Harper and issued by Royal Doulton from 1992 to 1995, standing 9 inches tall as part of the Professions series. The subject needs no introduction — the Metropolitan Police constable in full traditional uniform is one of the most recognisable figures in the world, and Harper renders him with the same careful attention to occupational detail that distinguished his work across the entire Professions range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe figure presents the Bobby as he has appeared on Britain's streets for generations: the tall custodian helmet, dark serge tunic, and the bearing of a man whose authority derives more from presence than force. It is a subject that Doulton returned to across multiple formats — character jugs, pen holders, commemorative pieces — but the HN2778 figurine stands as the definitive full-figure treatment, the Professions series format giving Harper the scale to capture the uniform and posture properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eProduction ran for just three years before retirement in 1995, and the Bobby shares the short-run scarcity of its Professions series companions. For collectors drawn to occupational figures or British iconography, it is one of the more satisfying pieces Harper produced — instantly readable, impeccably executed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Cross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41547615371397,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/4050\/3941\/files\/batch_IMG_8021.jpg?v=1773393753","url":"https:\/\/william-cross.com\/products\/royal-doulton-figurine-the-bobby-hn2778","provider":"William Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
