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...

Quite nicely done. Bravo!

Very cool. I like that you made Mustard a short rotund individual rather than the well aged explorer.

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.

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..
