There is a 1:18 scale Stargate actually, it is a HAIR smaller than 1:18 scale, but would work perfectly for a diorama or other display using Joes.

The stargate was used as a BASE for Stargate model kits that came out when the original movie did back in 93 or 94 (whenever it was). There were 2 kits, one of Ra and Anubis (IMPORTANT: The kits with the bases are the MRC MODEL KITS and NOT the HORIZON ones).

I did a quick ebay search and was able to find some with the bases shown:


130066746852 - This auction shows both boxes with the stargate image in the background.

250069661124 - This shows the Stargate base excellent! It is soft vinyl, easily the center is trimmed out with a razor. I at one point was going to get this, cast the stargates in Resin and use them in a 1:18 scale dio, but never got around to it.

200065494581 - This may give you a better idea on size, the figure is approx 10" tall and you can see the body (without head) is about the same size as the gate itself, I dont have an exact measurement, but I'd estimate the Stargate to be maybe 8" across? I remember it was a hair smaller than it should be for G.I. Joe sized figures, but should work great.

Goodluck!
