Vintage 1978 Mattel 12" Battlestar Galactica Action Figures (Sold Seperately)

Description: When Star Wars hit the theaters in the summer of 1977, every studio in Hollywood began scrambling to find the next big Sci-Fi hit to get their share of the pie. Universal Studios’ candidate was Battlestar Galactica, which was aired its two hour pilot on September 17, 1978, then later as a theatrical release in the U.S and Canada. The ensuing television series would run 24 episodes from 1978 to 1979, with brief spin-off series called Galactica 1980. Mattel was quick to jump on the Battlestar Galactica bandwagon with a line of action figures and toys released from 1978 to 1979. The toy line saw moderate success and has gained somewhat of a cult following over the years with many of these items remaining in high demand. In addition to the 3.75 inch figures, Mattel also released a small series of two different 12 inch figures as well. The two figures were a Cylon Centurion and a generic Colonial Warrior. This offering are original 1978 12 Inch Action Figures. These items are sold separately via MPN listing but if you buy both and have them shipped to the same address, I will combine shipping and refund the difference. Colonial Warrior: The Colonial Warrior figure was not modeled after any particular character from the series, but rather re-casted from a Captain Laser figure from Mattel’s Mat Mason line in 1968. The figure had a cloth coat, along with a large backpack molded onto his back. When you push the button on the backpack, the laser on his hand would illuminate. The figure stood 11.5″ tall. Cylon Centurion: The 12.5″ Cylon Centurion figure had a removable chest armor piece, along with a backpack molded onto his back. When you push the button on the backpack, the laser on his hand would shine red, along with the light in this chest and Cylon eye. The eye could move back and forth with a lever on the back of his head. These are great examples of early Battlestar Galactica toys and I am their original owner. All parts are EOM from Mattel, there are no reproductions or 3D printed items in this listing.
