[/QUOTE]The face is equal in scale with the Majestic/Amok Time heads, though the hair is more accurate 70's and much larger.
The master with other heads for sizing. The head here is not as low as it was finally made, as shown above.

2014 UPDATE
Apollo is being cast right now with 6 other WGP heads. He should be ready within a month. Boomer's master is being reprinted for the third time this weekend! He was supposed to be done with Apollo but the first one broke, the second one's neck was just a hair too small to be made neckless. This third one should be fine.
With the Galactica heads are more or less being commissioned by me, for me, because before there was not much support, these three heads (besides an unreleased tweaked long haired smiling SB) are all we have sculpted right now for Galactica. I will personally commission more Galactica heads for myself eventually, but support is the difference between between my being able to commission just Athena this year, or also maybe four more other Galactica figures, so showing these around on other sites is very important if you get any. Serena is likely going to happen however since a 70's Jane Seymore has gotten positive feedback because of her 007 Live and Let Die role as well.
Right now I am about to commission a few Galactica ceremonial outfits (detailed accurate quilted flight suit with cape) so I hope to debut all three male warriors in costume to help sell them as well. Still working on how we'll do the necklaces. Once we work out how to do the buckles, we will offer the flight jackets as well.
My goal is to really kick-*** with the 2014 Galactica range and do the three female viper pilots (Athena, Sheba, and Serena), then I want to do Baltar and Lucifer. Lucifer WILL have a light-up dome. I have researched how we can do that. Any characters beyond that is icing on the cake. I REALLY want to do some Ovions and proper Cylons a some point as well.
Right now my biggest dilemma is if we were to eventually offer gunbelts, how to pull them off without them being factory made because a proper gunbelt needs to have three rivets/grommets in it and those aren't easy to find in any quantity at all in 1:6. Not much was accurate on the Amok Time ones so I personally would hate to use those. The web belts were wrong, having only two grommets, the holsters were incorrect, the style seemingly just made up. Ideas are welcome.
