loose shots

DB97 - Can you answer a long standing question? What is under the flight jacket of Apollo and Starbuck? Any tampo printing or just plain color?

It is just that plain greenish color of the uniform without the metallic sheen paint. No paint tampos at all.

Give me about 1/2 hour or so.

That is why I had to order a full case - otherwise my comic shop wouldn't have ordered them at all.

OK - here we go. Packaged shots first.

I might have made them a bit big for dial up so please be patient.

Oh, my case number is 660 out of 850 in case you are interested in that.

OK, I have them in hand and will have pictures later today.

They are carded like the early Marvel ones. There is no display box within the brown shipping box.

Case of twelve with the following breakdown:

4 Lt Dualla & Capt Apollo

4 Admiral Cain & Lt Starbuck

3 Cylon & Six

1 Cylon & Kobol Six

I will also be listing some of my extras tonight on eBay.

OK will do - expect them around 4 pm PST.

Do you guys want me to post pictures of them later today?

I am so excited. I saw this on my comic shop's ship list for this upcoming Weds.

Battlestar Galactica Modern Minimates 2-Pack – Series 1-

My case is coming in! I am so excited to be getting them. For some reason I was thinking I had longer to wait until they came out.

Those are Starbucks are indeed left over from Toy Fair and are in no way different.

A couple of shots of the Toy Fair exclusive Starbuck as requested.

Hey DB97! Before you sell all those off, can we talk you out of one of those nice close-ups pictures you take? Assuming you've kept one and opened her all for yourself...

Sure, give me a day or two to get home from NYC.

I have these available - please check out my for sale post. Thanks!

But I really think so. There were plenty of Santa Spideys sold through the year and plenty went for an affordable price.

This shouldn't be any different. If anything they should go for less than Spidey.

So I really think that anyone who really wants one should have plenty of opportunity to get one. Just be patient and make sure you get it at the right price.

So, why'd/where'd you get a Cylon Elf?

I am sorry but that really isn't important. I mean I am sorry you don't have one yet but there will be plenty of them to go around before all is said and done.

I will be adding modern Cylon pictures in a couple of minutes.

It is too bad the Downloaded Cylon is one per case because it is really purty looking.

The Valley of Darkness Cylon is my second favorite.

Where are you getting an elf?

Santa

And until I get it in my hands I am not saying I actually have one. I sure I jinxed myself now.

So DB97, what is it about the classics you don't like? Are they somehow inferior to the modern cylons in paint apps?

Or is it just the overall design isn't as exciting as the new guys?

Growing up I really did like Battlestar Galactica. However I don't think it held up over the years and I can barely watch it now. Don't even get me started on that uber-crappy flying around on motorcycles series.

And like so many other people I was wary of the new series when it was announced. I even fell for the <gasp> Starbuck is a girl? thing. That was really foolish of me because once I saw the mini series, I realized that modern BG is one of the best shows on tv.

So the classic Cylons just seem a little cheesy to me now. They are kind of bulbous (is that a word?) looking to me. A little bit like a weeble wobble. I don't know how to describe them. They just don't do it for me.
