Battlestar Galactica exploded onto the scene in 1978, picking up the interest of adults and kids interested in sci-fi and space battles. It had a movie release and a single season of television but there was a decent attempt at merchandise tie-ins with action figures, games, larger 12″ figures, model kits, plus small toy ships like the Colonial Viper. Star Wars and to a lesser extent Micronauts were capturing our toy dollars in 1978 to 1979 so we only got the single Viper toy form that line. It got a lot of play, including in the outdoors but is pretty well cleaned up. I have the main action figures, but have held onto those so no photos here.
