15 mm Gangster Era Police Comparison Photos

For the benefit of others, I'm posting a few comparison shots of the 15 mm American 1930's (or so) gangster 'era' police.  I know, I know, most of you would probably have preferred the gangsters and mobsters - these guys were just easier for comparison.  All the figures in each range are to the same size and standard.
The shot above shows from top to bottom the 6 figures from Rebel Miniatures (originally from Splintered Light), the middle row are the 9 figures from Khurasan Miniatures, and the bottom row shows the 12 from Blue Moon Manufacturing.
The above shows Rebel, Khurasan, and Blue Moon (from Old Glory 25s by the way).
And here are three figures standing just picked at random but, again, Rebel, Khurasan, Blue Moon left to right.

Note that the Blue Moon police come in 6 poses and there are two of each pose.  The 9 Khurasan include 1 detective figure.  So that means there are 20 unique poses for police in 15 mm plus the detective (and if you like, Blue Moon has a Sherlock Holmes usable figure in their horror range that is perhaps the best sculpted figure I've seen in any scale - and there are London Bobbies in that mix).  That's pretty impressive.  Obviously, there is some size difference and that may be an issue for some but I like the variety so will use them all, just maybe give the shorter figures thicker bases.  Plan is that some of the cops will be straight law abiding, some may be on the fence, and some will be on the take.  That last is a good reason for the feds to get involved.
