Looking at Amazon I see Disney makes miniatures of the new movies Rogue One and Force Awakens as well as some of the older movies Ep. I-VI. How does there size compare to the Wizards of the Coast minis.

Have a link?

I've heard that the ones from the parks are in scale. (But they're mixed in with all kinds of Disney movie minis.)

howdy darth ryl.
you ask an awesome question, which I hope means we'll be seeing you on the custom threads soon enough.

agis neugebauer and several others at lead-adventure.de and at cool-mini-or-not or boardgamegeek
have posted comparative images you might find useful.
these compare: ffg, WotC, West End Games, Knight Models, various gashapon: and a coin and a W40K guardsman for scale.

elsewhere, there are indexes of comparison photos by collectors of
"Star Wars gashapon correctibiru";
those host very accurate comparison images.

Most of those misc-disney figures from Star Tours or packs and so,
they're more comparable to the Epic Duels boardgame tokens,
or to the late-run WotC miniatures...
they are completely out of scale with FFG's Imperial Assault
though look alright next to WotC or next to Knight Models minis.
they tend to be on the smaller side.

Tangent: steer clear of Star Wars Command 'figures'
they're way too huge for use with anything!
they're closer to Armymen scale at ~1:33 ish
instead of 1:48ish/32mm.

The Tomy figures that other folks have shown here,
they're perfect scale! someone at Tomy was kind and was looking out for us! BigGrin
I've already done what I can to efface Darth Kilogram and hack him up to make
other siths, it's a great outfit for customising.
BB8 is great for parts.


So, all you'd need to do for most of em,
is get some MDF round bases 33mm dia,
maybe the small base for BB8,
and paint the base, and glue your mini on to the base,
and you're good to go with an alright looking proxy BigGrin

I hope this helps somewhat,
and happy StarWarsMiniatures-ing!

You can find them on eBay and they are called park paks and each pack has 3-4 minis in it and they are almost perfect size for minis. AceAce and I both got some a while back and the Kylo Ren that I pulled and the Capt. Phasma that he pulled both look great, I also got two old man Han and a few others. Just look for Disney park packs on eBay and you can find them.

I can't believe they made Teek. They made a mini for a character so obscure we don't even have a Vset card for it.

A few years ago I got a pack of Gashapon Force Awaken figures that are perfect scale (seen in some other thread here). Does anyone know if the Desktop First Order pack is the same scale or is it from some other series? Very difficult to google information on their different minis.

http://www.candysan.com/product.php?id_product=2271

It looks as if they are not based similar to the other pack at all, so maybe the scale is different too?

Could use some (cheap) FO stormtroopers.
