Dumb Question 1/18 Women Figures, Are There Any?

Post by Coreyeagle48 » Sat Nov 13, 2004 10:16 pm

Hi

Does anyone out there know if there are any true 1/18 scale figures of women out there. The only thing I had seen that was close was the Padme and Leia SW figures and the Kate Beckinsale Van Helsing figure, but even these are a little over or under sized. Just wondering, I'd like some for a project I am working on and was hoping there might be some out there....somewhere!

Other than the Star Wars figures, there are the GI Joes. Some of the older female figures from the 80s are probably the best size wise.

Here's a rough list:

- For model trains, Prieser used to make a 8 pack of nude figures, both female (Eve) and Adam (male). These pop up occasionally, and are static poses, and you have to clothe them, unless your soldiers need some RandR. They have them in 1:22.5 scale (very tiny women) and 1-20.3 (I think I figured the size to be a scale 5'-3"). The 1-20.3 very rarely show up, but they are out there.
-There was a very decent Asian female as a vehicle pack-in from Titan AE
-There are two in the Macfrugals adventure team/rescue team figures. One is a medic, the other some jungle explorer. Both have sunglasses on,though.
- The are the two young girls and one lady in the Spy kids figures
-From Jim Carey's Grinch Stole Christmas, there was one in a sort of ballgown
-Check the various fastfood toys, they can at least be used for spare parts (heads, torsos)
- Some cartoons one exist, but the heads need a little work - Voltron, Japanese Anime, Atlantis, Xyber 9
- From several years back, there was one in the Dragonheart series

I'm sure there are more, just need to check the junkroom to see what else I've picked up before.

If you have a Big Lots near by you may want to check there. I have seen a woman figure that looks to be a doctor or nurse that could be converted with a little work.

A company called M&D International Distributors, Inc out of Fla will be distributing a line of 1:18 women this coming year. I've seen their prototypes and they are true 1:18 scale, I'm not sure they will go with the "military" theme though. They are titled "Fast Women". They are dressed in short skirts,high heels and tops that are just a little too small. They are not nude!
I collect 1:18 cars also, and these babies are just right to display with them.
Jimmy Flinstone also makes a couple of 1:18 scale women (Trailer Trash Tina, and 50's car hop girl).

I'm not sure if this is the figure tracer is talking about, but here is the link:
http://home.cshore.com/bucwheat/2k4/cargirl-jf.jpg
It is a model kit by Jimmy Flintstone. It's titled "Car Girl" and is 90mm. There is two more, but one I can't post. Here is the other one titled April Calendar Girl:

I believe M&D International Distributors, Inc is only a distribution company and not the company that makes models. There home page is www.drewsdistributing.com
And I didn't see anything about figures on that site, but I could be wrong.

There's Lanard's WOW girls line which are modern women but they haven't been in production for a while, Chap Mei has a female figure in each of it's Wild Quest and Emergency Rescue line. The Japanese have minature figurine lines based on comics, video games and cartoon characters which have some female figures but no articulation.
