Question reguarding action figures on G scale layouts

[trainguy111]

Is it OK to use 4 inch tall action figures on a G scale layout?

Sure as long as it looks ok to you!!

Most actions figure run about 4 3/4 - 5 inches tall which is way too big for Bachmann large scale products (1:20.3 - 1:22.5 scale). You will want to find figures in the 3 - 3 1/2 inch tall range.
The exception is an oddball scale I model in - 7/8's scale or 1:13.7. Action figures fit perfectly for this scale.
Some examples -

a JeanLuc Piccard figure -



an original StarTrek Edith Keeler figure (that station is 30 inches long with 6 inch tall doors!) -




an Indiana Jones figure -




ST-Voyager's Chakotay on a Bachmann tip car which work well for 7/8's scale -

I currently have a 3.75 inch tall Sonic figure by Jazwares. I plan on doing a fantasy themed layout.

I use the 1:18 scale figures that  21st Century toys make on occasion haha

Has anyone tried Nendoroids on their layout? Their 3.9 inch tall action figures of famous Japanese cartoon characters from series such as Lucky Star.

I check them individually--I carry a "Scale Card"to check for size--There was a toy store in Monterey that had a bin of assorted figures--I had several on my garden railway there--Madonna's character in the Dick Tracy movie is still on a coach platform,  Batman and Robin got "kidnapped"--Frankenstein's monster currently operates a locomotive under the Xmas tree--I had Disney's "Beagle Boys" holding up trains--a friend had Darth Vader with Princess Leia tied to the track[[After all--we're supposed to have fun

The Star wars figres in the stores seem to be pretty close, many were on sale cheap.   They had all that gret stuff why not an attack train as well with a cthreepio sticking out of the top of course!! 

My grandaughter thought it would be coool!!
