I'm assembling a fantasy/Pulp Alley league of classic "Jungle Girls" and two charactyers I need to include are Nova (from Planet of the Apes) and Tondelayo (from White Cargo). See stills -- can anyone refer me to good 25mm figures that are close matches for these two ladies? Ta!

I'd say check out Pulp Figures. The South Seas figures might have what you need.

Yes, that was one of the first places I looked. I have a ton of Pulp Figures but can't quite find a Nova or Tondelayo match there. I may have to resort to Hero Forge and build my own, altho' that's expensive. But I finally went that route for La of Opar.

Black Tree Design (yes, I know) has a Leela figure in their Dr. Who line that might work for Nova. It might need a little work, though.

A link would be nice, wouldn't it? link

Getting close!

I've been looking at various cave women but so far they've been too fur-clad or too heavily armed for Nova. Some dancing girls might be suitable for Tondelayo if I ignore things like long skirts or harem pants. It's been surprisingly tough to find good matches.

Not a lot of female minis sculpted in sarongs!

For Nova I would recommend one of Copplestone's Cavewomen. link
They are not too fur-clad and I believe the weapons are separate or can be easily removed.

Aye-aye, thanks! I have a set of the Copplestone cavewomen coming -- some are bare-legged, and not holding weapons, so I can either smooth over the fur into leathers with green stuff or just let it go and not worry about it.
