This one was a surprise. I actually never thought I would have one of these, but lucked out on an eBay auction for $15 USD including shipping. Older Specials can go for way more than that, and this is one of the rarest Playmo figures out there. So I am very pleased

Congratulations, Tim.   :wave: You really got a bargain there!  :wow:  Now if you can get hold of one of the early nurse and ambulance crew figures you've got all the emergency services covered.

(I like the addition of the dalmatian.)

 :o Er is the Bobby really a hard to find figure? Please dont tell me it's worth much! I've just used it in a conversion job as a Victorian Police man!

The helmet is rare, the rest of the figure less so, but it's nice to have the whole original figure together.
