Title: Peaky Blinders - Alfie Solomons figure
Post by: Dr Bogo on January 15, 2021, 05:11:08 PM

As the title says, does anyone know of a figure suitably approximate to Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders? Preferably armed for an interwar gangster game but anything will do!

Cheers

A number of years ago a company called Amazon Miniatures produced these Jewish Militia figures in 28mm. The company I believe no longer exists but hopefully someone of the site has some that they might sell you if it’s what your after.

If you’re up for some light converting, I’d stick a beard and a scarf on one of the Copplestone gangster figures and make him a new hat. The cane, if it’s important to you, is a tad trickier as it would narrow down the amount of figures you’ve got to choose from.

Thanks chaps, I'll have a look at converting those Copplestone gangsters (so to speak) as they look like the most promising bet.

Cheers

You're welcome.

I'm a little surprised that nobody has been inspired to make a range given the popularity of the series and all the fantastic characters in it.
