I’ve been looking for some character miniatures for Battlestar Galactica for quite some time now.  Nobody is specifically licensed to  sell them, but I’ve ordered some from several different companies which I think will work quite well. Some are obviously designed to resemble BSG characters, others just happen to look close enough to use.

I’m going to do an initial list of what I ordered from each company, just as much so I can keep track of which miniatures came from where as anything else.  I’ll do another set of posts when I start to get them painted.

The first company I ordered from is Hasslefree Miniatures , the miniatures came in a well padded envelope, with additional bubble wrap around the miniatures and a couple of bonus items thrown in. The company is in the UK, but the miniatures arrived in a reasonable amount of time, comparable to ones I ordered from companies in the US.  These miniatures would be best used to represent characters from the new version of Battlestar Galactica.  They also have some miniatures that would be great for Star Wars and even some for Star Trek.

Here is a shot of the actual items I received, I included a couple of non-BSG type characters as well, just because they were too good to pass up.

Here are some shots of the miniatures from the companies website, with links to the pages below.

I didn’t actually order this particular miniature, but it was in the box as an extra. The one I got isn’t this green color, not really sure I’ll have any use for it but might be interesting to try and fit a character like this into a BSG story somehow.
