The latest ToyFare has a two-page interview with Chuck and he said that AFX would have Helo, Previews will have Black Dress Six and Suncoast/FYE will have Anders.
He said that they will hopefully be out in August with wave 2 at the end of the year if all goes well. Also of note, the pilots will have removable gloved hands and helmets. Apollo will have the lighter and a cigar, Hotdog will come with playing cards, and Chief with a wrench.
Lastly, he said there could be a chance of both Classic minimates and figures.

Thing is, that Sucoast/FYE Anders sucks for me since they've all closed in my area. He's one I'm really looking forward to. I'm really hoping that's some sort of miscommunication (wouldn't be the first with ToyFare), seeing as how Suncoast/FYE seemed to get out of selling figures. Maybe he'll be an exclusive elsewhere more attainable.
AFX Helo, no problem.

As odd as it sounds the FYE by me started selling WWE figures just recently. I walked in and almost fell over in surprise. Maybe they are trying to get back into the selling of figures. Honestly I didnt even know Suncoast was still open!

It would be great if they got into Classic figures too. I have been waiting for realy good and acurate classic figures for many many years.

I wish DST would release more photos of the figures, maybe even solicit them for pre-orders. We already have a long wait for the release, it would be nice to at least see them and get our orders in.

Personally, I'd like to find out if Chief Tyrol is going to be a mail away or con figure? Just in case I need to buy four others to get him.

Don't forget there are just as many people who say they'll buy them all plus multiples then not buy a single one. I was just saying these old photos are giving some the false impression that's the amount of articulation these figures will have and making them think twice about purchasing them. You and I know they'll have more articulation, but so many others don't seem to have that common sense or looked at the prototype artwork. I was unaware of the complaints about the SG figures because I don't follow that show.
I agree with your statement about the Marvel Legends; there's such a thing as too much articulation. That weird mid-section joint along the ribcage and chest on the ToyBiz figures always bugged me. As you said, all those joints wouldn't match the look and feel of the show. I'll be happy if the BSG figures have enough articulation to make a nice action pose, or portrait pose; they'll just be grouped on my shelf anyway.
Articulation aside, what I don't understand is how the BSG line isn't being kept in the public eye as the SG and Star Trek figures have been, with small pieces of news and occasional photos, just to keep interest stirred. I saw the ToyFare interview mentioned in only one place; right here. Likewise, action-figue.com is the only site with the case break down and new date. The latest E-Spectrum was all about SG figures and telling us to check the site Monday for more details. With TNG Wave 4, there was a front page story on the DST site. No figure pics, just photos of the actors, but at least they said who was in the series and when to expect them. Why don't they do something like that for BSG; just to remind people? There doesn't seem to be a lot of collectors excited about this line, mainly because information is so sparse, and they seem to have forgotten these are even coming. Maybe I'm just getting antsy because I'm looking forward to these so much
There are people who watch BSG who usually don't watch scifi genre shows, as well as us typical sci fi geeks, so you're right, this line has the potential to be one of the most popular lines DST has ever done. So far, I like what I've seen, even the early prototypes. There are so many characters and variants that could be done, simply with the same head swap technique used on the Trek figures. I'm not worried about the sales; if someone whines and doesn't want to buy them, feh, their loss. I'm hoping the line runs for a long while!
