Yes, i think you need to narrow it down. I can think of another 50 without working too hard…

Corvus Belli makes Infinity figures which are some of the best sculpted 28mm Sci-fi figures out there. They are a little pricey but well worth it given the detail that goes into every figure.

EM-4 (Future Wars)
Copplestone (new Future Wars)
Scotia Grendel (for Void and Kryomek lines)
Denizen (true 25mm sci fi)

This is pretty general.

Are you looking for near future sci fi? Distant future?
High tech? Mid tech? Bitech?
Humans? Aliens? Robots?
Specific genre types such as retro 50s sci fi or anime inspired?
Ultra gritty/realistic? Space opera?
Specifics will help everyone tailor their responses to your needs. wink

Yeah, I gotta agree that you're not really helping yourself much right now. What *kind* of minis are you looking for?

If you're looking for proportional (ie, non-heroic) near-future scifi minis in small numbers, then I suggest the Infinity lines. PanO for the lighter, Appleseed-inspired look. Yu Jing for a heavier, Ghost in the Shell appearance. Haqqislam for a post-apocalyptic scavenger look. Ariadna for a dead-hard near-future army.

If you want larger numbers, I'd have to advise against Infinity, as they're kinda steep per-figure.

Eureka for resin GZG vehicles.

DLD used to make 25mm/28mm scale vehicles, but they are on hiatus, sadly.

Denizen and GZG are true 25mm figs.

Yeah, pick a scale – 25mm, 28mm, 30mm – and silly proportions or real proportions.

Or just say what you have got and what you want the new ones for! :)
