Postman Pat SDS Helicopter - which figures fit?

DS (nearly 2) was bought a Postman Pat helicopter and 'runaway cow' set - but it didn't come with a Pat figure and the one from Pat's van is far too big. Does anyone know if any of the figures which are available to buy will fit in it? I can't tell from Amazon - think they would need to be quite small.

I have both DS's birthdays coming up and am at my wits end with cretinous toy manufacturers - reviews for virtually everything I look at seem to be bad!

There is a Pat figure wearing a helicopter helmet with Jess. They fit. We've got the van and the helicopter. The Jess from the Pat with helmet set also fits in the van.

Bloody outrageous that these don't have the figures that you expect! Rant, rant - Peppa Pig's wretched rocket on had George and Danny Dog. I spent ages thinking we'd lost Peppa somewhere!

Thank you - will look out for it. Don't suppose you know where I can get them? I just think it's mean (as well as money-grabbing) on behalf of the manufacturers. What next - here's a toy car, wheels available separately?

Sorry - am being lazy. Am sure I can track it down!

I think toys r us sell a tub of figures that has the pat with a helmet in (about 3.99). Was very pissed off to find no figure included with this grr!

just looked on amazon and they sell pilot pat and cat

I think ours came from Sainsbury's - I'll have been talked into it while thinking about something else, no doubt!

And, while I'm ranting, the van not having Jess? Jess is the best thing about Postman Pat IMO.

Aah, our van did come with Jess, although I think it's an old model. Jess and Pat are both rubbery, rather than hard plastic. The back doors of the van don't open though, whereas I think the new one does.
