Howdie. There are tons of police type figures on the market, most are uniformed, or heavy duty tactical, or "secret agent", or (mostly) near-future. I have seen a couple of figures that would work, including some 70's looking ones…. but does anyone have a range of regular looking guys in blazers or short sleeves, with pistols and shotguns? Something appropriate for the 80's or 90's? Something "realistic" looking rather than caricatures. Thanks for the input. Chalfant |

Didn't Foundry have armed Suits in their Street Violence range? And The Assault Group has a couple new packs Security/Secret Service types. |

Foundry has a couple of figures that might work sprinkled in a bunch that would not (for my purpose)… nice range, but most of its futuristic, or too over the top. The Assault Group security teams have that secret service look, and are armed 50% with rifles. I am looking for regular guys, blazers, dress shirts, short sleeved shirts…. pistols and shotguns. NOT as popular apparently as SWAT teams and Secret Service, ha ha. Hasslefree has the not-Dirty-Harry figure, Frank Cisco… though I am not looking for Dirty Harry, this figure is closer to the type of thing I am looking for… link Killer Bee has their "Geezer" range…. wrong decade, more British feel, don't think I can use most of these, but its this kind of style I am looking for, just later time period… link Picky, I know…. :) Chalfant |

Ha, well now I know where to find Crockett and Tubbs and the A Team if I need them. Chalfant |

BTW, I hate turning down the offerings, I appreciate the links even if its not quite the thing I am looking for. Thanks for the efforts! I wasn't looking for Miami Vice, but now I have to wonder why I am not :)

There are some (Hero?)Clix figures that might work for you. |

The West Wind range there has some useful stuff. I can look at some of the Artizan pulp-types too…. Lt Shab does have the "normal clothing cop" look to him. Chalfant |

Crooked Dice do several that might be suitable:

You'd think that the logical follow up to TAG's goons in various masks would be detectives in plain clothes as per HEAT….. |
