I’ll admit to being an old school “Battlestar” fan, more knowledgeable about the original series than the new. But when I saw this Cylon figure hanging on the pegs at my local Toys R’ Us, i had to pick it up. It has enough of the old look mixed with the new to please the old school fans such as myself.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank my wife. She came to WonderCon with me, braved the ticket line 6 times, and finally drew the red ticket that let me buy this set. I feel for the folks who endured the pain of this at San Diego last year. If you worked for that set of five Hals, you really earned it.
