Battlestar Galactica 3.75" figures and Viper

Yeah, I think these are going to be idealized versions of the 1978 TV show props. But I am still amazed that we are getting ANYTHING old school BSG, including new figures (2 lines!) and a scaled Viper! There were the crazy He-Man inspired Trendmasters mid 1990s releases, the Joyride studios and Bif-Bang-Pow! releases in the 2000s and the early 2010s, but they were gone just as quickly. Just my 2 cents:
1) Those new Cylon figures will be mine
2) Are the 3.75 inch figures going to be wide release that I can pick up for $10 at Target, or exclusive limited runs at $30 each?! And will will get a full line of characters, or just a half dozen?
3) They should show some love for the female cast!

Well, considering that "3.75 inch action figure scale" is somewhere around 1:19 scale (approximately), if you knew how long a full-size Viper is supposed to be, you could do a rough estimate.
OR, using one of the photos...
The gold Cylon appears to be positioned on the same plane as the Viper. If the Cylons are the same size as the Colonial figures, we can use that as a unit of 3.75 inches. So a little over 5 Cylons long.
5 Cylons would be 18.75 inches, so I would guesstimate somewhere around 19 to 20 inches for the Viper?

I agree on the female characters. I need a Sheba figure. There is something about that 70s warm, earth tone look. Star Trek The Motion Picture has some of that look as well. And I vaguely remember similar feelings from malls and hotels from the day, perhaps Disney World too.
But this is pretty much childhood nostalgia that we never got. I only had one or two Battlestar Galactica toys but I'm sure they never made a Viper with figures similar to the GI Joe line which is what I wanted. I would draw the Viper all the time.
I think a minimum of 1000.00 to 1500.00 and with their failure of not getting it right…..

Pretty great to have some Battlestar merch to look forward to! The props may not be perfect but they are the best that has been produced in a long time if not ever. I got to compare a screen used cubit to the ones their prototypes in person and they look pretty great. A tad oversized by light years better than anything I've ever seen produced outside of a screen used casting.

The viper prototype looks pretty great in person. I know they are making a few changes before it goes into production but holy smoke. Everything seems like it will be competitively prices so that's nice.

Not wanting to watch an entire video for the info that takes 3 seconds to type, how much is the viper supposed to be?
They have not released the price point yet. But it will be cheaper than this one.

If this line does get approved I hope for a Cylon Raider.
