    Hey tllgn, Is there any ANY way you ca do a bro a solid & take & post pics of the BBP BBT girls (AMY & Bernie) in their STAR TREK UNIFORMS? Also, if by any chance you don't mind taking/posting these pics, IF you also have any EMCE STAR TREK TOS re-megos like Lt. UHURA or SPOCK &/or BONES to see how the BBT gals blue uniforms compared to the EMCE onss. Thanks either way.

    My Athena and Lucifer came today. While I am pleased with Lucifer I am disappointed with Athena. She has several glaring bald spots and her holster is way to big for the figure. Now I love Galactica but I feel with the long wait for these figures Athena could have been just a little bit better especially after all the complaints with the initial figures in the series. After putting them on the shelf I passed by my two Six Million Dollar Man figures by Zica and could not help but hope one day Craig can do this franchise justice but as fickle as buyers have become I would not blame him if he never tried to get the rights.

    Athena: "Apollo. I... I don't know. Should we really be doing this? And what is this planet exactly?"

    Apollo: "Sweetie it's okay. You know how we keep looking for our ancestry home Earth? Well... this is a little bit like that. It's called... Entertainment Earth. And I got this piece of real state as a free gift for some business transactions I made."

    Athena: " I don't know Apollo. I still care allot for Starbuck. And you KNOW how good he is at finding these weasel holes."

    Apollo: " Not a chance! He'll ..."



    Starbuck: " Well, well, well! What do we have here?"

    Apollo: "Starbuck I can explain..."

    Starbuck: " There's no explaining with you. And YOU Athena. How could you do this to me? After all the times I've demonstrated my faithfulness to you?! It just really..."



    Babe 2: " Starbuck. I thought you said we would be alone on this planet... Who the heck is that?!"

    Starbuck: "Frack..."

    Received my new BSG figures today and will be posting detailed photos tonight. I really like both Athena and Lucifer. I think they're both great additions and I feel they nailed all the qualities I was looking for. The paint apps are solid on both figures. Head size is proportioned nicely and they both fit in well with the rest of the series. Lucifer in particular is really growing on me. He has the full transparent body with red tight pants underneath and the same boots on all the figures. The head sculpt is especially nice in person. Like Six Mill, these too have revised card art on the front and pics of all the figures in the series on the back. I'll have fun shooting photos of these tonight. Seeing these makes me HATE the fact the series is ending. These are really good and just got me hungry for more. But, I understand the bigger picture. Just a wonderful job Jason. I appreciate all the love to you brought to this particular license. It was apparent through the imaginative ways you got all of these characters to market. Job well done!

    Looking forward to seeing these last entries. EE appears to have updated their website with shots of the actual production figures.

    Anything is possible I'm just ticked off. As a BSG fan was disappointed when the 12 " prototypes were shown , that got cancelled as well. If I'm interested in a line I usually contact the company , as I did with this company. And it was not the first time , probably not the last that I was misled into believing one thing and as the link suggests line had been cancelled. If I would have been a member at that time I would have contacted BBTS , I hope they did not send me shipping notice , have to cancel before I'm charged. But I'm stubborn so will not preorder or buy from BBP again. I'm really hoping someone will pick up and redo the BSG 8" line. But thank you guys for sharing link etc..

    Thank you for the link , I was not a member did not go back. I however stand by what I was told via twitter , it was misleading. To the response of no official preorders were taken is BS, I'm not an argumentative type of person , but I do not like being misled or patronized. BBTs had product Id numbers as well. They didn't pull those out of the air. If they stated here line ended w

    ^^^Aquaboy just so we're all on the same page, Jason was very upfront and forthcoming about the line. He officially announced on this thread back in February that Lucifer and Athena would conclude the series. I understand your disappointment, but that's a disappointment that is shared by BBP as well. Jason is a big fan and tried to bring all of these to market. I wouldn't be too harsh on him for matters he had no control over. See his announcement below, dated Feb.24th. I personally think he did an awesome job and I'm glad he fought to get these last two to market. Thanks Jason!

    BSG will end after Athena and Lucifer ships. SMDM line will end after Astronaut Steve (with smaller head) and Barney Hiller ships. The remaining six figures shown for The Venture Bros. will all be released. The future of The Twilight Zone line in 8-inch format hasn't been finalized yet. Dexter 8-inch will also be released. All remaining figures recently show at Toy Fair will be released, including series 1 and 2 from The Big Bang Theory, Mike Tyson, Penny Dreadful characters and Ace and Gary.

    I'm familiar with those who do not want to pre-order items a year+ in advance, and those that want to see a final sculpt before ordering. We've cancelled very few items in the history of our company that we've actively solicited for pre-order online. The figures we do show at trade shows sometimes don't make it to market - but that's what trade shows are intrinsically for. For San Diego Comic-Con, we've decided to refrain from showing prototypes that are not scheduled for production. We are simply adjusting our strategy to only show items that will make it to production. We are not giving up on the 8-inch format at all. More will be released from our company.

    BSG and SMDM licenses end in August and as a close partner, NBC and BBP are jointly moving on from these licenses at this time. We will not be making 3 3/4 inch BSG figures.

    Phew. It's all out there. Let's discuss.

    By the way after I reread the twitter message , I mentioned the sets I specifically asked about the ovion , you replied;All the figures we have taken preorders for will be produced. At that time many stores had already taken preorders for the items. BBts as mentioned in my first post took off their menu. But never cancelled preorders already placed. Google preorder Bif Bang Pow imperious Leader and you can see the BBts preorder page before taken down. That's alright I will cancel all orders from your company. Whether you "officially offered" or not is simply word games to me . That's ok FTC will get my money from now on.

    The Imperious Leader , and sheba sets are still on my bbts preorder list , you may have not given official preorders out , but someone should tell stores to cancel the orders they are still on my preorders page since I ordered them . In the past when an item is cancelled you receive an email from BBTS. I still show 3 sets I preordered on my account. Thank god they do not charge until they ship.
