So, these seem close to 28mm

Not sure how people feel about the semi "Cartoonish-ness" of the figures though.
Just found out that you can order these on their own from Hasbro

I painted my own. ;)

Much more fun. :)

Well, I recognize Col. Mustard(Frothers), but who makes the rest of them?
BTW... Nicely done! :)
-
Ooo! Now that's inspired!
Reminds me of using 20mm Germans and British as Guards and Prisoners in the Escape From Colditz board game when I were but a wee nipper...

Peacock and Scarlett - Pulp Figures.
Green and White - Artizan - Thrilling Tales range.
Plum - RAFM's Call of Cthulhu

Quite nicely done. Bravo!
-
Very cool. I like that you made Mustard a short rotund individual rather than the well aged explorer.

LOL!

I bought them, but they are just too big compared to all of my other 28mm figures. Out of scale. Not tempted to use 'em.

In the early nineties, I was involved with Waddingtons in producing a "Super Cluedo" game. It was a variant on traditional Cluedo and comprised a version of the game designed by Nick Lund with pewter miniatures sculpted by Mark Copplestone.
The game was carried on for a while when Hasbro took over Waddingtons but eventually dropped. So,
if you're lucky, you may find some Copplestone designed Cluedo figures kicking around, maybe on ebay.
I may even have some photos somewhere - if I find them, I'll scan and post them here.

Thanks for the info, Doug, very intriguing... and very nice too, if these are the right figures ;)

I can hopefully confirm all the figures in the near future as on the back of this I took a punt on a set from ebay. £5 for 12 figs has got to be a bargain. :)

Indeed - those are they.
Doug
-
In fact - why didn't I think of it before - they would be ideal for the 30s era game setting i'm working on....!
Must have a good look round the garage and see if I've still got a set or two myself..

You, little devil ! I checked but couldn't find such a cheap lot :( Probably another "post to UK" only, but I don't want to "play with the mail" actually ;)
I guess the price will grow slightly higher in the following days...

It actually was £5.50 and only 9 figures but still a bargain.
Here is the full set

And a size comparison shot

I am rather happy with these and I got a new Cluedo game to play also.

They look great. :)
Might look out for a set myself. Worth buying for the Colonel alone.

There is another set on Ebay currently for 8.95 plus postage:

Sounds good? Yes, I was tempted myself, but in a strangely mood I just asked myself, when the heck I would paint them after all the others waiting ... Must be some kind of silly Xmas illness o_o
