though most seem too large some of these items may work in dioramas. For us UK collectors they have a more UK centered set available in Smyths stores

I am sure other Dollar Stores may have it or something similar. Cheap instant remote controlled audio features, added to any figure or diorama.
I can be cruel I showed my HT DeLorean to someone who also owns one – except, mine can play actual Marty and Doc dialogue, or Huey Lewis Power of Love, by remote control on my phone. I told him that all the early HT DeLoreans could do this but the feature was discontinued because HT didn’t have rights to the music, and he believed me.
So to put this in perspective – for a cost equal to 00.16% of its current value, I upgraded my DeLorean with a cool feature of remote control audio features (and really it’s not even a permanent $3 cost, because I can instantly swap out the speakphone to any other purpose).

I've enjoyed some of these as well. Virtually all of the Brand items reproduced by this toy are available in different sizes IRL, so in most cases, what they intended to be a 1/4 scale "Small package" simply becomes a 1/6 scale "Medium size package." My guys shop at 1/6 Costco.

Yes, it definitely does. If you took away that doll crowd stacked up obviously for display, and substituted one or two, naturalistically going up or down the steps, it will look pretty good. I was right to think the railing might be low but it's better than I expected. It helps visually that it falls at the height of a person's hand -- that's lower than it would be IRL but has a kind of visual logic to it.
