Finally! Fans of accurately molded and painted spaceship toys have had this Cylon Raider and the companion Viper on their wish lists forever. From the promo pics and photos of actual packages, this looks similar to the Star Wars Action Fleet toys, with even more detail paid to accuracy of scale. For example, the cockpit doesn't appear to have been oversized just to accommodate the tiny action figures.

It's the perfect size for play, with great play features like retractable gear and opening cockpit. If this thing is as durable as the sturdy Action Fleet, it's a no-brainer home run for fans of this toy genre.

Now, please bring us toys based on the new Battlestar Galactica.

This is pretty cool. There is a lot of detail, but the other reviewer was right. The paint job is a bit sloppy, and I had to use a nail file to pry my cockpit door open. But overall it's cool looking and pretty decent.

First off, the detail is great on this craft. Paint job is ok, very clean and neat. The plastic appears to be the same plastic as typical build it yourself models (as with such models, I would not recommend playing with it). Very nice that Joyride Studios did the assembly and paint work for you.

Here comes my disappointment... the model is seems glued together with super glue of sorts and the vapors coated one of the engines and captured a factory workers finger print which can be seen depending on angle and lighting.

The other point is the cockpit hatch on mine doesnt open, it seems to have been glued shut at the factory. So the two included tiny cylon figures included have no home. :(

Overall it was worth the price to have in my display collection.
