Questions and Answers # 15

DST Chuck tackles your questions about Battlestar Galactica and Stargate in this latest installment of Ask DST! Check out the full Q&A and find out the status of Stargate SG-1 Series 5, additional outfits for the 12" Stargate figures and much, much more!



Jack O'Neill 12" figure

Brian Petersen:
Will any alternate outfits be sold for the 12' Stargate figures?

DSTChuck: We do not have any plans to sell the outfits individually, but if the response is solid we'd love to make more 12" figures.

Callum Templeton:
Any Chance of the aliens from First Contact? And could you tell us what accessories Ronon comes with? Thanks.

DSTChuck: Not sure yet on aliens but I don't think so. Ronan comes with his blaster, GDO, P90, knife and sparring sticks.

James White:
Thanks again for taking time for these questions. I have a question this time about the 12" Stargate figures. Do you plan to release any accessory packs or different uniforms for these figures? It would be nice to have some offworld gear for them.

DSTChuck: NO problem, thanks for taking the time to write in. Right now, we don't think the line has enough depth to produce something like that, but yes - if the first three figures do we'll we'll add more to the line and mix in new accessories as well...

Cameron Mitchell 12" figure

SG1: Ark of Truth - Action Figure Contest! Cam, Vala & Prior

From Snap Shot Chronicle's 'SciFi Sunday':

http://snapshotchronicles.com/2008/03/30/scifi-sunday-stargate-sg-1-ark-of-truth-review/

The giveaway:

Long story short, I have some extra SG-1 action figures. Mitchell, Vala and the Ori Prior. I’m going to give away one of each at the end of April and the remaining three when the second film, Continuum, is released this summer.

Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell action figure (Ben Browder)



Vala Mal Doran action figure (Claudia Black)




Prior action figures (based on William B. Davis from SG1's season 9)



How to enter: As I admitted above [there's a review of AoT at the site], I had a hard time getting into the SG-1 characters until Ben Browder and Claudia Black joined the cast. Especially Daniel Jackson. I don’t dislike the character, and the actor Michael Shanks does a fine job. I just find that I don’t really care what happens to the character, and I need that to remember to tune in week after week.

So, in the comments on this post, tell me why I should like Daniel. Are there specific episodes to watch that you think would “bring me over?” Or if you happen to have the same problem I do, share. Why do you have a hard time connecting with the character of Daniel Jackson? Is he really that much of a cold fish?

To enter the April giveaway:

* Leave a comment on my SciFi Sunday: Ark of Truth review. Tell me why I should give Daniel a chance. Or not.

* I’d be thrilled if you shared this giveaway with friends or readers of your own blog if you wish, but it is NOT a requirement to enter.

* I will give away one figure for every 10 comments on the blog. In other words, I will give away ONLY the Mitchell figure if I get 10 or less comments. 20 or less comments, Mitchell and Vala. Anything over 21 comments, I’ll give away all three figures in the first giveaway in April. Same rules will apply for the later giveaway.

Entries will close on Wednesday April 30, 2008 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. Winners will be selected using a random number generator and announced on Snapshot Chronicles on May 1. Using the relevant number limits as above, the first comment selected will get the Mitchell figure, the second, the Vala figure and the third, the Prior figure.

Giveaway open to adult residents, 18 years or older, of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Void where prohibited.

Stargate SG-1 - GateWorld: Action Man - Ben Browder Interview

From GateWorld:

(Please follow the link for the complete two-page interview.)



ACTION MAN

GateWorld talks with Ben Browder

Many believe Stargate SG-1 ended its journey on the small screen way too soon. Others think the series jumped the shark when it entered Season Nine. Whatever the case may be, actor Ben Browder, who was known well before entering the SG-1 scene, has made an impact on both old and young generations of sci fi viewers. GateWorld is privileged to speak with him again, this time inviting him to detail his favorite moments from the production of the first direct-to-DVD SG-1 film, Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

Ben talks us through what has been taking up his recent days, from coaching to developing his TV miniseries. He remembers what he most loved about showing up on the sets of Stargate every day, but is not afraid to reveal reasons why he also loves being home for a time.




A brief excerpt:

GateWorld: For GateWorld.net I'm David Read and I'm here with Mr. Ben Browder. Ben, what's life been like since Stargate?

Ben Browder: Well obviously I'm home a bit more. That's the good thing. It gives me time to watch my children grow. I don't have to worry about "Am I going to be here for that?" "Am I going to be here for this?" That's the good thing.

The bad thing of course is quite frankly going to work was fun. Going to work is tremendous fun. You miss the people and you miss the day-to-day. You miss getting the next script and seeing what you're going to do. You miss walking over to a sound stage and seeing something you wouldn't quite frankly expect to see when you walk out of a sound stage.

Last time we were there I was walking with a journalist and there was a guy standing outside and they were testing a new bio gel. They were hitting this guy with a flame thrower. He's standing there in street clothes with nothing on his face, and they're hitting him in the face with a flame thrower. This is not what you'd expect to see when you walk out your front door in the morning. It's the kind of thing you might see when you walk out the door of your trailer. You just never know what you're going to get.

"Oh look, there's a Wraith over there. He's having coffee."

It's just another day at work. "h look, we're going to blow something up! We're going to freeze a bunch of people."It's fantastic, and that's an exciting way to start your day.

Ben Browder – Exclusive Interview




Q: What’s Mitchell up to in Stargate: The Ark of Truth?

BB: "Mitchell is taking a big ol’ ass whoopin’! That’s what I remember of that! My last four days of shooting were literally about me getting my ass whooped. Rob Cooper’s wish fulfillment I think! ‘Give him more! Throw him against the wall one more time!’ It was tremendous fun, it was playtime, where I get to throw myself around and pretend I’m still a boy. At least I was the last time I checked!"
