The Drawing Room Detectives are headed for production shortly. The release will be in a few weeks at the most.
-
they look ace :D
-
Excellent! We'll have to get these. :-*
-
That clue set!
-
Nice minis, but you'd need six packs to get enough Napoleons.
-
Lovely set. long awaited.
OK, I indentify the three personalities here (I think the lady could be Agatha Christie's Miss Marple) but who is the first?
From the Napoleonic bust I suspect he is Sherlock Holmes, isn't he?
A very nice Poirot here!

But Bob might issue one of his "unit builder" packs with 6 Napoleon's busts! [and maybe 6 packed in a box with straw protection!]

Must buys; must paints. :)

Eller Queen, I'd guess. I think the bust is a red herring (appropriately enough): after all, the Maltese Falcon is there, but Sam Spade isn't.

Notice that it is clue set 1, implying that there are several more to come!

Excellent deduction my good man.
-
Really nice!
-
Splendid! :-*

Oh, my giddy aunt!
Yes, Please!
:D :D :D
-
Great stuff and I really like the "clues". Looks like they'll be very useful bits for all sorts of things.
-
I shall make a purchase of these at some point I do believe :D

Well, I must concede defeat on mister top-left since neither I nor my wife could figure out who that is. It's not Ellery Queen, I think, at least not in his most-commonly known form, and it's certainly not Nero Wolfe (who probably wouldn't work so well in an action game anyway!).
-
I just assumed that the top-left fella was Sherlock Holmes, the 'S' on his breast pocket leads me further in that direction....I could be wrong, but that was my first impression.
-
I guess it's not impossible, but I think that's pretty unlikely for the 20's/30's.
-
Jolly nice! :-*

It is if Sherlock is played by Basil Rathbone, but on double-checking he only started in 1939...
-
But 1939 is in the 1930s?
-
<Crashing bore mode on> Basil Rathbone first played Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1939, but that film, and its sequel The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, made later the same year, were both period pieces set in the Victorian era. Both were produced by 20th Century Fox.
Fox then dropped the series. Rathbone, together with Nigel Bruce, was later hired by Universal to make Sherlock Holmes of the Voice of Terror, the first in a long series set contemporaneously with their production. Voice of Terror was released in 1942 and the last of the Universal films was Dressed to Kill in 1946. Rathbone would revive the role intermittently on radio and TV for the rest of his life.
Having said that, I think that the 1939 Hound was the first time a Holmes film had been set in the past. Unless the recently discovered 1916 film starring William Gillette is an exception (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29474334 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29474334) ), all the previous adaptations, such as the ones starring Arthur Wontner which ran throughout the 1930s, or the 40-50 shorts starring Eille Norwood in the early 1920s, had been set contemporary with their production. <Crashing bore mode off>
That mini still doesn't seem right for Holmes, though.
