My gosh, how many YEARS did it take Diamond Select Toys and me to finally make this simple scene from Battlestar Galactica? I’ve at last completed the “Helo defends the woman-he-thinks-is-Boomer against a Cylon” shadowbox:

(Answer: about 2 years — they are really slow in releasing figures, as evidenced by the fact that the show is now off the air and they’re only just getting to Boomer/Eight).

And yes, I recognize that Helo is being macho, posturing himself as the defender of Boomer, who is totally able to take care of herself.

Sidenote: To get this Boomer figure, which is a Toys R Us exclusive, I had to order a non-existent Tigh figure which had the same product number as Boomer, and then hope that they wouldn’t realize the mistake until after it had been shipped. I lucked out. Such are the complexities of the action figure world.
