But it is intended for IHMN...

Looking at all the "Jane" * figures out there (lots of them have blade and "jungle garb" look like the "Jane" figure in Foundry's Deadlier than the male set,) but in the supplemental Tarzan Company on the IHMN site it gives Jane a pistol by default, for self-protection I assume.  Based on the description I see her more "Victorian Lady" than "Gone Native Babe" in look.  So what figures do I have that meet that description?

So I was looking at my female adult Victorian female figures, (none of the Cowgirl oriented ones although being an American, IIRC, I suppose she could go 'that route' or even American Indian stereotype if you designed her that way,) I see "Miss Brodie" from Foundry's Deadlier than the Male set and I see Lady Constance from Foundry's Roses of the Empire set.  Both have pistols, Victorian garb, and fit size-wise with my current figures for this company.  Neither quite fits the image burned into my brain by multiple viewings of Disney's pleasant animated movie which seems as viable as the "Jane" presented in the original book, (pleasant enough but hardly capable of surviving in the jungle without a lot of character "growth" involved or a shit load of "modern" equipment beyond a pistol and ammunition.)   Miss Brodie seems older and harder looking than I was thinking.  Lady Constance looks a bit more paramilitary, (Blouse and Belt does that for me,) but better over all than Miss Brodie.

If I add a pistol to either Frau Schadenfruede or Fifi I would consider one of those figures but I wanted to avoid the problem of fitting a pistol unto figures obviously intended to be unarmed (based on arm position and outfit being holster and belt unfriendly in design.)

I guess ideally I need a "Jane" figure with a holstered pistol carrying Jane, (sun helmet or parasol would be nice,)  in a  a more generic care-giving or at least non-specific looking action.

Any suggestions?
