By Chris & Leslie Lightfoot Introduction Battlestar Galactica is an adventurous science-fiction drama set in a distant part of the galaxy where humanity fights to survive and find a new home after nearly being exterminated by the Cylons, a race of intelligent machines that humans themselves had created. Welcome to the Galactica Wiki! An encyclopedia based on the three main series, Battlestar Galactica (1978 Series), Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series) and Battlestar Galactica: Blood& Chrome that anyone can edit.

Sidenote: With these of Battlestar Galactica action figures, as is often the case with older figures, it is the weapons and accessories that prove to be the most difficult to find, although the figures themselves are relatively easy to acquire. 12-inch FiguresIn 1979 Mattel released two 12-inch Battlestar Galactica action figures, a Colonial Warrior figure and Cylon Centurion Figure.The Colonial Warrior was based on the original mold from Mattel's Major Matt Mason's Captain Laser figure and came with a laser beam, scanner device and Arial and the Cylon had the added bonus of a manually operated moving red eye and glowing chest.Both these figures have become extremely hard to find in mint condition with their boxes intact, so are worth keeping a look out for.

Cylon CenturianVehiclesLater, in 1980, Mattel also introduced a limited edition mail away Gold Cylon offer, in which you had to send in four proofs of purchase from any of the four figures in the series to get.Mattel also produced five Battlestar Galactica ships, three which were based on ships featured in the show, and two made up ones.

Battlestar Galactica 1978 Characters

These were a Colonial Viper, Cylon Raider, Colonial Landram, Stellar Probe, and Scarab.Initially each of these came with missiles that could be fired but after a child died from swallowing one they were replaced, so the earlier figures have become somewhat of a rarity.The Colonial Viper was one of the best models that Mattel released and looked exactly like it did in the show and came with a small 2' viper pilot figure.The Scarab was one of Mattel's 'made up' vehicles and was never actually featured in the series. It came in 3 main parts, the command module, drive section and rocket launcher. The instruction sheet also wrongly labeled the figure that came with these vehicles as a Cylon.Another vehicle released by Mattel that had nothing to do with the show was the Colonial Stellar Probe 30 which was based very loosely on the Colonial viper.The Stellar Probe, like the Scarab, had nothing to do with the show and consisted of the command module, main body, wing unit, tail, thrusters, adapter, nose cone, and lift-off assembly.The nice part with this figure is that by interchanging the parts you could make up to eight different vehicles. As with the Scarab there are two variations of this vehicle available, a grey version with firing missiles and a non firing version.Artwork on the box also contained a picture of an early prototype Colonial figure with white arms and a red body rather than the final all red version which was released.The Colonial Landram is probably the hardest Battlestar Galactica toy to find, with the exception of the Battlestar Galactica itself, of course.The Colonial Landram was released in 1979 and was the last of the Mattel ships to be released and then only in Canada. It was was built to the same scale as the other ships and, as with the others, was available in both a non missile firing and a missile firing version.There were two types of wheels available for the Landram, caterpillar tracks and plain wheels, in the same style as the Scarab, it also came with two small warrior figures that sat inside the cockpit. One of these sold on Ebay for $2,025.00 in 2006.The Viper Launch Station came with the runway, two launch-able vipers, two laser turrets, solar sensors, catapult grip, and two raider targets.

This is one of the more difficult items to find, particularly in mint condition with all the pieces intact and often sell more than $60. Vehicles. Colonial Scarab. Colonial Stellar Probe. Colonial Viper. Cylon Raider.

Colonial LandramBattlestar Galatica Command ShipThen we have the Holy Grail of Battlestar Galactica collectibles, the one that everyone wants, The Battlestar Galactica Command Ship (see below). This “ship” was to feature electronic sounds, launching vipers and was a massive 22 inches in length!

It was, however, never released as it was deemed to be too expensive to produce and sell and hence why you will probably never see one for sale.However, at least one prototype DOES exist and sold on Ebay for $5,100.00 in 2006.
