Subject: Good makers of Egyptian Miniatures?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good makers or places that sell miniatures of Ancient Egyptian armies. 28mm and plastic preferably, though I can deal with metal if need be.
I've seen plenty on the medieval periods and vikings, though my tastes run further back in history, closer to Romans and Greeks.
Any info would be helpful, Thank you.

Unfortunately no one makes plastic egyptians, and it does not look like that trend will change
I do know a few, most notably cutting edge miniatures, but it also helps to know what kind of Egyptians you're looking for? Old Kingdom? New Kingdom? etc

I'd be interested in seeing any and all kinds actually, so that would be really helpful.

crocodile games do some real nice fantasy egyptian themed minis, though I dont think they are what you are looking for.

Other than those links already posted, I can not seem to think of any other companies who do 28mm Egyptians, many of the companies who do ancients in 28mm seem to have Egyptians absent form their line.

They look to be heroic scaled, so I don't think the fantasy Egyptian humans from their range could work for historicals.

Thanks for the links, a lot of these do look promising. I'll look into the cutting edge miniatures, and Foundry hasn't been bad to me in the past, so I'll see about some of those as well.

Did a lil look into crocodile games, and while they aren't made for historical, they do look really interesting for the fantasy side of things.
Thank you all for your help in showing me some options. If there are any others that people can think of though, it would be appreciated.

MDS has a line of Sea People figures. Given that we know nothing about what the Sea Peoples looked like, the figs may do just as well for the Egyptians who battled them.
The warband deal from MDS is an inexpensive way to build up an army. I have their Berbers & rather like the figures.
