I'm going to need bellydancers at some point for my pulp gaming in Egypt (Cairo, Port Said, and such places).

Any suggestions?

Amazon miniatures do legends of Araby figures, there might be some in that range.

Megaminis have a range of Arabian nights figures




Eureka have in the Pax Limpopo a Matahari figure belly dancing too

Those megaminis are 'true' 25 mm if I remember correctly..? might be a bit on the small side...

Some of those would do, as middle-eastern women aren't that tall  :wink:

I would prefer some with the 'puffy' baggy trousers, but I'll keep these in mind  :)

i believe Reaper has one or two dancer types with baggy trousers - and [forewarning] some serious "man hands": 02749: Jade, Dancing Girl

others of use may be:
02497: Jasmine
02501: Mirari, Seductress

Reaper aint bad...sometimes. They are of what is sometimes called "heroic scale" which is basically 28mm on steroids so they _sometimes_ tend to stand out a bit against true 28mm. They are also sometimes referd to as "slugs" as they, if rammed into a muzzleloader, would be suitable for boar hunting

It's true, you can't just take any reaper mini and mix it up with your usual suspects.. but some of their stuff is really good.... I need some of their barbarians for Chainmail Bikini, methinks...
