This officially licensed action figure brings the charismatic Colonial Warrior—portrayed by Dirk Benedict in the classic 1978 television series Battlestar Galactica—to your collection with authentic detail and classic 3 3\/4-inch scale articulation. As one of the Galactica's top Viper pilots and Captain Apollo's best friend, Starbuck was known for his quick wit, gambling prowess, way with the ladies, and unshakeable confidence in the cockpit. Whether flying dangerous combat missions against Cylon Raiders, charming his way out of trouble, or risking everything on a game of Pyramid, Starbuck embodied the roguish hero archetype that made him a fan favorite. Behind the cocky exterior lay a brave warrior who would sacrifice anything for his friends and the survival of humanity. This 3 3\/4-inch figure captures Starbuck in his iconic Colonial Warrior flight suit, complete with removable helmet and all the equipment of an elite Viper pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBattlestar Galactica captivated audiences in 1978 with its epic story of humanity's desperate flight from extinction, and Lieutenant Starbuck stood as one of its most beloved characters. A skilled pilot with a reputation for bending rules and taking risks, Starbuck flew countless missions alongside Apollo, forming one of science fiction's most memorable friendships. His romantic entanglements—particularly with socialator Cassiopeia and later with journalist Aurora—provided lighter moments amid the series' darker themes of survival and loss. Yet when the chips were down, Starbuck proved himself a hero time and again, whether leading rescue missions, going undercover on Cylon-occupied worlds, or flying impossible odds to protect the fleet. His famous luck seemed supernatural at times, leading some to wonder if the Lords of Kobol watched over their favorite gambler. This figure recreates Starbuck's distinctive appearance with screen-accurate costume details and the accessories that defined his role as a Colonial Warrior, allowing collectors to display one of the Ragtag Fleet's most essential defenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eItem Specifics:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Battlestar Galactica (1978) Wave 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lieutenant Starbuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dirk Benedict\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 3\/4-inch scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3.75 inches (9.52 cm) tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Action Figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 13 points of articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable pilot helmet, Holster, Blaster, Leg computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCostume:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screen-accurate Colonial Warrior flight suit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5060224088203\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New \u0026amp; Factory Sealed in Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retro-inspired window box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio:\u003c\/strong\u003e NBC Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e Battlestar Galactica\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Battlestar Galactica 1978 Lieutenant Starbuck 3 3\/4-Inch Action Figure is a must-have for collectors and fans of the classic science fiction series.
