What about the Salute 2010 giveaway figure, although she has rather more clothes on, its a very tight outfit she is wearing.

Off topic, but if you must see this movie, please buy a used copy so that Jane Fonda gets no royalties.

Fonda has not been forgiven by certain segments of the US population. As for the figure, I haven't seen a real "not Barbarella" but Jean-Claude Forest, who drew the original comic strip drew her in various states of form fitting dress and undress. Betty the Space Heroine should work as well as anything  http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/betty%20space%20heroine

so you don't want her to have any royalties... I'm tempted to buy a copy just for your presumption...  ::)

Help yourself Giraffe. There were men being tortured in those prisons, just as there were people tortured at Abu Ghraib. You can associate with such people or stand against them. In both cases, I pick the latter.

Graven images do (or did) a Barbarella miniature in 40mm, however (and this is as an avid collector of Jim Bowens work) I don't think it was one of his best sculpts.  See;

The best link to the comics I can find is http://www.hollywoodcomics.com/forestbbd.html You can also get copies of the Grove Press english language comics (there were 2 different stories published in English) through Amazon.com.

The one furthest right looks quite easy to convert.

Though the Salute fig might be too.
