Nice ones... I really like the academic. What exactly is he holding?

Has the size comparison question been asked yet about your range?

I do believe that's a legally distinct Photonic Spanner he's carrying there.

Cheers guys!! Excellent suggestions for gizmo names BTW.

Rem - They are 28mm - although Tweedy stand approx 29mm. If you are familiar with Hasslefree work, then you'll get an idea. I mix and match mine with other 28mm ranges without breaking a sweat.

And Tweedy is holding some weird science apparatus - possibly a psionic probe. All part of his academic investigation obviously into the unknown...

Rob - backstory (such as it is):

Tweedy Mattison - Few would suspect that the youngest professor at Holmes College led such a double life. Dressed in his finest teaching attire, this daring young gent fights the good fight against all manner of villains – wherever they might be hiding.

Inadvertant sidekick of Tweedy Mattison, WPC May Killan finds herself battling against all manner of unlikely enemies. Armed with only her hairpins, notebook and a disarming ability with judo ("My dad wanted me to learn").

Expect similar character archetypes in 7TV - wargames rules for Cult TV - out later this year. More details on the Crooked Dice website here:

He is 29mm to eye level, so a touch taller than most of the males in the HF range (averaging 27.5 to 28mm). She's about right for a tall female though (the RL female is 5'11").

Very cool. Although I'm not in the market for a Not Doctor Who at the minute I could probably find a use for the Not Kissogram. :D

Lovely.  I can hardly wait.

Next up, how about Tweedy's long-running enemies, the notorious Ironsides mobile computers?  Because it looks like we're going to need some new models (picture from Radio Times website).
