Few uniforms in the world are as instantly recognisable as the British bobby's — the custodian helmet alone says "London" from across a room. ICM's 1/16 figure kit captures the modern British police officer in a relaxed, characterful standing pose: around 110mm tall when built, moulded in ICM's crisp new tooling across 27 parts, and supplied with a display stand. It's a painter's subject and a conversation piece in one.

A Painter's Scale

At 1/16, faces, hands and uniform detail are large enough to reward real brushwork — the scale figure painters choose when they want the portrait, not just the pose. The modern police uniform is a satisfying palette exercise too: deep blacks with subtle sheen differences between wool, webbing and boots, crisp white shirt, and the hi-vis details that lift the figure. ICM's non-toxic plastic takes enamels and acrylics equally well.

One of a Very British Line-Up

The Policeman stands in ICM's series of uniformed and ceremonial figures alongside the Yeoman Warder "Beefeater" (16006), the British Police Female Officer (16009) and the Royal Marines Officer (16012) — a display shelf of British icons in matching scale, and a set that builds naturally one figure at a time.
