How Many Mini TUBBZ Fit Inside the Galileo Shuttlecraft?

The Galileo Shuttlecraft TUBBZ has enough room for two Mini TUBBZ inside its detailed interior. This gives you a compact crew setup while keeping the shuttlecraft looking like a proper Star Trek vehicle. The two-seat capacity is also useful for collectors. You can create different character combinations and change your crew whenever you want. One day, Sulu might be flying a mission with another familiar face. The next, a completely different Mini TUBBZ pairing could take off.

Two seats, plenty of possibilities

The Galileo does not lock you into one specific crew combination. It is compatible with all Mini TUBBZ, which means you can choose the characters that best suit your collection. That makes the vehicle more than a static display piece. It becomes a little stage for your Mini TUBBZ, with room for two characters to head off on their next adventure. You can also keep the setup simple. Place two Mini TUBBZ inside and let the Galileo do the talking. Its recognisable shape and detailed interior already create a strong Star Trek display.

Does the Galileo Shuttlecraft Come With Mini Sulu?

Yes. Mini Sulu is included with the Galileo Shuttlecraft TUBBZ. That makes Sulu the first member of your miniature crew and gives the vehicle some character straight away. Mini Sulu is approximately 5cm tall, making him a neat fit for the shuttlecraft. His compact size also means you can display him outside the vehicle when you want to change things around.

Meet your first crew member

Sulu is a natural choice for the Galileo. He is one of the familiar faces associated with the original Star Trek crew, so placing him inside the shuttlecraft creates an instantly recognisable scene. The duck version keeps the playful TUBBZ personality while giving you a character that fits neatly into the Star Trek setting. Of course, one officer does not fill two seats. That leaves one more place available for another Mini TUBBZ.

Who Can Take the Second Seat?

This is where your collection gets to make the call. Because the Galileo is compatible with all Mini TUBBZ, you can choose another character to join Mini Sulu. There is no need to stick to one fixed combination. You can use the second space to match your favourite characters, create a themed display or simply give another Mini TUBBZ a chance to take a trip.

Choose a Mini TUBBZ crew that suits you

Think about the type of display you want to create. Do you want a classic Star Trek pairing? Perhaps you want to mix characters from different parts of your collection for something a little more unexpected. The choice is yours. That flexibility is one of the best things about having a vehicle that works with Mini TUBBZ. You can even change the crew from time to time. A simple swap can give your display a completely different feel without moving the rest of your collection.

Why Does the Two-Mini Capacity Matter?

Two Mini TUBBZ might not sound like a huge crew, but it is a good fit for the size and purpose of the Galileo. The vehicle remains compact while still giving you enough space to create a proper scene. It also keeps the display from becoming overcrowded. With two characters inside, you can still see the shuttlecraft's detailed interior and appreciate its design. For collectors, that balance is important. You want your characters to be visible, but you also want the vehicle itself to remain the star of the display.

A small crew creates a bigger scene

One of the joys of collecting toys and figures is finding ways to bring individual pieces together. The Galileo makes that particularly easy. Instead of displaying Mini TUBBZ separately, you can give them a setting. The shuttlecraft becomes their vehicle, the interior becomes their cockpit and your shelf becomes their little corner of the Star Trek universe. It is a simple idea, but it makes your display feel much more alive.

How to Display Two Mini TUBBZ Inside the Galileo

The Galileo works best when you give its interior enough visibility. If you place it behind several larger figures, the details and Mini TUBBZ inside could get lost. Try positioning the shuttlecraft towards the front of a shelf or in an open section of your display cabinet. This allows you to see both the vehicle and its crew.

Create your own shuttlecraft scene

You could position Mini Sulu in the Galileo alongside your chosen second Mini TUBBZ and place other Star Trek TUBBZ around the outside. For example, the Galileo could become the centre of a small landing scene. Surround it with your other characters and give each figure a place within the story. You can also experiment with angles. Turn the Galileo slightly so you can see more of its interior while still showing off its exterior details. The aim is not to create a perfect museum display. Have fun with it and let your collection show a little personality.

How Big Is the Galileo Shuttlecraft?

The Galileo has a noticeable presence on your shelf without being difficult to display. It measures approximately 23.5cm long, 9.6cm high and 11.3cm wide. That size gives the vehicle enough room for its detailed interior and two Mini TUBBZ while still working alongside other toys, figures and collectables. Mini TUBBZ themselves are approximately 5cm tall, so the scale difference helps create the impression that your characters are actually sitting inside a shuttlecraft rather than simply being placed on top of it.

Can You Change the Mini TUBBZ Inside?

Absolutely. The Galileo is designed to work with all Mini TUBBZ, so you can change your crew whenever you like. This is particularly useful if you have a growing Mini TUBBZ collection. Rather than choosing one permanent pairing, you can rotate different characters through the shuttlecraft.

Refresh your display without buying anything new

Sometimes your collection does not need another figure. It just needs a little rearranging. Move Sulu to another display. Bring in a different Mini TUBBZ. Change Galileo's position on the shelf. These small changes can make your collection feel fresh again. It also gives you an excuse to revisit characters you may not have displayed for a while. Your Galileo can become the rotating transport for your Mini TUBBZ crew.

Is Two Mini TUBBZ Enough for a Star Trek Display?

For the Galileo, two Mini TUBBZ are enough to create a clear and balanced scene. The vehicle is designed around a small crew, so there is no need to fill every inch of your display. In fact, keeping the setup simple can make the Galileo more visually appealing. Two characters inside are easy to see, while the vehicle's exterior remains the main focus. You can then use your other Star Trek TUBBZ around the outside to expand the scene.

Build around the Galileo

Think of the shuttlecraft as the centre of your Star Trek display. Mini Sulu and another Mini TUBBZ become the crew, while your other character figures can represent the wider team. This approach works particularly well if you collect across different Star Trek eras. You can create a display that brings different characters together while keeping the Galileo at the heart of the scene. It is another reason why vehicle collectables can add something different to a collection filled with character figures.

Galileo Shuttlecraft TUBBZ: More Than a Vehicle

The Galileo has all the features you would expect from a fun TUBBZ Vehicle. It has detailed paintwork inspired by the iconic Star Trek shuttlecraft, a detailed interior and rolling wheels. It is also made from high-quality PVC and ABS and has been designed and engineered by Numskull Designs.

But its biggest advantage for collectors may be how it connects different parts of your collection. The vehicle gives Mini TUBBZ a place within your display, while those characters add personality to the shuttlecraft.

A playful way to build your collection

The TUBBZ concept is all about taking familiar characters and giving them a fun new form. The Galileo takes that idea in a slightly different direction by turning a recognisable Star Trek vehicle into a collectable of its own. Add Mini Sulu and another Mini TUBBZ, and you have a tiny crew ready for action. No transporter required. No complicated mission briefing needed. Just pick your crew and let the quacking commence.

Conclusion

So, how many Mini TUBBZ fit inside the Galileo Shuttlecraft? Two. That gives you enough room to create a fun miniature crew without taking away from the vehicle itself. With Mini Sulu included, you already have one character ready for duty. The second seat gives you the freedom to choose another compatible Mini TUBBZ from your collection. The Galileo is therefore more than a Star Trek vehicle. It is a display opportunity. You can create different crew combinations, rearrange your shelf and build your own miniature Starfleet scene.

If you have been looking for a new way to display your Mini TUBBZ, the Galileo Shuttlecraft could be just the ticket. Pick your second crew member, climb aboard and get ready for a quacking good mission.
