I've been waiting for Copplestone to make an Adolphe Sax and a Plastic Bertrand for ages now.

Obviously I recognise the first two, but who's the chap on the right?

Nick Charles and Asta.  A Detective and his dog written by Dashell Hammet.  But they were American.

As there are ONLY 3 famous Belgians the one on the right must be Hurcule Poirot after a crash diet!  lol

Or maybe some of Van Damme's less known roles?

At least I don't remember that one so it must be less known.

Hum, thin Poirot with a gun... Quite unorthodox. Now, Can I have that Plastic Bertrand figure too?

I assumed it was a young Poirot, but I suppose that Hergé might have drawn the other two while wearing dinner clothes!
