Okay, so this post isn't strictly about roleplaying. It's tangential. But I figured the topic was more appropriate for a roleplaying sort of crowd.

I really wish there were firefly minis. Has anyone attempted to make their own by painting those ones that come unpainted? Soon I'm just going to raid my boyfriend's collection of dnd minis and start messing around with them until they look like BDH's.

There are excellent paper minis here:

from this excellent website:

found in this post in the Blue Sun Room:

For plastic minis, I dunno...maybe some Star Wars minis would convert nicely.

I would try foundry miniatures out of the UK. They carry figures from just about any period of time and are pretty well-done. Their western, modern and cyberpunk lines should work especially well.

I'm having problems accessing the standups on this website. Can anyone help?

Here is a very nice chibi of the firefly cast--

There are more from different artists on deviant art.

This is my page & if you'll go to 'Random Favorites' and browse through--you'll come across some more of these cute little guys. Also--there is a link on my page to two fan pages on devart and there you'll find some really nice fan arts in their respective galleries. Hope you enjoy!

Yes I have.......use Han Solo from Star Wars minis (Universe expansion).....He is wearing the long coat when he is on Endor and it is perfect.
Use Cable from Heroclix (Mutant Mayhem set)he is a great jayne and even has Vera!
I'm thinking of making another set and putting them on E-bay.

I am pretty sure some of the Starship Trooper armor costumes appreared in the series (alliance?). If you need grunts they are available in a miniature game named for that movie.

Here's a nice link to a good option for Jayne. The right paint and a pretty simple weapon conversion and you could be dead on.

This is actually a decent site to find other figs that could fit into the 'verse that you might not find elsewhere.
