This is the Cylon action figure from the Battlestar Galactica line of figures, released in 1978 or 1979 by Mattel.
That information is more than I knew about this figure when I got one as a kid....
Robot looking figure with a rifle that had a bayonet on the end of it....
Some Bad guy from a show that starred Lorne Green......
NAAAA.....
This had to be the leader of the Stormtroopers! The only other figure that had Vader's respect and would carry out the orders given to him. This was the second in command of the Empire! The Glorious ULTIMATE STORMTROOPER!!!!
Yep. To this day I have never seen Battlestar Galactica and have no idea what a Cylon really is. I even typed Cyclon a bunch of times and took em out in edit. This was a cool looking, bad guy that could be used in Star Wars play and that's where he got his fame. I even had Starbuck and Lorne Green's figure and they became Rebel extras. This guy became more. He became part of Star Wars. He went further.......
I know I'm not the only one. YOU did it too. Admit it. They should just package this figure in a Star Wars card and put it out cause every would go.......yeah, that's what I did with mine.
and you did too.
