Blimey, never seen those before. :o

 I want them, Don't worry I won't bid for them. Wonder who made them, Is it Paul Hicks for Brigade Games?

They are very nice. But I've never seen them before either. Never heard of Design 28.

I have to join the chorus and say I have never heard of or seen these before either.

Smoking jacket and fez chap is one I have always thought missing from the available ranges too.

Maybe if we all write and ask the ebay vendor he might be able to find some more ?

The e-bay seller IS Steve Harrison.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.

I really like these.
The rest of the figures on the Frothers link are very nice too.
But the link is 2004. A bit old.
I would love to see these released they would suit my current project to a "T".

Now now Sterling, didn't Mummy say "I want don't get". Much politer to say "Sterling would like these very much" :D
