    I had the Cylon Raider that shot red plastic “missles” when I was a kid and some of the figures. Such cool toys.

      I remember my mom took the missiles from mine after some kid choked on theirs. It was a big deal back in the day. Was on the news. That is why the new missiles on toys are 10 inches long.

    The tradition of _dagashiya_ (Japanese-style candy stores) includes such candy toys, plastic models, puzzles, marbles, and those little gliders you assemble by attaching the weight to the nose and tossing them into the air. Blind-box toys almost always come with some sort of gum or ramune candy. I only managed to get the Base Star on Yahoo Auctions Japan just a few years ago and it's the only one I have. Here in Japan, BSG is extremely niche and finding anyone who knows about it is rare unless you attend some model show or SF convention. I grew up watching Buck Rogers and BSG back-to-back via syndication every Sunday starting at 5pm in the '80s, but there is no such culture for that here. So, it's amazing that any company like Konami made such BSG candy toys.

    My local Forbidden planet sold these way back without candy, never knew if it was one of those secret options they do in these kind of things but someone on E-Bay used to sell the Battlestar's as named after the 12 colonies not just Galactica but I think that Pegasus or Atlantia was one you could get packaged as well though I only ever seemed to get Galactica from the store.

    Strange. Because if I get this right in some Asian cultures a piece of candy 🍬 is handed out a funerals. During a certain point in the service the attendies eat it. Its meant as a reminder of the sweetness of life.

      There is some controversy over the whole Raider vs Viper scale. No one (including Universal) really has the answer! I think that Monogram got it right back in 1978 but some say that the Raider should be much bigger!
