I am looking for companies that sell Asian pirates. I am looking for ones with character over cost here so I don't mind the price of them. Thanks

The Foundry sell a couple of packs in their Pirate range that would make for good Chinese pirates. Actually, what sort of Asian pirate from which country and which time do you have in mind?

Don't know what era you are looking for, but Pulp Figures makes Chinese River Pirates: link

I have the Foundry Chinese pirates (bought as part of a Horde deal) and they look, well, very Chinesey. Unfortunately I haven't gotten them painted yet. Jim

I am looking for ones that could be from the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie, so historical accuracy isn't really needed. So any assortment of scruffy Asian inspired pirates will work.
