The new episodes of Battlestar Galactica are so far away, that at this point it seems like January will never come. In the mean time we entertain ourselves however we can. Fortunately, BSG themed toys are all over the place.
The Battlestar Galactica Viper Model Kit is a piece of oldie goodness, a classic Colonial Viper from the 1978 series. This set, especially upgraded for the 30th anniversary of the show, contains 33 pieces, including new clear parts, newly tooled details and expanded decal sheet, including new Pegasus “Silver Spar” squadron emblems.
The 11 inch model should keep you busy for a while… not until January, but it’s better than nothing.

Finding a Cylon just after watching the last episode of this half-season Battlestar Galactica is serendipity. Or the Universe saying we won’t die because of the LHC but because evil robots will blow up our planet.
The New Caprica Cylon Action Figure is wonderful in many ways, most of them lethal. 3-foot tall robots who have a habit of acting erratically and shooting their masters are not the friendliest TV characters we’ve seen… which obviously makes them the thing to adorn your shelves and terrorize your other action figures.
At 8″ and featuring over 20 points of articulation, the Cylon Centurion is pretty impressive. But not as impressive as, say, 10 of them would be…

How I could dislike Battlestar Galactica for so long is beyond me. Luckily, the second season hooked me and now I can properly enjoy the genius behind these posters.
The set includes five old-school Battlestar Galactica propaganda posters to address almost every important aspect of the life on ship. The Cylons are the enemy. The Cylons can look like anyone. You must fight the Cylons. You can be an officer if you’ve got what it takes (and no, having Lee’s good looks is not a criteria). Every man is important. Ships can’t fly if they’re not taken care of.
Now, depending on your level of obsession, you can either:
a) think your bedroom looks cool and shows off your love for the show
b) dream of being Starbuck/Apollo and killing toasters, then wake up confused because your room looks too big for the BSG
c) drool on that hot picture of Number Six.
(And remember, the new season starts on April 4!)
