ZICA Classic Battlestar Galactica ?

[Marc]

Yes, me too... it would have been great to collect some other figures from the main cast. It was fantastic that the first wave was produced, but most of the time you always have Apollo/ Starbuck and the Cylons and that's it... For example like the Joyride-toyline too... that's a bit disappointing...
Well, I keep my fingers crossed for a new line! If it is well done, I will buy it for sure...

I would have loved to have seen more 1/6 BSG figures. I bought all five. A real shame wave 2 didn't make it...

I'd love to see EMCE match the quality of the Zica Buck Rogers line! We would have some really kick *** Battlestar Galactica figures

Could these sculpts be reused for the EMCE Galactica figures? The larger scale shouldn't be a problem, as they could be 3D scanned and reproduced on a 3D printer.

They would have to contact Amoktime as they own those particular sculpts. Our lead sculptor did the Buck, Hawk and Killer Kane sculpts for Zica. They were sculpted at 1/6th scale. Not sure what process was used to reduce them to 1/9th. Whatever the process sculpts always seem to lose something when reduced mechanically. The best results come from sculpting the head at the right scale and making it slightly larger to account for shrinkage in the final casting. In the past we have submitted a portfolio to Biff Bang Pow. We have done over 500 1/9th scale celebrity sculpts for Robot Chicken. I'm sure BBP and EMCE get a lot of sculptors wanting to work with them. If collectors like the Buck Rogers sculpts and want the same quality on BSG and 6MDM you should let them hear from you.

Our studio sculpted the prototypes for the 12 inch Original BSG figures that were going to be prouced by Amok Time Toys. We were really disappointed that there was not enough fan support to bring the figures to production. Maybe at a smaller scale and cheaper price the line will be more successful. At least we got a set of figures out of the deal. Prototype sculpts can be seen here:

Note: Lucifer was reworked but we haven't updated the site with more accurate pictures.

They were gorgeous sculpts, but the figures were waaaay too expensive. And I got the Apollo and Starbuck figures.

The boots were difficult to remove, and the pants had a distressing tendency to ride too low on the hips.

The helmet and pistol were well done, but the gun belt kept slipping a lot.

Did Doc say WHEN these babies were coming out?

Hopefully by next summer.

Well, unfortunately, the line won't be released through ZICA, but BBP just announced they'll be doing classic BSG retro figures. Finally!

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I would definitely go broke if an 8" line came out.

[jemboy2004]

ZICA BSG would be awesome! I'd be interested in them.

[Marc]

Hello again, thank you for the warm welcome!

[starsky]

this would be my dream line and i really hope craig can make it happen!

If ZICA did classic Battlestar Galactica, I'd love it. Especially if they did:

Starbuck (colonial warrior outfit)
Apollo (colonial warrior outfit)
Boomer (colonial warrior outfit)
Zack (colonial warrior outfit)
Commander Adama
Colonel Tighe
Baltar
Cylon Centurion (I'd have to buy about 5 of these guys)
Cassiopeia
Athena
Serena
Boxey & Muffet
Lucifer

I could easily see myself buying all of these characters if done with the same dedication to detail as the Buck Rogers line.

if ZICA put out BSG and I so wish TWOK start trek figures,, a cylon,, all thos, id buy in a split second,,, well maybe 10 split seconds.

Hey Marc,

good to see a fellow German here in the forums. Welcome!

I saw Buck Rogers and Classic Battlestar nearly at the same time in german television, back in 1980, and loved both shows... until today

In Germany it was nearly impossible to get toys of both shows, so I customized StarWars-figures as Apollo and so on... So this is the reason why i love new products of both shows, it is a childhood dream come true... I think this is for many collectors in Europe just the same...

Exactly the same with me. I saw both pilots in the movies back then and I was hooked.
The Mattel Gallactica figures were never available over here in Germany (I was hard enough to get Megos, as the predominant line was "Big-Jim".
So I too customized Star Wars figures. Han Solo Bespin outfit served as Colonial warrior outfit with repaint and different heads.

These days I customiize 8" Megos into Battlestar Galactica figures, but I'd like to see a BSG line released by ZICA.
