Miniature Star Wars ships -- am I searching for the right terms?

Hey all,

I didn't know where else to put this, so hopefully it's in the right subforum. I'm currently looking for some miniature SW ships to use as props for 1/6 scale figures.  But I have particular ones I'm searching for (Anakin's yellow starfighters from Prequels and Clone Wars, of course ) plus they need to be a size that is not too tiny but also not too large for a 1/6 scale figure to hold. Probably the Hot Wheels size ships are the largest I'd consider.  I found some super tiny ones a while back (micro machines?) but those were almost too small.  Wondering if there is something that exists in-between?

These are the terms I know to search for:

- micro machines
- galoob (?)
- hot wheels
- die cast (?)


....and not sure what else.  Any suggestions on the scale I should search for would be helpful, too...

It's probably not what you are looking for but may I suggest Bandai model kits?

Also look for Jazwares “Micro Galaxy Squadron”. They are really tiny, but may be more affordable. The launch ship was the Millennium Falcon that came with a tiny Leia, Han, Ben, and Chewie.

ah.... something for 1/6 figures to hold.....

Try 1/144 scale then, it's going to be very similar to 1/12 in a 1/1 figure's hands.

- Bandai star wars vehicle model series (1/144 for all and quite affordable)
- F-Toys Gashapon/candy toys 1/144 scale vehicles (More expensive and considerably hard to find)

Otherwise, can try tabletop gaming minis
- X-wing miniatures (More like 1/48 scale in a 1/1 figure's hands.)
- Starwars Armada (It's abit hard to describe the scale but it's the fleet, star destroyers, mon cal, and stuff.

Of course like you mentioned, the other stuff, like
• Micromachines by Galoob
• New micromachines by hot wheels or Hasbro
• Even the newest jazwares, The speeder bikes like a 1/6 on a 1/1 figure's hands. (Incidentally, it is slightly smaller than Action fleet scale)

I have some on hand, but need sometime to dig them out of the warehouse storage.

Thank you so much, everyone, for the helpful suggestions! Especially for what scale to look for. I'll start having a closer look around...

Have you looked for DeAgostini Magazine Starships?

I never had any so I don't know the scale but it's around an Italian hand's scale.

For scale



Well my brother and me collected a small fleet of ships called "Star Wars Action Fleet" in the 90s/early2000s. They had 1:72 scale figures, although the scale was more fitting for starfighters. For example the Millennium Falcon has only one seat. Some had extra concept versions that were much smaller.

But they seem to be listed as Galoob micromachines too?

The fleet is under the management of my nephew now.

Oh and then there were those Revell Model kits, 20 parts 1:58

There was alos this:

Not sure if it's available anywhere (probably not)

Anything I would have suggested has been covered, but good luck.

Thanks again for the additional recommendations, friends, I'm sure I'll be able to scrounge up something from amongst all these.
