Action Fleet sized ships, vehicles and mini-figures

[Sergiu]

I was thinking of discussing about lines that are similar to Action Fleet. What ships, vehicles and figures that fit the Action Fleet size, and maybe with alike features are out there?

 

[Sergiu]

I'll start with a few things, maybe members here can add others. Action Fleet is the line I still love a lot, and despite the fact that I moved to props and statues collecting now, I'm still looking for items that are similar in size and details.

The Micro Battle Set with Invisible Hand, Turbo Tank and Tantive 4 playsets is one of them, figures are a tad larger than AF and non-articulated, but the overall playsets are quite nice. I customized the Turbo Tank, with a repaint and modded interior (eliminating Kashyyk environment)

One of the other (non-SW) lines that are 99.99% AF is Xyber 9, even the figures seem to be articulated just like AF ones:



WOTC also made a few ships and droids that fit quite well with AF:










Matchbox has a cool series called Mission Bravo, see below an example. The figures are just a tad larger than AF, but still fit quite ok together.

 

[Sergiu]

In Star Trek realm we have InnerSpace and Strike force lines, quite similar to AF, with some ships with features and playsets and of course mini-figures:

Here's my twopenneth

Jada Halo line - figures were similar size to AF mini figs

The later releases from Disney

The earlier Star Wars Transformers line had figures with them though this was dropped later on

 

[Sergiu]

Yes, very cool. I have the Halo Scorpion tank, which is pretty neat



And the Halo Chopper



Transformers ARC-170



Transfomers Skytread, it has an AF TIE Pilot in the cockpit fits perfectly



A few other Transformers vehicles and robots from the line:



A custom I made from the yellow-green Transformers vehicle above - I call it Shadow Speeder:



Bandai TIE Striker



Colonial Viper



Cylon Raider

 

[Sergiu]

Blade Runner Spinner, wish it was just a tad larger, it might fit a MM figure but not AF





A few comparison shots:

 

[Sergiu]

And it seems the Master Replicas AT-AT studio scale model is 99% comparable to the AF Snowspeeder - which makes the Snowspeeder close to studio scale by itself

 

[Sergiu]

Let's not forget about the Disney Starspeeder 3000 which is perfect for AF

Doctor Who Micro Universe figures and vehicles:

I own both the Slitheen Cruiser and Space Pig pack, and also the Captain Jacks Chula Ship with Captain Jack Harkness set:

both are really cool vehicles and figures - pretty close to AF scale - especially the vehicles.

Would highly recommend!

 

[Sergiu]

Wow, these are very cool indeed, thanks for sharing. How big are the figures?

 

[DonWanKihotay]

Fantastic thread idea, and resource.
I think Galoob had a similarly scaled Aliens (and Predator) line that ran concurrently with Action Fleet too.

I thought I remember Disney Atlantis having a line of Vehicles and mini-figures comparatively scaled, although I'm now not finding evidence of it???

 

[DonWanKihotay]

Wish we had a Mandalorian line and all upcoming Disney + series marketed in this scale.
I would love an Action Fleet scaled Razor Crest.

I didn't mention the Alien, Predator and Starship Troopers because I thought they are known among the members, but thanks for showing them.
Some of these are quite expensive these days. Even the Micromachines playsets and figures from these lines fit well with AF.

I would love anything Action Fleet scaled. Titaniums, Hotwheels and other small ships/vehicles lines don't do much for me, I prefer the AF size as it is smaller than 3" and still larger than above mentioned lines. And AF comes with all those creative features and details, plus the mini-figures. They can be played with and also displayed and look cool.

 

[saddestmoon]

Wow, these are very cool indeed, thanks for sharing. How big are the figures?

roughly the same size, perhaps ever so slightly bigger, at a guess (currently, these sets are packed away in my garage, while we do renovations on our house, otherwise I would get them out to actually compare)

 

[SithPrime]

For those of you wanting a new AF scale line, what do you think the price would be on something like that today?

If HW and Titanium are/were around $5, what would be a realistic price today? $15?

 

[Sergiu]

$15-20, maybe a bit more for some pieces.

 

[SithPrime]

$15-20, maybe a bit more for some pieces.

Then my next question is what do you think should be the focus of the line?

I know realistically that early waves would be heavy on the big names (MF, X-wing, TIE, Slave 1, etc). However I personally would skip anything that is a repeat. I have so many of each of these at different scales that it would take a great price, and some fun features to make me bite again.

I would love to see more capital ships, and non-film/tv vehicles while avoiding speeder bikes/animals as much as possible. Just my personal preference. As I said I know realistically it would be more of a "greatest hits" line than what I want.

 

[DonWanKihotay]

Then my next question is what do you think should be the focus of the line?

I guess my most wanted would be Rogue One Action Fleet scale U-Wing with a better two seat cockpit , and proper troop transport hold in the back.
and the Cargo Ship the actual "Hero Ship" of the film, whose call sign was actually Rogue One, and "dies" with the rest of the crew.
Ie- with the main group as mini-figures.

It'd have to be a bit larger than the imperial Landing Craft....

Mostly just continue with all the ships would be the ideal, focus on any they hadn't done already.
Getting into more capital ships although at some scale point (Star Destroyer) it's better that become a playset.
Which was the other great focus of the line, the fold-opening playsets, which were essentially "garages" to display the ships which were the "characters" of the line.
They began with one for each movie, dream (although it will never happen) would be continuing the opening playsets:
(Although sadly we lost McQuarrie for new box art)

ANH
-Yavin Rebel base (done)
-Tatooine (with Mos Eisley Spaceport/ Docking bay/Cantina/ Jundland Wastes/Obi-Wan homestead/Moisture Farm
-Death Star I (with Different layout from DSII, Hanger for Falcon/Detention Center/Trash Compacter/Tractor beam tower/Extend the bridge scene)

ESB
-Hoth; Echo Base (done)
-Vader's Executor-class Star Dreadnought (Main Bridge/Platform for Bounty Hunters/Vader's meditation Chamber/ Emperors Veneration Hall/Imp Probe Droid Launch/Garage any Imp Vessels)
-Dagobah (Submerged and Raising X-Wing gimmick, Training Wilderness, Yoda's Hut, Vision-Tree-Cave
-Cloud City (Landing Platform/Carbon -freeze chamber& Dueling stairs/I am your father platform and shaft/underside antenna for hanging Luke/...etc.

ROTJ
-DSII (done)
-Jabba's Palace (Thrown Room/Over Rankor Pitt/Droid Rehab Chamber/Main Garage for Skiff/Dune Sea/Pit of Carkoon
-Endor (Main line of trees for Speeder-Bike chase & AT-ST traps/ Ewok a Village/ Vader Shuttle Landing & ATT connecting Platform/ Main Antaena/ & Shield Generator Bunker.

avoiding speeder bikes/animals as much as possible. Just my personal preference.

I loved the Action Fleet "Battle Packs" for the smaller vehicles, contraptions and beasts, that also came loaded with unique mini-figures.

The later releases from Disney

I had no idea Disney had released anything in the scale/format?
Did they do anything else?


Re: after quick search, apparently...

Anyone have both the Action Fleet X-Wing and this Disney X-wing for a scale comparison shot?
These are fantastic, any others?

I can try to find the X-wing and TIE and get some pictures for you later. However, in my opinion, these seemed very cheap and very flimsy. I ended up sticking with the Revell lights and sounds kits.

 

[DonWanKihotay]

A bit larger than the imperial Landing Craft....

LOL just looking for images of the Landing Craft to edit into the post above, I came across this image.
I've had the ship for years since it came out, yet it's packed away, and I haven't scrutinized it in so long, I don't even remember that bit opened up with room to put a figure in it! LOL!

Edit: unless that was modified?

There's also the Falcon from Solo: A Star Wars Story, with Han and Lando minifigs.

They also did a few when Force Awakens came out. I picked up Kylo's Shuttle, FO Tie and a pretty sweet Star Destroyer. They were all roughly AF size.

Repeats might happen as they do in most lines that come up. But I wouldn't mind seeing ships and vehicles from Prequels, Sequels, CW, Rebels, and of course from non-Star Wars movies and series

It did have that door in the lateral. Mine does. seems the customizer added an AF AT-AT cannon in there too

The Ski Speeder is the best of the bunch. Kylo's fighter is too big for AF, but still ok. As for the X-Wing it is also quite big.

 

[Rodders]

It's a shame that the Bradford Exchange didn't continue with their "Epic Moments" line of dioramas and only ever released "Go For The Legs"



"Get Us Out of Here" would've featured the Falcon blasting out of Mos Eisley.



A nice line of collectibles, IMO and a decent size.

Eaglemoss could make a lovely job of Dr Who ships

They also did a few when Force Awakens came out. I picked up Kylo's Shuttle, FO Tie and a pretty sweet Star Destroyer. They were all roughly AF size.

TFAs diecast vehicles are a good approx. AF sized line - one which I wish had continued on, beyond just the first ST movie.

Of these, I picked up x2 regular Imperial TIE Fighters (with the DSII backdrop above Endor), X1 FO TIE, and also X1 FO Special Forces TIE. All three of these versions are fantastic!

My absolute biggest gripe with the way multiple companies have treated lines of SW vehicles (diecast or otherwise) is that these lines have either changed or not carried on long enough to see the multitude of new vehicles produced.

I love me some TIEs (which are prolly my all-time fav SW starship design) however of late, they have done to death the standard version, across multiple mediums.

My list of die-casts wanted, or similar AF scaled line - would be the following:

Rogue One:

U-Wing
Imperial Cargo Shuttle (Rogue One)
The Profundity
TIE-Striker
Hammerhead Corvette

Solo

Millennium Falcon
TIE-Heavy (Brute)
Blue land speeder
Imperial cargo hauler
Imperial cargo train / Magna train?

TFAs

FO trooper carrier
Resistance shuttle

TLJ

Resistance Bomber
Raddus
Malevolence

TRoS

Resistance Trooper transport
Landos crawler vehicle (?)
Kylos next gen TIE-Silencer
[any of the multitude of starships seen in the fleet]
TIE-Dagger

The Mandalorian

Razor Crest

[any of the Imperial starships - Gozanti Cruiser, the Aquittens-Class Imperial cruiser, etc)

So many to choose from, and that’s just off the top of my head!

 

[Sergiu]

There are a few Titaniums and Hotwheels that are close in size with AF, one that comes to mind now is the Swamp Speeder. Also the Snowspeeder from TFA is also quite ok as AF.

Wouldn't that be a dream come true

Smooney, I often joke with DD about EM doing a 500 ship subscription of SW ships. There are sooooooo many ships that'll never see the light of day

Ha! Financially, I’d prolly have to re-mortgage the house in order to afford an EM collection of SW starship vehicles!

If EM did as good a job with SW as they have done with Star Trek, then it would be a difficult decision not to collect them all!

TBH: I’d prolly cherry pick as many unproduced capital ships, that were as close to compatible with the SW Titaniums - and that would still be a massive collection of vehicles!

 

[ReverendStrone]

Yes! This is absolutely what I'd be doing, too. I know there hasn't been so much as a whisper of this happening and, to be honest, it is unliley, given how hard Disney drives their minimum guarantees, royalties and license fees, but it is free to dream. It's probably the only way we would see some of the more obscure capital ships at a price and size I'd like.

 

[Rodders]

I'd love to see someone do the Ebon Hawk. Great design that has never really been seen outside of the KOTOR game.

Mine has that opening, but I don't recall there being a gun turret in the cargo space. (mine's currently stored away). That picture did remind me of that nifty raising center turret, though.

Just following up, that gun turret was added in. That was done by our own @Unreality

Repeats might happen as they do in most lines that come up. But I wouldn't mind seeing ships and vehicles from Prequels, Sequels, CW, Rebels, and of course from non-Star Wars movies and series

Sergiu:

If there Is one ship I would love to see, It would be a Collector fleet sized Nebulon B Medical frigate. It's not happening.

I would like to see any ship/fighter/vehicle that has not been made yet from Original Trilogy , Prequels, Sequels, Clone Wars, Rebels, and of course non-SW ships from other sci-fi movies/series. Capital ships as playsets (they would be awesome if also using real ship interiors instead of planet environments as we see on a few MM/AF playsets), and regular fighters and vehicles as single packs.
