Quantum Mechanics is making a line of animated-style Battlestar Galactica maquettes; that's Starbuck up above, and you can head over to ToyNewsI to see a Cylon in the same style. They're $65 each, 6-inches tall and due out in September. Frankly, I'm not really stunned by them, except for the fact that the line is seriously called Little Frakkin' Toasters (for the Cylons) and Little Frakkin' Colonials (for the humans), and this actually made me laugh. it's like Precious Moments for the BSG set. I can only dream that they start doing actual scenes, like of Tigh poisoning his wife or Athema's husband having mistakenly rough sex with Boomer while a tied-up Boomer is forced to watch or a drunk Adama vomiting all over himself on the street. I would buy the living fuck out of those.

They look great, but the price is a bit of a deal-breaker for me. They're more than $10 per inch ... yipes!

It's a good thing the 3/4 angle shot is there, because from the front you could believe her cigar is actually cartoonish gap-teeth.

I want a dead Calli floating in space. Or better yet Cavell shooting himself in the head.
All of this would simply seem to confirm my suspicion that there's something horribly, horribly wrong with EMOBSG and its fans. I mean, who pays $65.00 USD for a 6-inch piece of plastic in the (vague) image of a bitchy drunk?
Or is that "drunken bitch"? I can never get the order right...

hmph. They took away the best part of Starbuck, which was that she was kinda muscular. Here she just looks like that barbie doll I always used bo portray her before.
...
Uh, the point is, Starbuck in the show looks like she could kick my ass, and can uriate on camera with style. This toy looks like it can do neither of those things.
...
Uh, nevermind. Clearly Katee Sackoff is bad for me.

And from that assertion, we may deduct that in real life you are a 5'2" girl.

Is it wrong that I find this version hotter than the real Stardoe?

Booo, I've been moderated. How immoderate.
It's a decent sculpt but I'd just like it more if there was a likeness. Katee is gorgeous.

OnanRulz, you sound like you have Starbuck penis envy there pal, perhaps some shots to help your lil'floppy pal out there? How is it again that this drunken emo-bitch that will fuck anything and got loads of people killed is a bad-ass again? Could it be, she's an ANGEL?! (*big weepy gay anime eyes!*) It's so unbelievable that so many people have swallowed EMOBSG's spunk like some old bunch of queens hanging out at the last tranny disco bar...
DOES THIS SHOW SUCK?! SO SAY WE ALL!!!

You've spent far too much time in La-La Land, my friend.

Don't kid yourself. Little girls like Sackhoff do not go about effortlessly pummeling men eight inches taller and dozens of pounds heavier than themselves no matter what physical condition they're in.

...Dammit! That's just the fumarello in her mouth and the angle of the shot! Argh.

New BSG is the best BSG because it annoys the hell out of the right people. And because she offends the right type of BSG fans, I will support any promo items that celebrate Cally. $65 is kind of cheap for a holy symbol that can turn away two kinds of geeks.

Right, because if we don't go out of our way to annoy the right wrong people, then the right right people might think we're the wrong wrong people!
War is peace. Slavery is Freedom. We all love Big Brother.
And because she offends the right type of BSG fans, I will support any promo items that celebrate Cally.
Who said anything about being offended by Cally?

(People always forget the the third pillar of oligarchical collectivism: ignorance is strength. Either those mugs at the Ministry of Truth are slacking off...or they are doing too good a job.)
I've actually heard quite a lot of griping about Cally, always based on reasoning that makes me glad the griper is being irked. They strike me as the type who fast-forward through "the talky parts". Same with fans who don't just prefer the old series but resent that the new one exists at all. Cally therefore gets on the nerves of two classes of people upon whose nerves I like to get.

Carl, you soft vagina, firemen are not real men. REAL MEN LET THINGS BURN. Obviously you were born into the wimpified 20th century. Reach down and find a pair and join the glorious Bronze Age like a heterosexual, would you?

Oh yes, the wimpified 20th Century? Goddamn, talk about a lack of brains as well, the greatest generation that defeated the Nazis, fascism and put down the Soviet Union too, all so you could watch in safety your girlie-lil'soap opera pretending to be science fiction. What an ungrateful cunt you are, Jesus H. Christ...

The thing about Cally...I like BSG (I'm too young to have seen the original series) partly because the characters seem like real people, including various severe personality flaws. There ARE women like Cally in real life who are screwed up, depressed, suicidal, and subconsciously seek out abusive relationships. Nobody ever said BSG characters were supposed to be feminist role models.
