Hero Collector | Battlestar Galactica Collection | Cylon Raider (2004) with Magazine Issue 2 by Eaglemoss

I purchased this Cylon Raider (not through Amazon) hot on the heels of having picked up the Viper Mk II model, also made by Eaglemoss. Both models are gorgeous and (in my view) worth the price tag. I have a slight preference for the Viper Mk II model. The first thing I noticed was that the two models are not to scale with one another. The Viper is proportionately larger and it makes the Raider look a bit small coming out of the package. Both models do no more than rest loosely on the plastic stand provided and while the Viper feels slightly less stable in its stand than the Raider, the plastic portion of the stand that cups the vehicle is less obtrusive with the Viper. In the case of the Raider, the stand cups the head of the Raider and this somehow affects the aesthetics of the model ever so slightly. These are extremely minor misgivings, however, compared to how nice both models are. Thoroughly recommended.
