: ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome]]'' introduced fans to a stunning array of reimagined, upgraded starships from the [[TOS|original series]] that served as the inspiration for the all-new ''{{RDM|Battlestar Galactica}}'' series.

: [[Viper Mark III]] ship is an updated version of the battle-proven [[Mark II Viper]] and was introduced during the last years of the [[First Cylon War]]. It has a more angular, modern, and "muscular" design compared to its predecessor. The ship design has inspired subsequent iterations of multi-role Vipers, eventually leading to the highly advanced [[Mark VII Viper]]. In ''Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome'' [[William Adama]] takes part in the virtual reality training program on Viper Mark II showcasing all the capabilities of the ship.  
: Centurion was a fully armored metallic automation that functions as the basic foot-soldier of the {{RDM|Cylon}} ground forces. Centurions held various roles in the Cylon hierarchy, acting as guards, soldiers, executioners, and [[Downloaded|even gardeners]].


: This Viper Mark III ship is brought to life in heavyweight die-cast metal and high-quality ABS materials. The model captures the larger size of the vessel, its more angular fuselage, and the stunning paint detail: gunmetal grey with red stripes bordered by white trim. We have worked closely with members of the ''Galactica'' VFX team to ensure that the model is as accurate as possible.  
: This model showcases the evolution that the Centurions have undergone since the [[TOS|original series]], alongside other concepts such as Cylon {{RDM|Raiders}}, {{RDM|Basestar}}s and even ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''. The new Cylon Centurions are more agile and sleek with elongated limbs and long claws which act like blades in combat and pull back to reveal a projectile weapon.

The Cylon Centurion is the first special release (Special Issue #1) from Eaglemoss' Battlestar Galactica: The Official Ships Collection, a series of collectible models from the Battlestar Galactica multiverse.

It is the first figurine release depicting a character instead of a ship.

Description

From Eaglemoss' product page:

A silent and dangerous enemy is marching to our collection! Cylon Centurion Special Edition is a stunning recreation of the robotic foes faced in the Battlestar Galactica Universe.
Centurion was a fully armored metallic automation that functions as the basic foot-soldier of the Cylon ground forces. Centurions held various roles in the Cylon hierarchy, acting as guards, soldiers, executioners, and even gardeners.
This model showcases the evolution that the Centurions have undergone since the original series, alongside other concepts such as Cylon Raiders, Basestars and even Galactica. The new Cylon Centurions are more agile and sleek with elongated limbs and long claws which act like blades in combat and pull back to reveal a projectile weapon.
This Cylon Centurion Special Edition comes complete with a 16-page[1] collector’s magazine providing an in-depth profile of the model, exclusive behind the scenes articles, and an interview with the series developer, Ronald D. Moore.
