Battlestar Galactica Poster Art

Please give a warm welcome to my latest obsession, 70s poster art sets. As a young lad I ruined many of these with my lack of both talent and patience. I’ve been secretly admiring these on Ebay until one bout of sleeplessness resulted in a surprise parcel in the form of this set and it […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica: Adventure Activiy Book by Grosset and Dunlap I stumbled on this book over the holidays and that’s good because i didn’t know it even existed prior to that. The artwork is credited to Tony Tallarico, a busy guy in comics and coloring books in the 60s and 70s (most famously for drawing those […]

Cylon Voice Control Helmet

As far as I can tell, this toy never saw release. It was offered by a division of Mattel known as Concept 2000 and it gave kids the ability to talk like a cyclon when placed upon their heads. I’m a pretty casual BSG fan but the fact that this didn’t get made kind of […]

Vintage Toys I saw this weekend

This past Sunday I set up at Burlington Toy Show, mostly to hang out with friends and eat food that’s not good for me but also to hopefully earn some money for next week’s Mego Meet toy show. It was hard being good but I took photos instead of buying, above is easily the rarest toy […]

PodStallions 16: Buck or Starbuck?

Galactica Cruiser

These little ships knocked around under a different bunch of names before Galactic. My dad sold them with a weird generic sci fi card that I’m going insane trying to find.

Cylon Socks

Yep, two days of Battlestar Galactica themed items, you have died and gone to heaven. I think I finally found something even dorkier than these. There is just something so odd about trying to make tube socks cool.. I also love the wonderful merging of themes here, is this toy love or fashion mockery? Why, […]
