As an aspiring dictator, for a fictitious modern country, I think I could really use a security detail like this one, preferably in 1:1 scale, but 15mm, or 25mm/28mm will probably have to do in the interim, until my International Monetary Fund loans come in:

12 – 13 body guards would be nice, but I could probably make do with 6 or 7, if pressed.

Various poses, and weapons would be nice too, e.g. standing at attention, as shown; carrying assault rifles and firing them; shooting a silenced pistol; and, still my favorite little gun, the Skorpion, machine pistol.

A few in bikinis, and/or wetsuits would be nice as well, armed with spearguns too, just in case.

Anyone else interested in some too, in any scale?

I'm assuming that, if it's in 1:1 scale, you'd actually prefer to "make do" with 6-7, as long as there's significant pressing?

As far as figures go, considered the ShadowForge range, available from the War Store in the US?

Politburo Elite Guard Troopers:

Politburo Youth Brigade Cadets:

Politburo Worker Battalion Infantry:

Just some ideas- they do quite a few other packs in the Politburo range, and some other ranges besides that may work (Marine Scouts, the regular Marine line troopers, etc.).

You might wanna check HeroClix for a figure of Lex Luthor's female bodyguard, Mercy, as well, and assorted other superhero/supervillain figure ranges that might conceal a not-Mercy (Mercy-less?) figure, as well, as a thought.

Eh, he has his moments- more than can be said for most allegedly comedic actors (Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey all spring tomind).

I've very rarely seen funnier, when he's at his best.

Don't get out much, do you?

bsrlee16 May 2012 3:16 a.m. PST

There is even more to Shadowforge's range.

You might also want to check out Eureka's lines as well – Spice Marines (armored) and I remember seeing some greens for some other interesting figures.

Does the one at top right have a moustache?

Almost as hot as Qaddafy's security detail.

His Ali G interview with the Beckhams was rather amusing :-)

Amazing that he didn't make the Kraken list…

Ditto that.

He was great as the French Formula 1 driver in Taladega Nights – and as King Julian in Madagascar. ;)

We'll have to see how he does as Freddy Mercury in the upcoming Queen movie . . .

They may be easy on the eyes, but terrible security. One is looking at her shoes, others are mugging for the camera. Professionals would be wearing sunglasses so you can't see where they're looking. :)

For miniatures, Copplestone and Foundry Street Violence are the way to go.

I have some of the Shadowforge Elite Politburo too, they're pretty good figs.

…evidently a dodgy looking cameraman and the most obvious potential threat ;-)

Mystic Spirals made some figs in 25mm that look almost EXACTLY like that. I got a set for my WWW2 games.

Speaking of the Late Col.'s security detachment, any news on what happended to them? Or do i NOT want to know?

whoa Mohamed16 May 2012 8:49 a.m. PST

Elhiem does a 4 person female unit armed with 416s and other non standard goodies they have the right weapons and uniforms…

Gaddafi's security detail must have quite a wardrobe closet. Robert

Libyan use of side hats is always interesting – wonder where they are now – and they are rather more attractive than the archetypal models in the original post

They looked good but the Colonel couldn't get them to join him in that pipe when it really mattered…………
