CLASSIC ART: DEADLY PATROLLERS...

 

There's nothing more ominous to run into than a lethal hunting pack of Cylon Raiders, as seen in this terrific cover art for Mattel's big-selling Cylon Raider toy for the original series back in 1978. The art was once again provided for the memorable range by the toy company's excellent regular box artist, Otto Kuhni.

CLASSIC ART: IN THE DEPTHS OF SPACE...

 

Speeding through space on a mission for the Battlestar Galactica and its Rag-Tag fleet is the Colonial Stellar Probe and satellite, searching the heavens for the lost Thirteenth Tribe whilst also keeping humanity safe from the pursuant Cylons.

Great art by Otto Kuhni for the 1978/79 evolving MATTEL US toy range of Galactica vehicles. It was also released internationally, and in numerous UK toy shops by 1979/80.

CLASSIC ART: COLONIAL SCARAB READY TO ATTACK!

Though not seen in the original series, the Colonial Scarab vehicle/launcher toy was nonetheless a big success within the colourful toy range created by Mattel during 1978, and was surely well used by young fans indulging in imaginative and heroic battles against the Cylons. 

Lovely toy box art from regular Mattel toy artist contributor Otto Kuhni.
