Will we see Starbuck from the new BSG as a small figure for the viper or as a figure kit?

not likely... there may be a generic pilot fig - no identifiable human characters from the show at this time...

Absolutely no identifiable figures.

How about a burned Starbuck corpse for that crash scene diorama? :D

Absolutely no identifiable figures.

I guess it's because there's an added royalty to be paid for the actor's likeness?

That's too bad BSG producers won't make it easy or inexpensive. The license holders don't realize they would sell more kits if Starbuck was included or was on the box cover.

A generic pilot figure would be appreciated, Dave. Gotta have one for an in-flight display. :)

I second that John P

Also, if possible a clear head and cockpit to light up also would do wonders!:thumbsup:

I'd need a clear head to do lighting!
Unfortunately I haven't had a clear head since the early 1980s.

I'm sure someone will do a resin starbuck/apollo/adama for those that have to have one.

Looking forward to the kit, glad to see it will include a pilot! At that scale, with the helmet on, any likeness would be hard to see anyways...

HEY! I just figured out why the Starbuck in the new Galactica is a woman! It's because of the woman on the Starbucks' cups!!!!! Wooo-hooo!

One thing to remember on this is it is 1/32. We have a pilot figure, and in this scale I really don't think you can tell who it is. Especially in a helmet!

Is it a female pilot figure? If yes, the figure will be a more curvy.

And they had a lot of female pilots on BSG so you can avoid the identifiable aspect and yet builders can modify it to Starbuck (with a nametag on viper and vest?)

No female pilot, but I would bet someone will be making decal sheets.
