BBP BSG second wave?

[jonwes]

The lack of any of their other protos is worrying, but maybe it was just a space issue? Still, not seeing all those other wonderful BSG characters does make me sad after what happened to the Who line. The only two retro figure lines I really collected were Who and BSG.

However, I shall not cry over the spilled milk before it's spilled, and hope for the best.

I would doubt it since the release date is in August and they sold out. Several Japanese toy stores were preordering those figures (and others) and had a 4th quarter blowout sale. However none of these listings were meant to be sold to Westerners and none were listed in English to begin with. I have personally pre paid for items THREE to FOUR YEARS in advance for Japanese stuff, so this sorta thing is not unusual. That being said a ton of stores were preordering BBP stuff. The only thing unusual was that if you search on NON ENGLISH sites, they preordered different items than in the USA. I still have hope they will get made, but I dunno how this all works behind the scenes.

OK... hold up. Are these actually being produced and sold overseas and not here ?

[GUYx1]

I know she's not much to look at, but If I have to get a few wonky headed figures to get my aliens so be it.
I was this close to dropping $$$ on the BSG alien preorders via the Japanese websites,
but I held back. Tell me how much $$$ I need to contribute to keep it going...

You mean the old days when all toys were mass produced retail items aimed at kids, and there wasn't a niche specialty market for adult collectors?

Next time Pre-Order walks across my lawn, I'm going to spray 'em with mah Hose!

Point, samurainoir.

I miss the old days...you know, when companies actually MADE the toys first and THEN sold them.
I'm getting tired of the pre-order game.

It's tough to see Maren Jensen in there, through the helmet, isn't it?

Can't say I'm impressed with this. The face looks very generic.
But if it's an early prototype, I'll reserve judgement for later.

[GUYx1]

An early prototype. But the costume will be of good use. I still love BSG and I am still spending a decent amount rebuilding a cylon army.
I'll buy a few of her no matter what just for the outfits. Still, this figure isn't a faction as cool as the BSG prototypes that BBP is no longer mentioning.
If I have to build this stuff from scratch that is what I will do. But I still hold out hope that something will come of those far superior alien prototypes.

I mean that Lunch Box set came from outta nowhere. Maybe the rest of the BSG figures could actually happen in the end.

I think this might be our first look at Athena's real head

Link doesn't work for me, I get "404 Error Sorry but we couldn't find what you were looking for.".

[Mego-Amigo]

Glad to see Athena has rooted hair. I notice though that a lot of the Galactica prototypes shown last year are no longer being shown.

[Gorn Captain]

This line is so slow, I've lost interest.
If they ever get to the Ovion, I might buy one.

I put my pre-orders for Athena and Lucifer in and strongly suggest anyone who wants these to do the same.

It's all gonna come down to pre-order numbers unfortunately if we ever wanna see the likes of Boomer, Baltar, Tigh, Ovion, Imperious Leader and Sheba!
