Well, given how 'terrifying' the giant rat was on the TV, a plush glove puppet should just about do the trick!
Just get a grey sock and stitch a couple of buttons on for eyes. I'm sure that's all the Beeb did. Failing that you might get an old Roland Rat toy from a boot sale
Two lovely figures! I agree the Homunculous is a nasty piece of work (obviously character, not painting
).
I think you should do mini versions of Jago and Lightfoot. Great pair of characters and deserve their own audio series. Should be easy to find proxies for them.
Thanks all for the comments. I could use some Chinese gang members now: any suggestions?
I was going to suggest exactly those figures that Malamute has done. Should be plenty in there for your needs.
