I have been looking out on ebay for a 'British Bobby' (policeman) figure for some time. This is a fixed-wrist klicky in very dark blue plastic with a special helmet. It (and other klickies and sets) was marketed under the brand name Play People by Marx toys in the UK between about 1975 and 1980. (see here for more details of Play People:

I think the klickies were manufactured by PM and at least some of the accessories (like the helmet) were made in Swansea. Or maybe geobra made all the parts and Marx toys just assembled the klickies and sets, with new packaging.
The British Bobby klicky is highly desirable and fetches high prices; four days ago one went for £67 on ebay (28 bids, 9 bidders), NOT a price I am prepared to pay. However, I was recently looking for some old fixed-wrist klickies and found a lot of 47 which looked suitable. In one corner of the listing picture I noticed one of the klickies was a sherrif wearing THE helmet. Well, I won the lot for just £4.20. When it arrived (today) I discovered it contained FOUR of the dark blue police klickies (3 male, 1 female), the helmet and also two flat police hats from the Marx Toys range. What a bargain!
