2 Figurines, I am stumped

[JohnnyB]

I have these two figurines, I know one is from the Star Wars movies...

 

 

But this second one has me stumped....

 

 

It looks like it says "1978 Universal Studios Hong Kong" on one of the legs, but my eyesight is not so good.

 

Does anyone know what or who these figurines are?

The second figure is an Ovion from the origional Battlestar Galactica toyline that came out in 78-79

 

Geez I haven't seen one of those in over 25 years

Ovions

The Ovions in Saga of a Star World

 

Ovions are insectoid creatures that manage a mysterious gambler's paradise on the planet Carillon. They are one of the members of Cylon Alliance. Their extensive tylium mines are an extremely valuable asset.

 

The Ovions use Carillon's playground on the surface to attract their prey. The chancery is rigged to let the players always win, and there is grog and entertainment to keep the people occupied. Ovions occasionally prowl discreetly on the entertainment level, but generally remain out of sight. Individual humans are trapped selectively when they enter the elevator, and are taken into the hive-like structures underground instead of their desired destination. They are then placed into chambers which slowly transform them into food.

 

Cassiopeia is trapped in such a manner, until she is rescued by Starbuck and Apollo. They are presumably wiped out when Carillon is destroyed by the explosion of the tylium mines (Saga of a Star World).
