Majestic Studios announced that a giant 13.5 inch Battle Damaged Cylon Centurion from the Battlestar Galactica TV series will be sold at the 2006 Comic Con.
"This will not be just a repaint of our regular version Cylon," says Majestic CEO Rick Phares. "It has a completely different head sculpt, which shows just what a few blaster hits can do to a Cylon head. But, since the blasts did not hit the "brains," he just keeps attacking."
The piece will be available on a first come, first served basis. 100 will be available on Preview Night (July 19), the remainder will go on sale the next day.
"This figure is technically the most difficult project I've had the pleasure to work on," says Phares. "It is made up of hand poured polyresin, hard plastic ABS and soft plastic PVC. While we did have the benefit of the exact computer design from special effect company ZOIC, every piece of our figure needed to be engineered from scratch since there are obviously no user's guide or manual for Cylon movement."
