Currently I don't think anyone is actively manufactureing 15mm space figures. The five lines I know of are all out of production. The lines are: Citadel Grenadier Laserburn Martian Metals Star???? The best Traveller figures were the Citadel ones (this was the licensed line for England). It had limited availability in this country after Martian Metals burned and were withdrawn from production due to the American license company (which never actually produced figures). They produced packs of 20 different figures each of: Adventurers, Military (you could also get low, mid and high tech packs), Ship's Crew, Aliens (you could also get Aslan, Droyne and Vargyr packs). Figures were very well animated and detailed. These were actually produced in Canada by RAFM and so even after they were withdrawn from sale here they were available without too much effort. Grenadier figures while not specificially for Traveller made a number of usable figures (including my nefarious Thought Police with police van). Laserburn was again not for Traveller, but made numerous useful figures. I use a number of these for my vehicle crews and adventurers. The figure were also animated, but may of the figures were just too odd. Martian Metals were the worst line quality wise. Most of their figures looked to me like squashed bugs. The typical pose was standing arms straight out to the side. Nevertheless they had some useful figures. They were the only ones to produce Kirur and Zhodani figures. They also made an "Alien" and Darth Vader figure. They had some decent robots. The last line I only saw once and can't remember the whole name. It had good figures, but they were a bit large. Also the line was pretty limited only a few figures (maybe 20). Other sources of figures that we have used include WWII 15mm figures painted to look space age and there was a 25mm line that produced a good 15mm lizardman (Frank Chadwick's infamous Newt Company).
