Stargate Atlantis Action Figures

A spinoff series spawns an impressive set of action figures that will even help you build your own Stargate

Stargate SG-1 has been one of the longest-running science fiction shows on TV, and certainly one of the best. But it almost always concentrated on the -1 part—the fact is, however, that the Stargate project has more than one team that makes its excursions through the Stargate. So when it came time for a spinoff series, it's small wonder a new team was introduced. This team travels through the Stargate to the Pegasus Galaxy and discovers Atlantis—yes, the Atlantis. Not hidden beneath the oceans of Earth, as legend would have it, but the legendary Atlantis nonetheless.


The Wraith cuts an impressive figure.

This new team, led by Elizabeth Weir and military lead Lt. Col. John Sheppard, becomes trapped on the planet Lantea, on the submersible, highly technological (but very ancient) city of Atlantis. While there they discover a dangerous new enemy, the Wraith.




Diamond Select Toys has created several sets of action figures based on this spinoff series, the first of which includes Dr. Weir, Lt. Col. Sheppard, Field Ops Weir, Field Ops Sheppard and a Wraith. Each figure is just under 7 inches in height, and is to scale with previous Stargate SG-1 figures, so they can all form a huge happy family. (Incidentally, they are also to scale with their Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica figures.)
