    That pretty much kills anything I am interested in buying from BBP in 8 inch format. I am only interested in their TZ 3.75 line after 8 inch TZ, SMDM and Galactica goes.

    That pretty much kills everything from BBP outside of Big Bang Theory and the SNL stuff then.

    You know after thinking about it I agree. They should make it official. I wager that the Six Million Dollar Man line is probably dead as well after the next wave. That does not bother me as much since Zica are doing their line, but the Battlestar line was the one I was hoping for. I even overlooked whatever flaws there were because I was just happy someone was willing to do them. I was giddy when I saw the pre-orders over at Fabgear USA with Sheba and Ovion. Now..oh well. I emailed the company again to see if there was anything else besides pre-orders we could do to save the line, but no response yet. I am wondering if there are some behind the scenes factors that are going on. If you can do small size Twilight Zone hopefully you can do Battlestar.This line screams of potential. Just for fun I sat done and figured over a hundred figures alone they could do .

Unless someone hopefully Bif Bang Pow or Zica will do the line in smaller scale.
    Well, now we know, I guess.
    It would be helpful that, if they can answer someone's question via e-mail (and give a very definite answer), to have the same info given here. That way, we could stop speculating about things that aren't even going to happen anymore.
    I remember us discussing ways of letting the Who line continue, while in fact it had been axed already.

    God this is getting depressing. It would be most appreciated if BifBangPow would state the official word on this.
    If I have to get the BSG aliens scratch built, I will have to reevaluate some of the current projects I am building and
    start work on the figures I was been planning to buy from BBP for the last year...

    I agree. The interest is there and I myself can think of at least 25-30 characters that I would buy from this series. The initial figures need to be fixed and I am sure interest and sales would increase.

    Agreed, it's not that there isn't interest it's just that people don't want or can't do the pre-order thing. I'd love it if they made everything they had planned but I can't pre-order something and not have any idea when I'll actually be charged. I can spend money when I have it but 9 months from now I might have had unexpected expenses and can't handle the extra $80.00 - 160.00

    I hope that if Biff Bang Pow can't get this line any further, that FTC can pick it up. From what I've seen of the sculpts they are doing for the Batman 66 line, they'd be great at it.

    Sorry, but I need more than a cartoon drawing of a figure (Athena) to commit to a purchase. Had the first four figures been without major flaws, I just might have pulled the trigger (assuming that the same quality would be maintained), but since they were not, I need convincing.

    Btw, I'm so glad that BBP continues to pitch in and answer questions. And they're always cool about criticism, which I appreciate.
    I only comment on stuff that I care about, and would like to buy if the quality was there.

    I've had these on pre order since they started taking the pre order for them. I was really hoping we would have this wave and at least 2 others by now.

    Agreed...but how are we supposed to continue to vote with our wallets if BBP doesn't even solicit Boomer/Baltar, Imperious Leader/Tigh, Sheba/Ovion?

    Yeah, I definitely have Athena & Lucifer on pre-order even though I'm less than thrilled with Athena's current eye color, should be very light blue. Her hair looked great at Toy Fair though, and it's hard to tell from the helmet and basic paint but I think the sculpt is there in the lips, nose and cheekbones, but her brows definitely start too high. I also wish she were in her Core Command uniform rather than Viper Pilot, but beggars can't be choosers.

    I'm gonna be heartbroken if we don't at least get Baltar, Boomer & Tigh. ...But that Ovion ugh OMG so cool!!
