Looking for a good Dragon Lady miniature
« on: September 05, 2010, 02:00:52 AM »
Hey everyone, I'm trying to track down a miniature for a stunning, pulpy Dragon Lady or somethign that could be made into one with a little work. I've seen a few around, but cannot seem to locate them.

Any suggestions or pictures would be welcome.

Thanks,

-Eli

Top middle lady in the Pulp Figures Dangerous Dames pack. Bonus points for doing a freehand embroidery dragon on the back of her dress.

That is one of them that I had seen. I am curious if their are any others with a little extra sex appeal.

Nobody loves the Pulp Figures line more than me, but their Dragon Lady is seriously underwhelming (her legs seem to be disproportionately short for one thing).

This villainess is 34mm tall, so she may be the wrong scale, but this is my idea of a Dragon Lady:

Wow, a great figure! Not really what I'm looking for in a Dragon Lady but certainly one to get for some other sort of pulpy villainess. Perhaps an air pirate of some sort.

You could do a head swap along these lines

I personally like this one - though you would have to paint her very differently from this picture (e.g. dark haired, some freestyle dragon design on her dress etc):

I have this one from Ironclad.

Not the most beautiful figure though. One on the right.

May just be my painting though ???
Would the Copplestone lady in black above suit as a younger Dragon Lady?

A lot of the old Clan War line is being re-released, and some of the various Geisha, Courtiers, Judges, etc. might make worthwhile Dragon Ladies:



You might also want to look at the Black Hat "Tales of the Dragon Kings" line:

There's the lovely Hanako by Hasslefree - unfortunately the main pic does not show when you click on the thumbnail for some reason  ???;)

Link to their Martial Arts range;

Well this is not a Dragon Lady, but you might like this cool new Chinese gentlemen just out from Reaper.

You guys are all great. I'll have to mill over the various options out there and perhaps bash one together from a fantasy sorceress mini or something if I can't find a truelly vampish Dragon Lady.

P.S. Kidterminal, love that mini from Reaper. Reaper does some cool personalities these days. I picked up their Uncle Sam to use as an undertaker for my Wild West stuff.
