BBP BSG second wave?

[BifBangPow! JLabs]

Are the prototypes of the unproduced figures for sale by any chance?

We do not sell prototypes. 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.

I tried emailing them on that topic. No reply.

Could someone like Doc take the unproduced prototype heads and offer them under different names?

[Harbingerboy]

I wonder if Zica or FTC would be interested in acquiring the BSG license and also producing BBP's remaining BSG 8" prototypes similar to what BBP planned to do with Spectre's Dark Shadows line, perhaps with variants of Apollo & Starbuck (warrior uniforms w/capes, slightly smaller heads) or Athena (blue core command uniform) to beef up their solicits? I remember Amok Time continuing Majestic's 12" Battlestar Galactica figures not that long ago. It could make for one beautiful, cohesive line.

Would this even be possible??

I enjoyed the BSG figures and appreciated them for what they are. They were not great, with the big heads same as SMDM, but still great to have. Yes if they were more like FTC with the retro and 1966 Batman line in terms of quality, perhaps they would have sold better. But it is what it is. But with BBT and Mike Tyson? You kidding?

And I was also looking forward to the 3 3/4" line.

Pity we're not getting any 3.75" BSG figures

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

After missing out on Charlie and Desmond for the Lost line, I decided to wait for the BSG line to unfold. I would have been in if Boomer got made. But no Boomer and the big heads really dampened my enthusiasm for the line.

Thanks for the update, Jlabs...Athena's looking great in the new solicit, the adjusted eye color helped a lot. I'm sure final production will be even nicer once the hair is set (lookin a bit too dark there, but Im glad to see a side-part). Can't wait to get my pre-orders for these in the mail, knowing they will indeed arrive makes the end of BBP's BSG 8" line at this point a bit easier to bear.

I will say it is truly a shame we did not see Baltar, Boomer and Tigh produced. Though Ovion and IL looked to be some of the best figures yet, the others' inclusion would've made what has been a great line THE undisputed greatest BSG line ever produced...We were sooo close! If only BBP could toss Baltar and Boomer in a tin tote for SDCC as a parting 'gift' to the fans before the license is up.

I'm happy to hear the remaining Venture Bros figures will be made which reminds me to pre-order some of them. I loved the line and the characters SCREAMED Mego but I dont know how well the show is known in order to have a line of collectable toys. There was enough colorful characters to make quite a few figures. Shame it is coming to an end. Thanks for the stuff you folks put out!

[Mego Magyar]

I just think it's a shame that Baltar isn't going to get made. I'd have preferred him to the Tucana singer.

Don't mean to get off topic but I second what MegoJim said. I would love to see a Dungeons & Dragons line from the cartoon series as well. Those colorful costumes would make for some great Mego-like figures. Nothing has really ever been done in this scale or any other for that matter. There was like a board game and a few PVC figures done years ago but that's about it. Now about the BSG line. I too wanted this line to succeed and bought a few cylons. I didn't buy the others mainly because the oversized head issue was a deal breaker for me. I need those proportions to be right. I'm still thinking about going back and purchasing the 3-figure tote though. I just like the look of those figures. My 2 pennies for what its worth.

[Gorn Captain]

Well, we already got seven (counting the three in the tin tote) with two more to come.
I would like to pick up a Daggit, ditch that body and use the "costume" to make one more "chimp/dog like".

I really wanted the Daggit, but couldn't get over the way the figure articulates...

[Byrnes]

Well crap, so close. I tried to support this line, I bought the main figures and I don't even collect 8" that much but it was BSG. I am disappointed in incomplete lines and without Baltar this set has to go. I hate to be like that but I can't stand to look at the core group of a line without certain figures and Baltar was the one I was waiting on. I still get upset looking at only 2 Buck Rogers figures, but those are so sweet I can't let go of them. I can still appreciate the effort and figures released it's just my crazy collecting and displays habits that get me on these lines. I need the core group of figures for it to be a great line. Thanks anyway.
