Howdy! Are there any suitable minis in 25/28mm for Kzinti (ala Larry Niven)? I saw some Traveller Alsan years back from Grenadier, and they were so-so. Thanks! Ken |

Eureka has a few catgirl pirates (also carried by Ground Zero Games) but they are rather cartoony. Reaper has a couple of weretigers that would work if you sculpted clothing onto them (probably easier to sculpt cat heads on other minis). |

My vote for Kzinti stand-in is the "Yuzzem" figure from the Star Wars CMG. That is what I bought them for! Available from on-line dealers, and not very expensive. |

There was a set, I think RAFM made them, taken from a (Larry Elmore?) cover of a Kzinti novel. There was one male in power armor with a rifle, one male in power armor pants, with a knife, and one female in…nothing. The female is about the size of a 28mm human, maybe a touch taller. The males are head-and-shoulders taller than that. The detailing was okay on the males, the poses were a little static. The full-suited male had his visor up so you could see his face. The details on the female were better. I'll try to dig them up tomorrow and post a better review. |

Ah, I remember those. They were done by Ral Partha. |

Howdy, Do you remember the name of the box/pack or the name of the line? Are they still in production from RP Europe or the US? Thanks! Ken |

Rafm did some Traveller Aslan figs for the TNE era books (early to mid 1990s) but they were smallish for todays figs. I believe they offered 3 poses. They are no longer in production. |

Amarillo Design Bereau is working on some minis for thier Star Trek-based Prime Directive RPG. There were some pics of Klingon greens on their forums awhile back. Since Kzinti are a part of ADB's Trek Universe I'd bet they'll produce some minis before too long. Jeff |

The Ral Partha figures were called The Seductress. It was a threesome – space suited male with weapon, male with weapon, and female. IIRC the female is about 30mm and the males are probably 35mm. I purchased the set mail order right before Ral Partha imploded. |

For some reason, wolves are much more popular. I'm working on some modular, digigrade aliens. So, with head and tail swaps could be Aslan, Kzinti, something else. |
