We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Aside from the Vree, the resemblances are very passing. I can see more of the SC ships in the cover art for SC2 itself (i.e. not much) than in these miniatures.

No need to be a poop.
Also understand that these minis are unpainted; a good color scheme would go a long way to making them look more like the SC2 ships.

nice, using Babylon 5 to promote sc2, when its very well known that this show blantingly ripped off the star control idea and tweaked it to there likening. i turn around, arms crossed, in the show of Klingon dishonor. may the stars never align themselves to show you the way home...good day.

Well, it wasn't so blatant that I ever made the connection, then again I never watched B5.
Wow, I'm two for two with rude people answering this thread so far, and the second one goes so far as to insult me, nice.

its not you, really. its great you have an active imagination. yes i can see some(little) resemblance to what you see, but its... well check out this snip from online chat with one of the creators...
<Manta> Fwiffo: Has anyone ever brought up parallels between babylon 5 and Star Control?
<Fwiffo> babylon 5 causes a certain amount of stomping around the office screaming.
<Fwiffo> babylon 5 steals from us. We steal from known space.
<Fwiffo> And Larry in known space steals from others.
so you see, even one of the creators(Fwiffo) had a hard time swallowing B5. we dont hate you or what youve done. but theres been alot of talk about the similarities between the two that your post is a hard reminder of the ones who get rich of someone elses idea, and the ones who get kicked in the butt.
i apologize for any and all rudeness. live long in geekness.

... and if you read later in that interview, he mentions that he likes the arc episodes of B5, so it's not unmitigated hate.
In any case, I think that if you wanted SC2-style ships, these are a reasonable approximation. If you don't think that, don't buy 'em.
