There's a guy over on the Starship Modeler forum that is saying Moebius has a Battlestar Galactica sign hanging up in their booth. Of course, he gives no more information than that.

So, maybe the House of Hobbies web master really wasn't smoking crack after all!

Now that's just plain "SHOCKING", in a very good way. Now any word on the
J-2 kit??????:wave:

Outstanding. I want a Galactica in a big, stupid scale! Well, as big of a scale that's feasible. Truly good times for sci-fi modelers! Speaking of which, has there been any mention of size yet or too early to say?

1/32, to stay the same scale as the TOS Viper and Cylon Raider.

Matching scale is the initial plan, if things go well with it, we would be happy to go bigger at some point.

Thanks for the updates Frank and Dave!

In Regards to Galactica,...Does that inlude the Original Series as well???

Not right away of course, but a bigger accurate model of the Galactica herself(original series version), would be welcome!:thumbsup:



High Regards,

This is the best model news I have heard in years!! I was beginning to give up hope that I would ever see New series Galactica kits in plastic. The Fact that Moebius has the license is absolutely fantastic!!
Now, I can only hope and pray for a BIG kit of the Galactica herself!!

Just want to get a big "THANKS!" out to Frank and Dave for getting the New-Brand Galactica license. I think there's a lot of people out there who will go for this in a big way, and it should be a huge, and deserved, success for Moebius. Between finally honoring the past with the great Irwin Allen kits to the here and now with a popular and critical success like Galactica, it's really satisfying to have a company that actually *gets it* and makes the right moves!

Now, about that Stingray kit...:p

Lee just repoped the Doyusha Stingray..............go forth and build!

Seeing the BSG logo on the Moebius table was extremely exciting.

I can't wait.

Heres hoping for an eventual 1/2500 Galactica.

This is VERY good news! A Raider and a Raptor to go with that Viper would be great! And if there's enough interest, a blackbird as well! I'd love to see some Nu BSG Cylons and maybe a Razor Guardian Cylon in 1/8 or 1/6 scale too.

Basically, I have been telling everyone at the show we plan it this way:

MkII
Galactica
Raider
MkVII

If we can go forward from there, and there is interest, a Raptor would be next. From there, it all depends on sales numbers....

You just made my day!
Thank you!!!

My 2 cents

I am eagerly awaiting the Viper Mk II. It is an excellent choice for the first kit (just like FMs X-wing was first).

BSG (the old girl herself) next is right in line. As long as she is around 12-14" long I'll probably grab one of those also (but I'm not as inclined to do the biggies as I am the fighters).

Cylon Raider next is also the right choice (IMHO). Especially if there is a dedicated Scar head included. (And Star Buck decals is a no brainer).

However, I'd welcome a Raptor BEFORE a Mk VII Viper. I think there is more that can be done with a Raptor (hatch open, closed, passengers, dioramas, etc) than with a Mk VII. In fact, I don't have much of an interest in the Mk VII at all. I know it looks cool, but it doesn't grab me like the Mk II or the Raptor. In fact, most of the key storylines involving fighters used Mk IIs (Kara's crash, hooking Apollo, Apollo's attack on the refinery, looking for Kara, Starbucks "clean" Viper, "Husker", etc, etc). The Mk VIIs are limited (Apollo's arrival, the first encounter, Pegasus wing with loads of kill marks -- that's about it). I know there are plenty of people that will buy the Mk VII (and it should be made), but I think the Raptor is a bit more essential.

Then after those 4 (Mk II, BSG, Raider, Raptor) are out of the way Moebius could continue with round 2

Viper Mk VII, Pegasus, Cylon Basestar, Colonial One

I'd also be interested in a figure set: Starbuck, Apollo, Boomer, Tyrol, Adama, Cally (if not from Moebius then some good resin sculptor)

To sum up HORRAY FOR MOEBIUS!!! (and Raptor before Mk VII)

Cheers

Really pleased that Moebius is picking up the Galactica license (I am assuming it is just the new series).

I am also surprised that the Raptor would be so far down the list. I would rank it just behind the Mk. II As someone else has mentioned, it would potentially lend itself to all sorts of opportunities for display.

Not sure how far along in the design process this project is, but it might be an interesting add-on for the Colonial ships to include some support equipment as part of the tooling.

Looking forward to this, but really surprised that the Raptor would be so far down the list.

Me, I don't care for the raptor - I'd definitely prefer a Mk VII first.

I think I prefer the original ships but I could be tempted by this. Hope it has a pilot figure too.

I'm not surprised the Raptor is further down the list. Personally, I'd rather see the fighters & Battlestars/Baseships before a raptor.

As far as figures, we have no license to do anything other than scale to the ships we produce. Except for the Centurion in any size up to 1/6.

For the Raptor, we have it last as it is the most expensive to tool. When you look at the size/detail compared to Vipers or even Galactica, it will be much more of a project. This can all change very easily, as first kit will be some time off yet!

Basically, I have been telling everyone at the show we plan it this way:

The Bucket is nothing without the Beast... I`ld love to see a PEGASUS before a Raider or the MKVII.

Well I thought the 60s were the golden age of modeling. With what Moebius has produced so far and whats coming up I need to restate "This is the new golden age of modeling".
I'm afraid to plan any new scratch builds as someone may announce it's release in kit form.
Still what would make my world rock is that orange ship with gray stripes about 24" long!
Thanks Moebius!

I know it's still very early to ask this but I'm sure the Galactica herself is at least in the planning stages since you said it would be the second kit out of the gate.

Do you have an idea as to the scale yet? I think a lot of us are hoping for 1/2500.
The fact that Moebius puts a tremendous amount of thought into their kits and actually listens to the people that build them, I hope the Galactica will be designed with some lighting in mind and the starboard flight pod can be built with and without the glass.

Beyond that, obviously, the more detail the better.

Me, I don't care for the raptor - I'd definitely prefer a Mk VII first.





I'm not fussed on the raptor either. I'd prefer one of the bigger ships to go with the Galactica.

I'm not surprised the Raptor is further down the list. Personally, I'd rather see the fighters & Battlestars/Baseships before a raptor.


Have to agree. I think the raptor's a bit boring.

Except for the Centurion in any size up to 1/6.

Yes, please!!!

Can we have the Galactica in 1/2500? It would be neat to park beside the JJ-Prise.

To sum up HORRAY FOR MOEBIUS!!! (and Raptor before Mk VII)
I agree with everything said here!! This is such amazing news!!! thanks so much for aquiring this license!!!

As for figures, I'd love to see some of the classic looking "Razor" Cylons first (that chrome finish would be so much fun!). My second choice for a figure is Boomer. Yummy! :cool:

I can definitely see how a Raptor with fully decked out interior could be really cool, but I still prefer to get the Mk VII first. I really dig the Mk VII.

Actually, if I had my way, We'd be getting the Pegasus, Valkyrie, Cylon Basestar and First Cylon War version of the Raider before the Raptor. So you Raptor fans should be glad that I'm not calling the shots! ;)

OH THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I've been waiting for really good kits of BSG for a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGG time.

Between this and the J2, I can now pass on to the great beyond with a smile on my face ... after I build the kits, of course!

Frank, thanks for the explanation on the Raptor. Given the greater interior detail I can understand where this might be a more complex kit.

Do you get to work from the CGI rendering files for the ships ?

More GREAT Moebius news! Woo hoo!

In order, my preferences would be:

Galactica
Raider
New cylon 1:6 scale (The toy figures that were released skyrocketed out of sight in price, and are very hard to find now)
Base Star
Viper

OMG!!!! :thumbsup::):hat::p:wave:

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!!

Excellent!!!!!!

Hopefully, the Mk. II and VII will have landing gear and Pilot figures. (Like the fine mold stuff, in both the seated and standing positions)

Definatly the Galactica in 1/2500.

If popular. I'd like to see the Vipers, Raptor and Raider in 1/72.
Perhaps each could come with a section of hangar deck with gear.
Each base interlocks to form a complete section of hangar deck.

A stand idea for the raider could be the rack they had it on in the hangar deck.

MkII, Galactica, Raider and MkVII. I'd be happy with that, but I'd like to see the Raptor and Colonial One done too. Finally I'd truly be happy for a Galactica shuttle. Like in the original series it showed up once or twice, but it's still a key ship of the line (up).

I'm wondering if we'll see a BIG Galactica, the size of the Seaview? Much as I prefer the original Galactica design over the new show, THAT would be AWESOME!

great idea about the bases Tepes
and without the bucket, there would be no beast...........

I want a 1,000 naked Boomers dioarama kit! :D

Like I said earlier, It's still very early but I hope someone from Moebius chimes in soon to give us a hint of things to come!

they allready did.............

Yeah, they already told us the first four kits out of the gate, what else do ya want?

Sorry I was not specific enough. I would like to know what may be included with the Viper (landing gear, etc..) and if there is a planned scale for the Galactica?
I know we're not talking about the J2 here but I'm really looking forward to these kits so please excuse my enthusiasm.

I am in for several of each! Gotta keep my dozen Monogram (yes Monogram)
TOS Vipers, 8 raiders, 6 Galacticas, and 6 Basestars company.

I keep tellin my wife she is gonna have a heck of a 'Max has died' sale on her hands someday!:jest:

Max, that is one impressive collection!

Bobby, I don't think they even know at this point what will be included in the kits. I'm pretty sure they just confirmed the deal!

Steve

Steve

Thanks, Steve! Yeah, I'll admit, it's way to early to be asking these questions. I'll tell you though, I thought I would never see the day and I'm really happy that Moebius pursued the license!

The more I think about it, the less enthused I am.. probably because I keep thinking about the finale, which really was a disapointment to me.

3 years ago, I would have been all over them, but If I had my choices, I'd prefer a 28" long original Galactica over the newer version. Guess the new series didn't replace the old Galactica in my heart...

1/32, to stay the same scale as the TOS Viper and Cylon Raider.IIRC, Monogram's TOS Cylon Raider kit is closer to 1/48 scale.

I'm looking forward to the Viper MkII and the Galactica (as long as it's comparable in size to the Monogram TOS kit; too much larger, and I'm out simply because I don't have the room), and the Raider if they get to it; I didn't particularly like any of the other ships.

We're definitely not that far ahead yet. As soon as we have something more confirmed we will post.
