The cape really makes a tremendous difference, Emma!

Of course your "police box" is perfect ...  :wow:

Do you have any plans on bringing your "street people" together into one fantastic Victoria street scene?

I really love  :love: what you're doing with the Victorian theme, Emma.
You're bringing it to life ...  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Note: And, what Victorian London street scene would be complete without a Guards parade? (hint, hint, hint) ...  :klickygrin:

You've created so many wonderful, detailed customs here with great props, Emma!  You've really captured the period well. :wow:

Nice Victorian policeman, but the box he's standing in front of dates from the 1950s.  :-[  Police call boxes were first introduced in 1910.

Yeah, but how do we know that isn't Dr. Who's Tardis?  It could show up in any time period!   ;D
CARPE KLICKY!

Another excellent Victorian custom work of art, Emma.J  :wow:! Karim & yourself have sparked a tremendous interest in this beautiful Playmobil theme   :clap:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

 :wave:  Yes it is Dr Who's Tardis, I know the boxes were only used for the last century but I thought it would just look good with the police man as it's the same scale  :-\
My original thought was to pose him with a lamp and a gentleman with a bag of tools and a headline for Jack the Ripper! but then I thought it is supposed to be for kids  :-[ So scratched that idea!
Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

I often have ideas with Playmobil that seem a little inappropriate for a toy!

This is an Agatha Christie inspired photo I made, titled "Murder Most Foul":
