groundhog7s Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm in Indiana. I got them from the TRU fulfillment center in Ohio. It only seemed right I post the first pic of these since I started the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I'll ignore that. Here's Kara and Leoben. Since the AA blog has shown the package fronts, I didn't take any pictures. Here's the back though (sorry, I didn't take pics of all of them). Front in tray The booty shot (to show Kara's suit) Kara's tatoo If there's a loser of the bunch, it's Aaron Doral and the Stealth Cyclon. No accessories and Aaron isn't very exciting (I suppose he could be Sulu's brother). The Stealth Cylon, though, does make up some for his lameness. In the tray More close-up Edited June 23, 2009 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Wow! ME WANTEE! Does Cavil not come with his cloak and hat in the end then? My brother is currently in America so I may be able to get these from him, but if not I have a back up board member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I always knew that there would come a day when I was absolutely sure ....totally sure ....that I could finally say ...... YES ...there they are............................................ I told you so. Love it.......absolutely love it/them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Here's John Cavil and the Tyllium mine Cylon in the tray Although you can change Cavil's outfit, here needs a collar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Finally, the elusive dirt-covered Cylon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Here's Adama and Razor Cylon in the tray And out of it And a side by side of the Razor Cylon (on the right0 with the previous Razor Cylon. The only difference I can tell is the added crotch piece. And finally, the best two redo's of any of the characters, Apollo and D'Anna. A big complaint of this line was that the characters didn't always look like the real people. I think these (particularly Apollo) show that that's not an issue. D'Anna's jacket can be removed (for those of you that are into that) Here's a side by side of Apollo with his earlier version. If they were all this much better, they could re-release all of the line and I wouldn't mind. Edited June 23, 2009 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Honestly, I think the first release is a much better likeness to the actor: These are starting to pop up on eBay, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks for the pics I can't wait for mine to show up on Friday! These all look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) The skin jobs all look amazing. I cannot wait to add them to my collection. The Cylons are kinda cool, but unneccessary to a long term collector, but make sense to add them for new customers. I'll have to wait and see which Lee I like better. I may swap the heads and hair. Starbuck shines out for me. She looks great, well the face not so much, but the hair and suit are cool. Edited June 23, 2009 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Honestly, I think the first release is a much better likeness to the actor: When you hold the figure up to that photo I can see what you mean, but looking at it on its own I always found it pretty generic looking... The new face just "suggests" the actor a lot better to me, but obviously it's all personal taste Still think it's a shame they switched out the New Caprica prototype Starbuck face for this one, but maybe I'll make my first attempt at a decal... Otherwise, these look amazing! Thanks for the pics groundhog7s Edited June 24, 2009 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Do we know, whether these will be available in store? Typically, TRU marks items "Online Only" when they're not gonna be available in store (see link as an example) http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3166816. Plus, given that these are exclusives, I'm sure TRU wants them to be visible both online and in Brick & Mortar Stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Wow! those are so nice. I can't wait to get them. EDIT: Wow, not much in the way of accessories like the regular waves. That is kinda a downer. Edited June 24, 2009 by pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is kinda a downer. It's not as if the last BSG waves had a ton of accessories... the Roslin/Zarek set only had an arrow. Pilot sets have the same pistol/helmet combo that comes w/ Apollo. The D'Anna/Eight set had a crappy frame and pistol. Caprica Six & Baltar had that lousy concrete slab. About the only 2 figures that stand out as noteworthy (as fas as accessories go) is Tigh (flask, liquor bottle and spare card-play hand) and CAG Starbuck (with the pilot stein and cigar hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Most accessoried stay in my spare parts bag so it doesn't bother me. After getting these, I can't wait until the next wave shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the only 2 figures that stand out as noteworthy (as fas as accessories go) is Tigh (flask, liquor bottle and spare card-play hand) and CAG Starbuck (with the pilot stein and cigar hand) That is my point though. Even though most of the accessories suck (In your opinion), the fact is that they still had them. I just like a little more bang for my buck is all. Maybe I am a little more focused on the one negative thing about this line but it is true. The concrete slab was the coolest thing about that episode and even though they are of no use for minimates or even action figures, the picture (frames) were pretty important to the characters they belonged to. Looking at this wave it would have been cool if Leoben had a kitchen knife. Or even toss in a couple little containers that we see lying all over the Galactica in every episode.

minimadman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Is it just me or do the eyes on the new Apollo seem a little too big? Like he is modeled after an animated character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
