What options do I have for female miniatures of things like Orcs, Hobgoblins, Kobolds, Bugbears, Half-Orcs, Goblins, and so on?

Anybody have listings and where you can buy them?

Well, Reaper just put out a female Half-Orc.

Though as far as I know, that's the only female Half-Orc miniature in existence.

As for the rest, I have never seen female versions of any of those, with the exception of goblins. Chainmail had a female goblin in their line. The Goblin Sneak, I think it was called. Strangely enough, Chainmail also had a female ogre, though that's not on your list. Whatever the case, hope that helps.

Chainmail's "Demonic Gnoll Adept" was female. Ral Partha had a couple female figs that included a female half-orc, check Dragglestown for a possible image or link.

Goblins & Bugbears? hmmm. Other than what GK mentioned, no idea. Check GW, Reaper & Kenzer is my best suggestion.

Look hard enough, and you should be able to find the She-Orc Cheerleaders from Bloodbowl...

And then you can gouge out your eyes with a spoon.

I got a female gnoll archer figure from the WotC stand at UK GenCon this year. I think it's from Chainmail but I'm not sure.

Citadel/GW did a female bugbear figure many years ago but it's long OOP.

Excalibur Miniaturen in Germany do three female orcs (#5305, #5317, #5318). They could easily pass for D&D half orcs. They're well sculpted and made - I would say to the same standard as Games Workshop. The guy who runs Excalibur Miniaturen speaks English and is very friendly. I've posted a pic of one of the female orcs called Tina. I wonder how they came up with that name. :D

There are a good number of female minis in EN World's online store but only three that are particularly "monstrous" (for lack of a better word) besides "Janara" the half-orc mentioned above...

Reaper Miniatures has a Female Wraith which I absolutely love:

They also have a Troll Matron:

and the pre-requisite Meduca/Gorgon:
02354.jpg

Apparently, she's a rare "North American Rattle-Snake-Gorgon".
:D

(I figure that these are applicable in the "and so on" catigory. :D )

As for kobolds, I understand that there is no substantial difference in the physique between the males and females (slightly shorter with thinner arms/legs/tail.) The subtle differences impossible to represent in miniatures.
Dragonborn and half-dragons; however, do have some gender-specific traits owed to their mammalian/ non-reptilian heritage (things that wiggle, things that jiggle, and things that dangle)

Any mammal-base or hybrid creature should theoretically possess physical attributes that are gender-specific, but weather or not the differences translate noticeably to miniature figures can be debated.
For example, something unique about gnoll/hyena where the female has a dangly bit that's larger than a male's, and how anthropomorphism effects the placement and how animal breasts function.
Often the simplest solution makes the most sense: just put a pair of breasts (as long as they have the torso to support them) since bipedal creatures would benefit more from a single set of functional breasts in both the evolutionary/survival aspect, and social aspect (whereupon they can coexist with other species of similar endowments more easily)
