BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (MATTEL) 1978-1979

From 1978 to 1979, Mattel produced a range of toys and merchandise tied to the original Battlestar Galactica TV series (created by Glen A. Larson and first aired in 1978). Although the show lasted only one season, it quickly spawned a dedicated fan base, and toy manufacturers like Mattel sought to capitalize on its popularity.
