Looks Like Diamond Select is coming out with a new Cylon Mini Bust. Gentle Giant sculpted this one. Looks great, a real step up from the previous one.

Not Your Parents' Cylon...

Today Diamond Select Toys is ready to reveal one of the upcoming busts in the ongoing line of Battlestar Galactica collectibles. Possibly the most terrifying addition to this Reimagined series, the deadly Cylon Centurions are capable of untold death and destruction thanks to their talon-like claws and fondness for double-barreled machine guns. Now you too can construct an army of near-unstoppable Cylon warriors with this Battlestar Galactica Cylon Centurion Bust!

Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios
Limited to 2,000 pieces
Measures 6 ¼ inches tall

Each Cylon Centurion Bust features a numbered base with matching box and Certificate of Authenticity. Look for pre-orders on this item to begin this November and keep coming back to Diamond Select Toys for more updates and sneak peeks at upcoming products!

That thing looks pretty nice. I'm kind of worried about that "limited to 2000 pieces" part, though. I'm gonna have to see if it is up for preorder; I'd hate to pay ebay scalper prices for it.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Very cool, I want one

Neat! The first bust was quite nice. But where is his other arm? LOL!

I never understood why they made these busts with no arms or one arm. I know technically a bust shouldn't have arms (actually I always thought a bust was shoulders up), but if you're doing waist up there should be arms in there somewhere!

I was wondering if his other arm is just hidden in that picture. I haven't seen too many one armed mini busts.

Since it is sculpted by Gentle Giant, I would think it would have two arms, the other might be behind it. That being said, Gentle Giant Started Star Wars line with no arms, then the first Vader and the Boba Fett had one arm, so this might be similar. I am hoping not as if it has the arm behind it, gives more display options. hopefully there will be some more pictures of more angles, when the preorders come out on this, I will definitely preorder.

Collector newb question: how much do these mini busts usually go for?

wraith1701 · October 16, 2007, 12:35:33 PM

The regular (Star Wars) Gentle Giant mini-busts average around $45 to $65 when first released. Depending on the popularity of the piece, some can go for a little higher on the secondary market. If I'm not mistaken, this looks like the same size as the GG mini busts. If the "limited edition" doesn't factor into the price, I'd guess the new Cylon will be around $65.

Oh wow, that's pretty reasonable. I was thinking they'd be a couple of hundred.
