I think that some of the recommendations are drifting a little off-topic, so here's a picture of the original Dragon Lady as limned by the great Milton Caniff:

When I think of the Dragon Lady (and I have read some years of those Milton Caniff cartoons), I think of the attitude projected by the second figure from the left in Copplestone's BC-17 pack of Bolshevik Heroines in Copplestone's Back of Beyond range:

It's that cigarette or cigar, and the attitude of power and confidence projected by that figure that impresses me.  And power is sexy...

On the other hand, I tend to think that whole pack of Pulp Figures referred to above can work for the Dragon Lady in different situations.

I had those figs at one time before I stupidly made a rash decission to get out of 28mm and sold off all my Pulp figures.

I had her painted up as Chinese and used her as the leader of my bandit gang. She is on my list to pick up during my rebuild and will definitely work for an "in the field" version of the Dragon Lady.
