As the primary space superiority fighter of the Twelve Colonies, the Colonial Viper represented humanity's best hope for survival during their desperate flight from the Cylon Empire.

Product Description:
The Battlestar Galactica 1978 Colonial Viper MkI Electronic Vehicle with Lieutenant Boomer Action Figure is a must-have for collectors and fans of the groundbreaking science fiction series. Measuring an impressive 17 inches in length with an 8-inch wingspan and standing 6 inches tall, this substantial vehicle captures the iconic Colonial Viper in remarkable detail at a scale designed to accommodate 3 3/4-inch action figures. Every aspect of the Viper's distinctive design has been faithfully recreated, from the twin engine nacelles and sleek fuselage to the cockpit canopy and weapons systems. The vehicle's construction balances durability for play with the detail and accuracy that collectors demand, making it suitable for both display and interactive enjoyment.
What makes this Colonial Viper truly special is the comprehensive array of electronic features that bring the vehicle to life. Operated by the included remote control, the Viper features a light-up cockpit that illuminates when activated, recreating the glow of the instrument panels and controls as seen in the series. The "Turbo Boost" effect simulates the Viper's acceleration during combat maneuvers, while the launch sequence effect recreates the dramatic moment when Vipers scramble from the Galactica's launch tubes. The laser cannon effects provide authentic sound and light simulation of the Viper's weapons fire during dogfights with Cylon Raiders. These features transform the vehicle from a static display piece into an interactive experience that captures the excitement of the show's space combat sequences.
The vehicle's design includes thoughtful features for both play and display. The detailed opening cockpit features a canopy that lifts to reveal the pilot's seat and interior controls, allowing you to position the included Lieutenant Boomer figure at the controls. The cockpit interior shows attention to detail with sculpted instruments and panels that reference the show's production design. The removable landing gear provides display versatility—attach the gear for a landed configuration showing the Viper on a flight deck or hangar bay, or remove it for a flight display using the included stand. The display stand allows you to position the Viper in dynamic flight poses, creating dramatic presentations that capture the vehicle in action.
The exclusive Lieutenant Boomer action figure included with this set is a significant addition for Battlestar Galactica collectors. Standing 3 3/4 inches tall, Lieutenant Boomer is fully articulated and comes with a complete set of accessories. The removable pilot helmet allows you to display Boomer either in full flight gear or with helmet off, showing the character's face. The holster and blaster represent the standard Colonial Warrior sidearm carried by all pilots, while the leg computer recreates the wrist-mounted device used for communication and data access. Boomer can be posed standing beside the Viper, seated in the cockpit, or displayed separately, providing multiple presentation options.
Lieutenant Boomer, portrayed by Herbert Jefferson Jr. in the original series, was one of the show's most popular characters and a pioneering representation in 1970s science fiction television. As one of Captain Apollo's closest friends and most trusted wingmen, Boomer flew countless missions and proved his courage and skill again and again. The character's inclusion in this set acknowledges his importance to the series and provides fans with a figure that has been difficult to find in this scale and level of detail.
The Colonial Viper requires 5 AAA batteries total for full operation—3 batteries for the vehicle's electronic features and 2 batteries for the remote control. Batteries are not included with the set. The remote control system allows you to activate the various light and sound effects from a distance, making it ideal for creating dynamic displays or play scenarios. The vehicle's construction uses durable plastic that can withstand handling while maintaining the detail and finish expected by collectors.
This attention to both screen accuracy and interactive features shows Factory Entertainment's deep appreciation for Battlestar Galactica and its enduring legacy in science fiction. The original series, despite running for only one season, left an indelible mark on the genre with its epic scope, compelling characters, and groundbreaking visual effects. The Colonial Viper became as iconic as the X-wing or TIE fighter, representing humanity's determination to survive and fight back against overwhelming odds. Whether you're a longtime Battlestar Galactica collector building your Colonial Fleet, a fan of classic science fiction vehicles, or simply appreciate detailed replicas with electronic features that bring fictional spacecraft to life, this Colonial Viper MkI with Lieutenant Boomer figure deserves a place in your collection.
