June 11, 2008 : BSG Series 2 Cylon Figures
Can I just say how much I love our Cylon Centurion figure? Seriously, if California law keeps going the way it’s headed I’m going to marry one some day. For those not in the know, we just released our second series of Battlestar Galactica action figures and they’re so frakkin’ cool that I had to write a blog about them. Now I may be biased since I watch every episode multiple times (once on the internet, once on my DVR, once with commentary, repeat viewings with friends, etc), but in my fan-boy opinion every single sci-fi-watching nerd on the internet needs at least one of these.
I’m most impressed with the working pistons on the heels, but those interchangeable gun arms are just too cool for school. Claw hands, relaxed hands, fist hands – you get ‘em all. Even the neck has double articulation for posing your Cylon Cenutrions with that little extra spark of personality they’ve been starting to develop lately on the show (way to introduce religion to the robots, Baltar… frakkin’ stooge). This assortment may have been a long time coming, but it’s definitely been worth the wait!
