I am looking for any 20mm figures suitable for African/South Pacific porters. I am doing a New Guinea game and looking for logistic support

Did Hat release their set of Ruga Ruga yet? That set has bearers/porters in it.

There are a some poses in the Raventhorpe colonials range that may be pressed into service. I have a stretcher bearer team using 2 Zulu figures Code ZC12 that are cast open handed. There are also three bearers with loads for use in NW frontier but they should work for you. rlbps.com/RLBPRav.htm#Col

Size wise I think they mix well with my Newline metals but may be slightly larger than plastic ranges.

There are several civvie types mixed into the Newline Ancients ranges that may suffice……also Irregular Mins.
Indian mutiny range has some loin cloth clad armed rebels that can be trimmed of weaponry and equipped with baggage…..they have cloth turbans but would look like 'comfort pads' beneath a heavy load….
