Am I the only one to think that the Black Hat Cobalt-1 COBC21 – Female Duellist link could make a 18th C. Lady Pirate of 'female hero'? Apologies if you already know her, but who would -except for a 'Lacepunk' TMP link fan- search for a 'female Musketeer' ( TMP link ?) in a Sci-Fi range? Is she displayed in her painted glory somewhere? Btw, along the same lines, Ironclad Mina Harker is indeed 'Victorian' link , but a 18th C. adventuress could look like her (# in 'riding habit' link , coat dropped for dueling as men did).

Interesting find! I try to look at various fantasy ranges to supplement my Vikings and Pirates, but wouldn't have thought to look in the science fiction section. I'm not sure what she has around her ankles and she may have pauldrons or sapulders on her shoulders, but these could easily be removed. Hmmm. . . a pirate princess? Grelber

You can find more suitable female figures from the Black Scorpion range of pirates.

More suitable? More 'traditional' maybe – but I like diversity. And at least the Cobalt 'Duellist' looks slightly 'exotic' in a pleasant way. More than the cute Bronze Age 'Werefoxette' in human form (without tale-telling tail, she could be used as a wereshewolf)
