Both Perrys and Warlord produced versions of Fred to accompany the Black Powder Sudan supplement - a quick search on this forum will show some painted examples. Redoubt Miniatures has one as well.

As said Redoubt do a fine version, in patrol uniform, with shotgun. It is a good chunky figure.. Well he was the strongest man in England so they say

Here's my rendition of the mini that comes free with the Warlord Sudan supplement when you order from the Perry Miniatures site (you don't get the dead Beja!):

Digressing somewhat, but talking about 'larger than life' characters in the Sudan, here's General Gerald Graham and his staff - another 'Big Man' of the Victorian army! (All 6' 6" of him)

Burnaby is describing as "potting" Hadendowah with his shotgun in the Sudan (at least till they did for him).

One of Burnaby's patrol jackets is on display at the Household Cavalry museum on Horseguards in London. It really conveys an impression of his enormity - and barrel chest.
