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.
