54mm Sci-Fi?

[G. K. Zhukov]

Hi there!

I just happened to lay my hands on an "Aliens Deluxe Playset" by TreeHouse/Palisades, which includes several plastic Colonial Marines and Xenomorphs in 1:32 scale.

Which other 54mm sci-fi sources are out there?

I know about GW's Inquisitor (costing an arm a leg) as well as FFG's Mutant Chronicles (somewhat cheaper), but I have never been fond of Gothic sci-fi with spikey bits... I do prefer something with a more classical sci-fi or realistic feel.

Thanks in advance!

It pays to dig through the Phebus site, especially for the Aliens and space legion figures.
I  have a Thor on order, I can post a review when it gets here...

... bit late but... most (all?) of the responses offer 1/35th not 1/32nd scale pieces. Whilst in SF its not a case of 'it can't be right' because who knows, there is a crucial difference in human body scale involved and the pieces rarely mix easily. Even the lovely resin single figures advertised as 1/32nd often turn out to be 1/35th.

We (Skirmish Wargames) game in 54mm 1/32nd scale almost exclusively and are just looking at an SF setting (we already do it in 95mm 1/18th scale -http://s654.photobucket.com/albums/uu266/MikeBlake/Sci%20Fi/ ). The 2 1/2 inch Halo 3 sets are pretty much 1/32nd, and there are some Star Wars sets in the scale too.

Would love to hear of any more out there?

Didn't Airfix do a set? more Flash Gordon that anything else IIRC but you might find them on ebay.

[Mike Blake]

They did and I have some - and Britains did some too - but they are... pants unfortunately. But thanks for responding.

Look out for 'cake topper' spacemen for a classic 60's look.

[Mike Blake]

Thanks, will do - there are a couple of such shops locally.

As far as I know Igor (Ratnik) was doing at least one Stalker-mini in 54mm, if not more.
You could check the "Enclave" forum for 54mm sources.

I for my self wait until Phebus is releasing Aliens in 1:35, and start than an SiFi project

Consquare - thanks - got links - when i google I get wierd websites but not anything 54mm!

I have been eyeing up the halo mega bloks mini figures, the heads and torso armour fit up perfectly against my 1/32 ww2 airfix!! So got me thinking of some armies in plastic "moderns" and some head/armour weapon swaps. Also mega bloks did some dragons universe sci fi that are the same scale, and cheaper.

Ben 10 mini figures also look like a good source for aliens etc.
