BBP BSG second wave?

[skullface]

I was going to stay out of this but I cant. Pre-order BS,bad sculpts,bad fitting costumes, and endless delays, killed what should have been a great money maker. Make the toy and we will buy it. Dont tell me pre-order a year ahead of time so you know if you will sell the toy before hand. I have better things to do. I would have bought a lot of toys from BBP if I knew they had the follow thru...I cant see this business being around much longer. We have lost faith,seen to many good lines die.
Sorry BBP but FTC are going to be getting my money,even if I dont need half of them I will buy them anyway.

I'm Up for some custom BSG heads.
Just wondering if NBC cancelled the deal with BBP or the contract is ending and they don't want to renew?
Also if you only have a contract for 2 years you really need to push out characters faster before your contract expires.
That goes for BSG and SMDM and Doctor Who. A shame we only got what we did when the fans would have kept these lines going.

Nice job on BSG and SM$M lines, BBP! Sad to hear they won't continue. I wanted Maskatron and eventually Bionic Woman!

I'd like to 2nd that. Thank you BBP for releasing figures from two of my favorite series!!

I've bought all from both lines, and have the final figures on pre-order.

I would love to see more, but thankful for what we did get. Looking forward to future purchases from the company.

Well, that doesn't leave much options. BSG was the line I dreamt of having as Mego 8" figures ever since 1979. I've been working on customs before the BBP line was released.
I do have 8" custom head sculpts for Tigh, Boomer and Baltar (as well as Apollo, Starbuck und Adama, but here we have the BBP heads now) plus 12" scale heads for Casseopeia, Serana. Somebody from the forum also sculpted a fantastic Commander Caine head, but never actually sent it.
Maye it is time to revive this BSG custom project.

I'm in for custom BSG heads. Shoot pics and prices to me please.

CTVT now has some nice heads, costumes & accessories. But those skinny blow molded bodies make me almost long for the formerly bad ctvt bodies.

BBP has solid nice bodies, but the overproduced number of plump cylons really killed the line. They will probably never sell out.
But if people start posting pix of their modified figures, maybe it would draw more interest again.

Galactica is a pretty limited market to begin with and I fear most people lost interest quite some time ago.
Even if the CTVT bodies are not the best, bodies can be swapped out and
even unopened CTVT product looks impressive on the shelf. Sometimes that is all that is needed.
How many of us are even into Mego Galactica to begin with?

Yes if they were more like FTC with the retro and 1966 Batman line in terms of quality.

I just spit my coffee all over my I-pad when I read this line...lol
It's just not often you hear FTC quality be praised over anyone else let alone BBP's.
Unfortunately in this case it's true.
I bought multiples of the big headed warriors so I will make a few of my own customs.
I do wish the line continued but am very thankful for the figures we got.

Aside from my reworked Cylon & Muffet, Out of repect for people I am working with. I am not even taking pics of customs until after the BBP license is up.
Hopefully then, people will tart returning PMs.
For the record, the head thing appears to be all talk. I am hearing crickets. Hard to drum up any interest.
Doesn't matter. In the end I will get a set of BSG figures made one way or the other.

Athena?

Are we going to see Serena or not?

[GUYx1]

I sure know I'm interested. PM with paypal info.
All you had to say was CUSTOM HEAD and I'm in...

[Chris]

Maye it is time to revive this BSG custom project.

Sure. Post or pm a photo of the Baltar head if you are interested in selling one.

Yeah, that's actually pretty surprising. Seems like it's a property that has never gotten its fair shake in action figures.

[greenguy]

Additionally, it is our understanding that the view of NBC is to not renew this particular license for BSG at this time - to anyone. This is our understanding but this may or may not reflect the official view of NBC/Universal.

That's too bad, but not surprising.

Universal has always treated Galactica like a red headed stepchild.

[GUYx1]

Well great to have that clarified
Thank you BBP for your great investment and participation in this toyline.
Looks like the answer is using the existing stock to make our own characters.

As I have said before when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Right now, I'm just buying up existing stock and seeing what I can do.
