A light-up, life-size Cylon replica from the series Battlestar Galactica, created by Fred Barton Productions. Cylons wore armor as they betrayed their pact with human civilization and destroyed their fleet ships.
Gaining a cult following after its initial run, Battlestar Galactica eventually grew into a significant science fiction franchise, with video games, comics, theme park attractions, and the critically-acclaimed 2004 reimagining.
This lot is a 1 of 1 custom piece by Fred Barton. It consists of a black and gray resin 3-D printed Cylon decorated in vinyl stickers with metal armature hands covered in black leather and nylon gloves with foil-wrapped foam cuffs, a red acrylic eye strip encased in the helmet, a metal chain and black acrylic chip skirt with a nylon and resin belt, and a gray polyurethane sword wrapped in foil. This Cylon is primed with a black acrylic and resin blaster. The red strip in the helmet lights up when powered through the power strip protruding from the right foot. It comes mounted to a wooden base featuring the film sticker. This lot exhibits tearing material on the gloves and cuffs, as well as wrinkling foil on the sword.
