"By your command" - 1/6th scale Battle-Damaged Cylon Centurion.
As a pre-launch to their upcoming new 1/6th scale Battlestar Galactica series, Majestic Studios will release an exclusive Battle-Damaged Cylon Centurion.
Pulled from the hit SciFi Channel TV series, the figure will measure a towering 13 1/2" tall and come packaged with a metallic-look base covered with the robotic parts and head of a fallen Cylon comrade at his feet.
“This will not be just a repaint of our regular version Cylon,” says Majestic CEO Rick Phares. “It has a completely different head sculpt, which shows just what a few blaster hits can do to a Cylon head. But, since the blasts did not hit the 'brains,' he just keeps attacking.”
The regular version Cylon, as well as the con exclusive, will feature interchangeable forearms that can be switched to the Cylon’s trademark turret guns. The most prominent facial feature, the red laser beam eye movement, will be accomplished using a lenticular process covered by an outside clear grooved lens. This process will allow eye movement without the headache of constantly changing batteries for an installed light.
“It is made up of hand poured polyresin, hard plastic ABS and soft plastic PVC. While we did have the benefit of the exact computer design from special effect company ZOIC, every piece of our figure needed to be engineered from scratch since there are obviously no user’s guide or manual for Cylon movement.”
Phares continued, “To keep the original design and likeness intact, we utilized limited articulation. The moveable areas will be the shoulders, elbows, wrist, hips, knees and waist.”
Limited to 400 numbered pieces, the Battle-Damaged Cylon Centurion will be available on a first come, first served basis, as follows: 100 will be available on Preview Night of the con (July 19), the balance will go on sale beginning at opening the next day with none held back, until they are gone.
A small pre-release quantity (300 pieces) of the regular version Cylon Centurion will be sold in the same manner. The full release of the Cylon (SRP $59.95) and the 12” Captain Lee Adama “Apollo” (SRP $44.95) figure will take place through comic book and collectible stores at the beginning of August.
