Does anyone know of a manufacturer who produces a 25/28mm figure in a barbers chair along with a barber? I have searched high and low but no luck. Thanks in advance. Greg

Sounds like something (or the lack thereof) is holding up a Mob hit.

Looking for more of a western setting. Only about a dozen movies come to mind with the barber shop scene. Greg

Knuckleduster has several figures in chairs, and also loose seated figures to ride on wagons. Are you up to a bit of scratch building? link

Thanks nnascati. I have considered this but I have a minimal amount of spare time these days.

Old Glory/Westwind has a Sweeney Todd-type figure in their "London Civilians" pack: link He's second from left on the top row. Too bad you're not up for scratchbuilding, because it's hard to think of an easier one: just glue together some wood or plastic to make the basic chair shape, put a more or less pyramidal blob of putty on to represent the cloth over the customer's body, some feet, and stick a spare head on top:

And if the figure is getting the "warm towel on the face", you don't even really need a head…
