November 24, 2008 : Return to New Caprica!

Although, if you watch the show, I don’t know how much “returning to New Caprica” you’d want to do! Considering it was Cylon occupied and the humans had to flee…once again (widely known as the Second Exodus). (more…)

September 20, 2008 : Looks like the cat’s out of the bag…

It’s always tricky when trying to keep upcoming projects “Top Secret.” Such was the case with our next Battlestar Galactica Minimates release - the New Caprica Minimates Box Set! (more…)

July 16, 2008 : Guess Who’s Coming To San Diego

The best part of preparing for any big show is the gambling that we do on whether or not an item will make it there to show off for the first time. For instance, the Ultimate Quarter Scale Trek figures did not make Toy Fair… So now the current gamble is whether we will have some BSG Series 4 figures to show off in San Diego. My guess is yup. Stay tuned!


 
 
 
 

July 14, 2008 : Hey Cylons, “Download” This!

Now I’m a huge Battlestar Galactica fan, but even I had to go back to the DVD’s for this one… Before I get ahead of myself, take a look at the hottest promo figure to come out of this year’s San Diego Comic Con – the Downloaded Cylon Centurion. We’re giving these beauties away at our Battlestar Galactica-themed invite-only party, making these pretty rare as far as action figures go. Hopefully we’ll be able to post some pictures that show off the fantastic decorations created by our very own DSTEsti (with a special shout out to our friends at Quantum Mechanix for some of their awesome BSG retro posters!)

June 20, 2008 : SDCC toy sales debuts

We managed to get half the BSG series 2 figures out the door in time for SDCC (they’ll be in stores 07/23). The rest are almost on a boat in HK to be shipped out. I never knew cylons came in so many different shades. There are going to be some pretty cool cylon armies out there.Factory has just been going frakking BSG crazy with all the awesome BSG items we have coming out at SDCC. Finally, all items are on the water though and sailing to comic con….

Stay classy, San Diego.


 
 
 
 

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.
