Battlestar Galactica
2005 – 2006 (Majestic Studios)

When the Sci-Fi channel revived the fan favorite television series, Battlestar Galactica in 2003, fans were thrilled to have their favorite show back on the air, but there quite a few changes made to it. Due to the new show’s success, interest in the classic series surged during this time and sent fans into a frenzy for classic Battlestar Galactica items. Majestic Studios stepped in and produced a small line of 12 inch figures based on the classic series from 2005 to 2006. Additional figures were planned from the re-imagined series as well, but only a SDCC exclusive Cylon Centurion made it to release in 2006.

Majestic Studios had plans to release additional figures from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. A Cylon Centurion from the new series was released as a SDCC exclusive in 2006, but a Lee “Apollo” Adama 12 inch figure was also proposed. The Apollo figure never actually released to retail, but did make it to the company’s sales catalog.

When the Sci-Fi channel revived the fan favorite television series, Battlestar Galactica in 2003, fans were thrilled to have their favorite show back on the air, but there quite a few changes made to it. It was still a great show, but interest in the classic series surged during this time and sent fans into a frenzy for classic Battlestar Galactica items. Three companies stepped up and secured various rights to produce toys based on the original series. Each company producing a completely different scale of figures from the others. Majestic Studios happened to be one of those companies, and produced a small line of 12 inch figures based on the classic series from 2005 to 2006.

Majestic Studios’ line of figures included five basic 12 inch figures from the classic Battlestar Galactica series, with Apollo, Commander Adama, Starbuck, Cylon Centurion and Cylon Commander. These figures were highly detailed with an amazing display of skill and sculpting. Additional figures were planned for the re-imagined Sci-Fi Chanel series that launched in 2003, but only the Cylon Centurion made it to the market as a SDCC exclusive in 2006. A Lee “Apollo” Adama figure made it to a prototype phase, but was never produced. In addition, Majestic Studios also released two additional exclusive figures from the classic series with the Tower Records Cylon, and the Space Toys Apollo & Starbuck Two-Pack.

The packaging for the Majestic Studios line of Battlestar Galactica figures was certainly eye catching, with that classic Sideshow figure style. The figures were boxed, with a flip cover to reveal the figure inside. The box front featured the boxed figure front and center with the character name across the top and the iconic Battlestar Galactica logo across the bottom. An actual photo of the character was just to the side of the photo of the figure. The exclusive figures had similar packaging, with the respective exclusive label on it. These figures have become highly collectible over the years and are considered to be among the best Battlestar Galactic figures to have ever been produced. One of the few faults with these figures is that Majestic possibly tried to cut corners to save money on the packaging and therefore the figures featured on the box often didn’t match the figure inside.
