Yes. There's a Ral Partha pack called (I think) "The Seductress". It contains
three figures:
One feline humanoid female -- 25mm tall, naked, tail wrapped aroud
herself. One BIG Feline humanoid male, in space armor, carrying a rifle
Another BIG male, wearing pants and carrying a knife.
Both of the big guys have rat-like tails, and fan-shaped ears -- I am
almost certain that these figures are based on a Larry elmore cover for one
of the Man-Kzin war books. But they are most certainly Kzinti. I'm not
sure 'bout the name of the pack, or the stock #, but if anyone cares I'll
check the local store tomorrow -- they have at least four packs.
And for 15mm Moties, there's the "Trimote" figures that Laserburn produced....

OOOO!!!!!!!!
Yes, please, check!
I think if you saw my bookshelf (2/3 of which is SF, and about 1/4 of
that is Niven) you'd understand why I'm excited...:)
I can't seem to find Laserburn or the Trimotes on the Web anywhere. Is the
company still around, and if so, does anyone have any contact information?

They're produced by Tabletop Miniatures here in the UK. I have a catalogue for
them at home, I'll try to bring it in tomorrow and mail the address details

Last time I talked to L. Niven esq., he was still very very PO'd indeed

Roight. The pack is Ral Partha 02-808 "The Seductress", and it's $8.95.
The two male Kzin are posed in such a fashion that they could be pretty
easily customized -- one has both of his arms up, the other is holding a
rifle in front of him, but the rifle is cast seperately.
They are apparently from this Elmore painting:

entitled "Kzin: Seductress". Keep in mind, though, that the male Kzin in the
pack are about twice the size of the female, who is almost a perfect 25mm.

Finally fished out a Tabletop Miniatures catalogue last night. They're in
Wales,
but don't let that put you off ... :-)

They make the full range of 15mm Laserburn stuff including vehicles (some very
nifty grav cars and hover vans amongst them) and the standard figures are an
unbelievably cheap 12 pence each (which is why I have hundreds of them
...)
Hmm, sorry but your URL seems to be incorrect...... maybe a typo somewhere?

Nope, sorry, that's as it is printed on their catalogue. It's a Cardiff
university academic address, which can often be fairly transient. All I
can suggest is that you contact by e-mail and ask them for a new URL.
