Aren't the Barbers true 25s?

Blue Moon and Brigade Games also do 25/28mm gangsters.

Blue Moon fit well with Copplestone, Dixon and Pulp. The Brigade Games figures are a bit smaller and are more realistically proportioned. However, the range is quite extensive.

For buildings, Sarissa Precision's "City Block" range of MDF kits is quite good.

I have Steve Barber, RAFM and Pulp all mixed together. I put the Steve BArber figures on slightly thicker bases.

Overall, I'd have to say that Copplestone's are the nicest castings, but Bob Murch's Pulp Figures somehow capture the spirit of the era. Pus, he is a really nice guy.

My gangsters are a mix of Brigade, Pulp and Copplestone. I like all three. My buildings are Ameritowne hard plastic

You might able to track down some of the old Grenadier figures, which IINM were in their Cthulhu range, on Ebay. There were police too. I think they were sculpted by Copplestone. Anyway, they're very nice.

EM4 have the old Grenadier sculpts I believe.

Londonplod is correct. They are in the Dunwich Detectives line: link

They go well with RAFM.

No – that is VERY definitely not them.

The Brigade Games gangsters are the very best, imo.
