My dream is for a small company like EXO-6 to pick up the license and produce really detailed figures in small batches. They are doing it with Trek to great success!
Well regarding the Mattel unreleased stuff, among them at least the Galactica prototype did survive and it sold on ebay several years ago for quite a hefty sum so some lucky son-of-a-gun has it somewhere!
Wow! What an awesome display. The prototype Athena is a beautiful sculpt. I’d love it if Amok Time would try to launch a 3.75 line of original Battle Star Galactica toys. Maybe they could work with Super 7 since they like to pick-up/collaborate on more obscure licenses (the reason they have $20 figures at 3.75 inch scale and 5 points of articulation). I’d be happy to shell out for original Galactica series figures: Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, Tigh, Boomer, Jolly, Athena, Cassiopeia, Sheba, Serina, Boxey and Muffet, Rigel, Omega, Dr. Salik, Dr. Wilker, Baltar, Lucifer, Cylon Centurion, Cylon Commander, Cylon Imperious Leader, and Commander Cain. I Wouldn’t mind seeing Super 7 Buck Rogers in the 25th Century figures either.
@@battlestarcollectica7106 Yes, it’s true. They say they aren’t going to move away from ReAction, and they are still putting out some smaller/nitch demand ReAction product (musicians, The Worst, Sesame Street, Richard Scarry, and Willy Wonka) but it does seem the primary effort is the extremely higher price point Ultimates. When GI Joe ReAction+ O-rings come out, I wonder how long 5 POA ReAction figures will last, indeed.
I can't tell you how many stories I've head about prototypes and props ending up in dumpsters. Only to see those props resurface. I wonder just how many people in the 'know' make those stories up. Or lie on purpose to satisfy something or other.
I think a lot of employees take stuff home and forget about it (especially back in the day). Then they retire and find a box in their garage filled with cool stuff from 40 years ago! At least that’s what I hope happens!😊
@@battlestarcollectica7106 That has happened in own life. Sadly the 40 year old boxes do not contain missing stuff from my favorite shows. But I can say I still have to find my Black Hole bedsheets, and a Viper pillow my mom made for me. :)
True. No one throws out prototypes. It is a good way to hide that you've stolen something that never got produced, though. In retail corporate insists that damaged goods be thrown out, but the truth is managers just take it home for free...and then it gets revealed it was never damaged, just Reported as "damaged"...same thing.
Wow - Amok Time Toys! They're based here on Long Island. The owner, Paul, was a friend of a friend of mine from way back. It's always fun shopping in their store, which started with quite a lot of retail space before they scaled back a bit to accommodate the online retail side of their business. I didn't know about this Galactica merch, but it doesn't surprise me that they did a great job with the license.
Should have been Galaga, would have made a nice tie in with avengers. 😏😉 _yes, I _*_know_*_ this came out years and years before the film… just would've been a shiny coincidence_
@@battlestarcollectica7106today yes for 3D prints but you could easily have scratch built one out of styrene sheets and rods 20-30-40 years ago. Model making and diorama builders have been building stuff like it for decades. This is obviously how Amok Time made this one. But still very cool you got the original OOAK model. It’s very impressive and a real piece of Galactica collecting history and a grail to have. Congrats on your acquisition. 👏
I think it was bad marketing on Mobuis models part. They shouldn’t have called them pre finished models. When I think of a model. I think fragile. They should have gone the way of Diamond select/Art asylum. Maybe added some die cast like Eaglemoss. Mobuis should have added some strength and weight to the kits. Those stands should be stonger. The Select Star Trek stands were horrible. I bought some custom ones on eBay. Sorry it wouldn’t let me reply to your comment.
There was. Guy with a sparkly red robe/cape and a bullet shaped skull that had multiple lights tracing around inside. A Conduit/interface between Baltar and the cylon leadership iirc
Outstanding work they did On this prototype / display. showing this bridge together with these figures - simply amazing!! Great episode!
Thanks!!
Awesome! I have the Amok Time Starbuck, Apollo, and Cylon and really dig them! I really wish the line had continued. Those prototypes look great!

@@battlestarcollectica7106 Yes that would be amazing.
Any one of these figures would make a great gift for the hard core Galactica fan. The model of the bridge would be the cherry on top!
I agree!!! Thanks for watching!
WoooW, your collection is still getting more awesome!!! The bridge set is amazing, congrats!!! 🤩👍
Thank you 🤗
That's beyond cool! The screens look fantastic!
I agree!! To think it was made well over a decade ago is amazing!!
Well regarding the Mattel unreleased stuff, among them at least the Galactica prototype did survive and it sold on ebay several years ago for quite a hefty sum so some lucky son-of-a-gun has it somewhere!
That is a legendary sale!! I’m glad that something survived!
Good job. That's a piece of history. ❤😂
Thanks!!
Just beautiful! One question: Is this part of your collection now?
Not yet!
The boots are amazing.
yep
They did a really good job on the accessories and costumes!
Man those are awesome these are the figures I wanted when I was six years old.
We all did!!
very cool! Congratz!
Thanks!!!

Super7 seems to only be interested in Ultimates right now. They are really neglecting ReAction!

Thanks for the info! It’s on my bucket list to visit them!
Thanks for showing!
I’m glad you liked the episode!!
Cool! Where is it now? 👍
That’s my question as well. Do you know how it was found? Is it with a private collector now? Good video but it invites more questions for sure.
It’s in a private collection…
@@battlestarcollectica7106 - Ah! Say no more... 😉
That's an awesome Athena! 😃
It really is! I did an entire episode about it. Please check it out!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing all the Infos
Thanks for watching!!
Just one word: AWESOME!!.
I agree!
Mobuis models classic pre finished cylon raider. It’s huge dude. It’s so sweet. Still have mine in box.
I don’t know why it sold so bad! Makes no sense!
This would be awesome with the 8 inch Bif Bang figures.
I should see how that looks! Great idea!
@@battlestarcollectica7106 Yeah, and as a plus, they're a lot cheaper than the 12 inch ones that were produced! Good luck!
This is great…
I hope you’ll do a video on the Saga of a Fugitive Fleet 4CD set…
I have to look that one up…
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching!!
Wow if only all of this had made it into production! I wish Hot Toys or EXO-6 could take on this line.
EXO-6 would be the perfect company!!
3:04 Tetris lol
I love it!!! Thanks for spotting it! Adama would be proud!
Should have been Galaga, would have made a nice tie in with avengers. 😏😉
_yes, I _*_know_*_ this came out years and years before the film… just would've been a shiny coincidence_
You kind of left the part out where you explain being able to film the prototypes, and what happened to them/how they were recovered.
I’m lucky to have some super nice BSG friends!
Wow.🎉
It truly is cool!!
Awesome!!
Thanks!
Have you heard the new Funko video game that's coming out for consoles is going to have classic Battlestar Galactica characters in it?
That’s breaking news to me! Thanks for that!!
@@battlestarcollectica7106 no problem. This game is going to expose the show to a whole new generation so it's a pretty big deal imo.
So Adama players Tetris with someone on the bridge? 😂😂😂 RDJ, probably…
Lol!!😂
dang, this is really good.
The video does not do it justice! Thanks for watching!
3:03 😹🫶 *The bottom monitor says "player 2" on the left Tetris, …*
Lol! 😂🤣😂🤣
Very cool display but anybody with some scratch building model skills can make one with cut styrene or 3D print one.
Today yes, but back then it took a lot of talent to build something like this!
Very true. I could have scratchbuilt that 20 years ago with a little home made cast resin molds for repetitive parts and styrene.
@@battlestarcollectica7106today yes for 3D prints but you could easily have scratch built one out of styrene sheets and rods 20-30-40 years ago.

I think you’re right. That “pre-finished” name turned some people off (and the high price did not help as well!).
Wow that is so very cool
Thanks and thanks for watching!
There was a character called...Lucifer?
There was. Guy with a sparkly red robe/cape and a bullet shaped skull that had multiple lights tracing around inside. A Conduit/interface between Baltar and the cylon leadership iirc
Baltars side kick!
I'll take Athena
Athena is now safely in the hands of a true BSG fan!
@ 3:02 Tetris on the bottom monitor.
Lol!!😂😂🤣🤣
That's really not how you pronounce '"amok."
Lol!
athena should have had rooted hair
I agree but most 1/6 collectors like molded hair. I think over time the rooted hair does not age well.
