BIF BANG POW Battlestar Galactica 8 Inch 2013 SDCC Retro Tin Tote

The original Battlestar Galactica television show was great in that it allowed kids at the time to experience space fantasy, in the time before VHS and Beta tapes, and especially after Star Wars. The uniforms were cool. The space ships were cool. The bad guys (Cylons) were bad ass.

I remember my mom taking my brother and I and some friends to see the motion picture when it first came out. All I remember is how loud the speakers were, and the Ovions, because one of the guys with us told the girls who were with us, "don't let the Ovions bite" when we dropped them off after the movie.

Anyway, I have been looking for good deals on the BBP Battlestar Galactica figures. I managed to grab this tin tote collector's set for about $10. It comes with the weird 4-eye, 2 mouth singer, Boxey, and Muffit, the daggit. It's odd that Muffit, the "dog" comes standing up. But the weird singer chick is classic.

The tin tote has some great illustrations around it as well.

I took all the "musical" figures from the Simpsons Celebrity series for a musical festival. Can you name them all.

NECA Simpsons Celebrity Series 4

The long awaited Aerosmith set. I was hoping NECA would eventually get to this band if the Celebrity series sold well. Lo' and behold, here we are. Series 4 had a great lineup - the five member Aerosmith band, Elvis Costello, Buzz Aldrin, Weird Al Yankovich, and Tom Jones, Also included were a few members of Springfield - including Marge Simpson (going to work), Otto Man, and Homer Simpson (from That 90s Show). A very musical bunch.
