Thanks gang! Dorgmal still needs to finish casting the Indys before he casts these, (and he's on vacation for a week), but these Dragon versions are next up.

Looking good. I'll be in for the Hot Toys heads when they come available. Are you still doing Boomer, Athena and Sheba?
Uniforms and Helmets?

As long as the forum interest is there per character we want to do them all. Boomer is already sculpted awaiting printing. We have resolved how to get the Colonial ornamental trim produced which was my biggest concern for the costumes.

Oh man, these look great! LOL, I forgot I even signed up for them way back when. Can't wait to get my hands on these and upgrade my Majestic Starbuck and Apollo!
It's been asked already but, when, where, how do we pay?

When the Dragon versions are ready to ship is in Dorgmals court now. Maybe a month? Just a guestimate. He is on vacation for a week, then needs to finish casting all of our Indys before he can move on to the Galacticas.
With the Galactica Dragon heads next up to be cast, you can start sending payments in for those whenever since we know those will be soon. I will PM the people asking for payment details with our Paypal addy. PLEASE make sure you write your forum handle in the notes and what you are ordering for our record keeping.
Thanks gang!

I think the Majestic figures were made on Sideshow knock-off bodies so they should be the same.
Will the Dragon heads fit on a SSC Buck? Just wondering, cuz Mad Ol Lu proved that the Majestic/Amok Time outfits look great on the Buck:

That looks pretty good. Who were these uniforms done by? Where can I find?
Pics? I'd go ahead and start picking these up if that works.

Thats the Amok Time/Majestic uniform. I personally hate it, but then I really hated their figure. Very poor material quality. The shirts don't have the trademark quilted fronts, the trousers look like giant clown pants and their felt jacket is about 3 sizes too big.
I think the Galactica uniforms are the coolest sci-fi outfits ever and deserve a better treatment than that. Before you order you might want to Google other angles.

Re: WGP's Classic Battlestar Galactica thread (TAKING CHARACTER INTEREST LISTS)
Yeah, they aren't super great, but pretty good for what they cost. Definitely excited to see the WGP uniforms though.
The Majestic/Amok Time bodies are ok, but a little weird. The forearms are definitely too long and they have no wrist articulation. I only ask about the Buck because I think the gear looks pretty good on it and I have a few lying around. The Buck isn't perfect, but a step up from the Majestic body and about the same scale. I'll give it a try at least, mostly I am just excited to upgrade those God awful Majestic headsculpts with these awesome WGP ones!

I will try and remember to take a couple when I get home. I also did a mod to the jacket to make it gather at the bottom more like in the show and remove the excess padding from the shoulders.

Re: WGP's Classic Battlestar Galactica thread (TAKING CHARACTER INTEREST LISTS)
This 1:6 scale stuff is so wonky. I thought Majestic were supposed to be larger than Hot Toys. Yep, oversized felt jackets, baggy pants, and non-quilted shirts certainly doesn't sound like what I'd be looking for. Rick if you're going to be making these I'll definitely hold for more accurate representations. Put me down for three males if you're making a list--Apollo, Starbuck and Boomer-HT size. What's the plan on the helmets? If you make Sheba will she have a Pegasus helmet? I'm of interested in the females as well.

Re: WGP's Classic Battlestar Galactica thread (TAKING CHARACTER INTEREST LISTS)
Just to mess you up, Sideshow bodies are quite a bit bigger than Hot Toys bodies.
Shebas uniform had a different helmet, patches, and pins for the Pegasus version. The uniform WGP are making will be her Galactican one, (as long as she gets enough people interested to make her). I just got done watching the series again last week and I am pretty sure her helmet switched like her uniform did once she joined the Galactica crew (but please speak up if I am wrong), so the helmet would be Galactican.

Re: WGP's Classic Battlestar Galactica thread (TAKING CHARACTER INTEREST LISTS)
The scale thing between these companies has been quite disconcerting. As far as Sheba, which will hopefully get made, I'd likely pick up an extra helmet to have modded into a Pegasus version. The patches and pins are less of an issue.
I think you'd also mentioned that Athena's bridge uniform is essentially a blue version of the pilot uniform less the jacket. Are you also going to do white versions?
And if you needed an incentive to make female pilots.
