CLASSIC IMAGE: THE KRONUS ENCOUNTER!

Aboard the Galactica, Colonel Tigh's celebration of the stern Commander Kronus (Paul Fix) goes awry in all the wrong and embarrassing ways possible during the Celestra Commander's award ceremony, part of the memorable opening to Take the Celestra.

CLASSIC ART: DEATH TO THE OVIONS!

The classic Marvel Comics Galactica series had some very memorable action-orientated covers to win over readers, but here's one that sadly never made it, the original planned version for issue three, which was adapting Saga of a Star World, and sees our heroic Starbuck stealing the limelight as he fights the cannibal Ovions deep within their creepy lair on Carillon.

CLASSIC MERCHANDISE: CYLON GOLD!

My own personal favourite figure from the all too few line-up of classic series characters released by Mattel, the Cylon Centurion was in a class of its own, as showcased here in its gold-coloured 'Centurian Leader' form available originally as a mail-a-way (of the product/publicity kind similar to what was being done for the successful Star Wars toy range from Kenner) within advert promotions for Marvel comics and other publications into 1979. 

I don't recall that special figure being released in the UK, but if anyone can correct me on that, please get in touch...

CLASSIC IMAGE: FOR YOUR COLLECTION...

The clothes maketh the Colonial Warrior, as seen here with one of the original partial costumes and distinctive pilot helmets from the original series, created by the talented Jean-Pierre Dorleac, that was sold a few years back by the ever-hungry-for- product Prop Store auctions company. I'm sure it's in a dedicated collector's home somewhere being very well looked after.

CLASSIC IMAGE: POWER OF LIGHT, POWER OF DARKNESS!

Two powerful forces for good and evil meet in Commander Adama and Count Iblis, as Lorne Greene and Patrick Macnee share great character scenes together during the storytelling within the fan favourite War of the Gods.

CLASSIC IMAGE: CONVERGED TO ATTACK!

The newly-arrived Cylon Raider force from Borallus now assembles to seemingly surprise attack the lone Galactica with all the destructive might at its disposal, in a memorable effects shot from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: A STAR AMONGST STAR PATTERNS!

Adding some extra zest to being on the Galactica bridge, the gorgeous Cassiopeia helps us find our way across the heavens searching for Earth, in another glorious image making the most of Laurette Spang's beauty. An image captured during filming of Saga of a Star World.
