd rage.
My comment that there was no point in me looking forward to more BSG figures if the first ones were not good enough was thoughtless and unnecessary. I've apologized to the guys at BifBangPow in private and I say it again here.

Enough has been said about the figures' flaws. I see them and they do bother me....but not as much as I thought they would. I was really encouraged to hear positive comments from other people here and it made me lighten up on them. It's good to be reminded that getting brand new Mego-like toys is always a good thing.

It's also good to remeber that I might change my mind after I get them and play with them and get to know them.

Today I lined them up in my Dida transporter room for that amazing sci-fi Mego group shot of my dreams. Mego Kirk, BSG, Dr Who, Flash Gordon, the EMCE Khan, Gorn, Sulu and Checkov...

Holy cow, we are living in an age of miracles. Unbelievable. Thank you, BBP and thank you, Doctor of all things Mego. They aren't always perfect, but there sure are a lot of cool toys in my house.

[Werewolf]

That's a really cool group pic.

[EMCE Hammer]

Space Ace - clever!

Well I just got my trio of Cylons in the other day, and I really was in awe how much detail and work went into these. Definately happy with them. Ok they have thier flaws, but I really dont care, its just a very cool looking toy!!!

Thx, Scott! Glad you wrote that. I haven't taken my Starbuck and Apollo out of the package but they look fine to me. Luv Adama too. I really like the Gold and Battle damaged Cylons.

Between you, me and the MegoMuseum I can't write enough good things about Jason Labs and Lenzi. I have so much respect for those two. Plus, Lenzi's one of the greatest people on this planet.

BTW, great photo.

Love the group shot! Been meaning to do that now that SMDM is in. We're almost at the point that we can recreate this shot with Mego like product.

Who's the girl in front of the TARDIS with the blue hot pants ?
