D&D Minis: Where are the Women!?

[Henrix]

34 is roughly 10%.

Oh, come on, please. It's 10% of the total number of figures. But then we haven't counted the wyvern, for instance, or the Mind Flayer Telepath, or the Gauth, they might well be female for all I know!

34 is definitely a more sizeable proportion of the minis more or less suited as characters than 10%! I'd say there are about 144 minis suitable as PC, which means that there are roughly 24% females.

I think that is fairly good.

 

[Henrix]

I am not even certain that the ratio of female minis has decreased in the later sets.
There are fewer good humanoids in Aberrations and Giants of Legend than in the earlier. By my count there was 38 in Harbinger but only 23 in Aberrations!

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

Ok, 11...total. And the Sharn cutthroat does not look female, neither did the death cleric.

Fair enough, but if we get to start on minis that don't "look" male or female, I nominate Devis and the elf archer for not looking male. I'm sure there are others that are similarly androgynous.
