We have spent the past week making a set of Minikins based on Hercule Poirot's friends (as portrayed in the Poirot TV shows starring David Suchet). These were made as a special order for a friend, so they don't appear in our Etsy shop. However, we did manage to make another Miss Lemon doll, and she is now available on Etsy. More of Poirot's little friends will be coming soon --- and we're always open to filling custom orders! The photo shows a Poirot doll surrounded by his friends.

Minikin Dolls (left to right): Captain Hastings, Mrs. Oliver, Poirot, Miss Lemon & Inspector Japp
These little dolls range from about four to four-and-a-half inches in height. Their clothes are all made of wool/rayon blend felt, and their little heads (and Inspector Japp's hat!) are needle felted from 100% wool roving.
Captain Hastings wears an outfit loosely based on one worn by Hugh Fraser in Murder on the Links. Mrs. Oliver wears an outfit based on one worn by Zoe Wanamaker in Mrs. McGinty's Dead. Miss Lemon and Inspector Japp wear outfits based on some worn by Pauline Moran and Philip Jackson in The Case of the Missing Will.
Poirot and Miss Lemon are both available in the shop. If you're interested in any of Poirot's other friends, then feel free to e-mail us or request a custom item. Thanks for looking!
