We approved the masters yesterday and they have been returned to Griffin for production casting. The holiday break means that these will hopefully be in store in he second week of Jan - maybe before if we are lucky.

Oohhh! They are nice!! I just used these characters in a game the other night! WPC Cathy Black pretty much ended up saving the day!!
-
Excellent! I'm looking forward to the slags doin' blags 8)
-
Uti, you know: I'm a Fanboy. Waiting for my Order since there are Four Things to Order.

Very nice figures. I think these might have to be put on my shopping list.
-
Amazing! Not alot else to be said; amazing! Will we end up seeing the rest of the cast?
-
Missed this. Nice additions Karl.
-
for those not fully acquainted with British television series (sorry I grown up only with the Professionals and Inspector Barnaby, the only one that were aired there...) from which one they are from? Usually I can recognize Crooked Dice stuff but this time I am at loss.
-
They might bare a passing resemblance to this ;)

On a second look there is very much a Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler look to these chaps.
And it just makes them even more destined for my figure collection.

I like it all, but if pushed, the tie on DC Frank Skelton wins it for me!!
-
Nice :) The middle policemans head on the left looks like Michael Caine :)
-
Cracking paintjobs as always. Like the sound of the crims. Hopefully with a balaclava/hooded/ninja type head to convert some of those Minions with would be good.
