He's cute, but 6 pounds is a bit much.

Are we expecting this to be a very limited run? The last Hamley's Special - the soldier in the Bearskin - was around for a while, though I'd have thought it was much more saleable (Are policemen in those helmets considered a very British thing abroad? I'm not sure I've ever seen a policeman wearing one in real life)

I think they only wear them for events like protests and other large gatherings.
Good action shot from the Notting Hill carnival this year.
It also shows how the brim slopes down, particularly at the front and back.

Yes, I'm sure you're right there, because the raised ridge on the top of the helmet is especially strong to prevent head injuries.

I'll have to do a count up, Elaine, and check; in my old age I'm losing track!  I'll get back to you.

Cheers to my kind supplier. There's no doubt any more, it's a real one...  :lol:

He just flew in yesterday...


...and despite my habbit of waiting till christmas I couldn't but unwrap the lad!


He's a real highlight in my model-blue-lights-corner  :).

Dank eines lieben Einkäufers vor Ort bleibt mir nichts als fröhlich anzuerkennen: Der Typ ist echt - und er ist ein echter Hingucker in meiner Blaulichtecke  :love:.

He fits in well, Stefan.
