The Majestic Studios 1/6th Scale Figure Collection is a series of 12"[1] figures from both the classic and re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series.
The Cylon Centurion from the new series features interchangeable forearms that can be switched from bladed fingers to turret guns, and a lenticular eyepiece to simulate red eye movement. In a press release, CEO Rick Phares noted, “The Cylon will be the most accurate figure we have released to date because we’re working directly from the original computer CGI files of its design from ZOIC, the special effects company responsible for bringing the Cylon to life on the screen.” “This figure is technically the most difficult project I’ve had the pleasure to work on,” says Phares. “It is made up of hand poured poly-resin, 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.”[2]
Lee Adama, the first human character from the new series, is dressed in his leather-look fatigues and comes with full flight gear including helmet and weapon. He comes with two interchangeable sets of hands so that you can switch from flight gloves on to gloves off.
The Cylon Centurion was released in both a standard and a "Battle Damaged" exclusive edition in mid-2006. The Lee Adama figure expected in late 2006 has been rescheduled for January 2007.
