Ran across someone's photo of 2008 New York Comic Con, and they got this:  Awesome! Does anyone know where to purchase these? Let's see if this works... |

only the Adama, Apollo and Starbuck figures were ever released. Along with a silver and gold Cylon. At this point, Ebay is your best bet.
I have one of each (minus the Gold Cylon, and a few extra uniforms (from extra figures I had gotten) that I used to make a custom Captain Edan figure.

Originally I believe it was Myjestic Toys, but they went under, and Amok Time Toys took over (they were the ones who were going to expand the line to include Athena, Boomer, Lucifer Tigh and Cain.
But they are no longer up on Amok Time's website as of last year when I looked last.
there is also a Dual pack with Starbick and Apollo both sporting the "Ship of lights" white uniforms.
but like I said, you're best bet is ebay.
I'd kill for someone to offer updated 3 3/4 inch figures rather then these 1/6 scale ones. Much more affordable and collectible!!

Oh, these figures! I had forgotten about these. I have the Starbuck, Apollo, Gold Cylon and Comdr. Adama...
I had also preordered the Athena and the Boomer but they never got made...sad, because they do look pretty cool...
ebay is your best bet for some still around...

Looks like Amazon has them too. I think I'll pick them up; they're pretty cheap now. Thanks Reaper!

I just bought Adama, Starbuck and Apollo on Amazon last night for like $68 for all 3. And got out bid on the Silver Cylon on Ebay last night that ended up going for $76 by itself.
Thanks for the info on the Boomer, Athena and Cain. I was wondering why I couldn't find them anywhere. Most sites I went to either said sold out or no longer available.
The dual Starbuck Apollo in white from the Experiment in Terra episode was on Ebay for $199 plus $57 shipping. Was a 2006 Comic Con exclusive only 500 made and autographed by Richard Hatch.

I like the idea of getting an extra apollo for the uniform. I wonder how hard it would be to find a doll that looks like Boomer or Athena. Athena probably wouldn't be too hard. |

you would actuall need a Starbuck for the uniform (the holster leg straps are sewn into the figure's pants and the holsters are not reversible) if you want to make a Boomer.
You're best bet for a Figure head would be one of those make your own head sites that allow you to create 1/6 scale heads from photographs. finding African American figures isn't so hard. So once you have the head and the uniform, it'll be done. It might be worth trying to get a package deal for Boomer, I know I'd go in for a head if it was done.

Yeah, bodies would be the easiest thing to get for any custom action figure in the 12 inch range. I've done a few customs over the years.
Heads would be the absolute hardest part, even the outfits can be made somewhat cheaper. (even if we tried for more accurate ones then the commercial figures)
The laser, Languatron and rechard cylinders could be molded and cast for the custom fiigures. Even the helmets could be as well.
It could be done, but like I said, I'd rather a 3 3/4 inch figures. Cheaper all around to get the ENTIRE cast lol.
