American Diorama Alexa 23917: 1:24 Costume Figure Guide

American Diorama item 23917 is the 1:24 Costume Babe Alexa standing figure in a black police-officer costume. The hand-painted cold-cast resin figure stands approximately three inches tall and is supplied individually in a blister-card package. It is designed as a static diorama accessory for model-car displays, garages, show scenes, and related 1:24 environments.

The “1:24” in the title is a scale, not a quantity. Item 23917 contains one figure, not a 24-pack. The exact identifiers are manufacturer item 23917 / AD23917, store SKU F977-23917, and UPC 616983239179.

What the figure represents

Alexa is a themed display character rather than a named film, television, or motorsport personality. The black police-style costume creates a recognizable visual role for custom street scenes, car-show displays, workshop settings, traffic-stop vignettes, and humorous collector arrangements.

The uniform should be treated as costume design on a fictional American Diorama character. Do not assign the figure to a real police department, badge number, jurisdiction, or documented person unless the exact package supplies that information. Item 23917 owns the product intent for the Alexa character, black costume, three-inch 1:24 format, and single-figure blister card.

How to confirm the exact 23917 release

1. Read the item number. The package or seller record should identify 23917 or AD23917.
2. Match the UPC. The exact barcode is 616983239179.
3. Confirm the character. The figure is Costume Babe Alexa.
4. Check the costume. Exact-item records identify a black police-officer-style uniform.
5. Verify the scale. The figure is intended for 1:24 displays.
6. Count the contents. One standing figure is included.
7. Check the height. Alexa is approximately three inches tall.
8. Inspect the material and finish. The figure is hand-painted cold-cast resin.
9. Match the package. Look for the individual blister card shown in the exact product image.

Single Alexa versus the four-figure Costume Babes set

American Diorama also sells a 1:24 Costume Babes four-figure assortment containing Alexa, Brooke, Candy, and Daphne. That package combines item numbers 23917, 23918, 23919, and 23920 and has a separate set UPC and product record.

• Item 23917: One Alexa figure, UPC 616983239179.
• Four-piece set: Alexa, Brooke, Candy, and Daphne together under the combined 23917-23918-23919-23920 reference.

The presence of Alexa in the four-piece set does not make the single blister and the boxed assortment duplicates. Quantity, package, price structure, SKU, UPC, and exact search intent differ. This article owns the single-figure item 23917 only.

1:24 Alexa versus the 1:18 Alexa

American Diorama produces a larger Costume Babe Alexa under item 23869 for 1:18 displays. That figure is approximately four inches tall and uses a larger blister card.

• 23917: 1:24 scale, approximately 3 inches tall, UPC 616983239179.
• 23869: 1:18 scale, approximately 4 inches tall, separate item and package.

Do not substitute the 1:18 figure in a 1:24 scene simply because the character and costume match. The one-inch height difference is substantial in a close vehicle display, and the larger figure can overpower doors, rooflines, workbenches, and other scenery.

Understanding the three-inch 1:24 size

A three-inch figure at 1:24 scale corresponds to a full-size height of approximately six feet. That makes Alexa plausible beside many 1:24 passenger cars, pickups, garages, show barriers, and workshop accessories, while still reflecting American Diorama’s stylized sculpting.

Scale does not guarantee a perfect match with every brand. Different model manufacturers can compress vehicle proportions, ride height, seat position, or wheelbase. Test the figure beside the intended car before building a permanent diorama around the scene.

• Compare the figure’s shoulder height with the vehicle roof.
• Check whether the feet sit flat on the planned surface.
• Leave clearance around the pose and arms.
• Confirm that the figure does not block doors, mirrors, or display-case walls.
• Use the actual three-inch height when ordering fitted scenery.

Static resin figure, not an articulated action figure

Item 23917 is a fixed-pose resin figurine. No movable head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, or knees are identified. Clothing folds, joints, and seams are sculpted details rather than working articulation.

Do not twist the limbs or attempt to change the pose. Cold-cast resin can hold crisp detail but is more brittle than flexible PVC. A thin wrist, ankle, hand, hair section, or accessory can crack if bent.

• Lift the figure around the torso or strongest central area.
• Do not carry it by an arm, hand, hair, or costume detail.
• Do not heat the figure to alter the pose.
• Do not force the feet onto an uneven base.
• Return the figure to its blister tray for transport.

Hand-painted finish and normal variation

American Diorama identifies the figure as hand painted. Small differences in facial paint, trim edges, skin tone, gloss, or uniform details can occur between examples. Ordinary hand-painted variation should be distinguished from chips, rubs, glue marks, or missing paint.

Use the exact product image as a character-and-costume reference, but judge the delivered figure directly. Photograph the face, front, back, both sides, hands, feet, and costume details before discarding the package.

Caring for cold-cast resin

Cold-cast resin should be kept dry, stable, and protected from impact. Routine cleaning requires very little pressure.

• Use a soft artist’s brush or low-pressure blower for dust.
• Avoid alcohol, acetone, adhesive remover, and household spray cleaner.
• Do not soak the figure.
• Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and high heat.
• Do not place it where a rolling model car can strike it.
• Separate it from rough diecast edges during storage.

If a mark needs more than dry dusting, test a barely damp soft cloth on a hidden area first. Never scrub the face or small painted trim.

Building a believable 1:24 scene

Alexa can work in a street-side scene, show-car display, garage entrance, workshop forecourt, traffic-control vignette, or custom collector shelf. The black costume reads clearly against light pavement, bright vehicles, and neutral garage walls.

Use the figure as one visual element rather than forcing the entire diorama around the costume. A believable scene benefits from consistent scale, level footing, sensible sight lines, and enough empty space that the character is not crowded by doors or bumpers.

• Place the figure on a flat, nonabrasive surface.
• Keep the feet fully supported.
• Use museum putty only after testing compatibility on an unseen area.
• Avoid permanent adhesive unless modification is intentional and disclosed.
• Keep the figure away from motorized or free-rolling display vehicles.

Blister-card packaging

The single Alexa figure is individually packed on a blister card approximately four inches wide by 7.5 inches high. The package protects the pose while displaying the character and item identity.

• Inspect the clear blister for cracks, yellowing, dents, and separation.
• Check the card corners, edges, hanging tab, and printed surface.
• Confirm that the figure has not shifted enough to rub the plastic.
• Keep item 23917 and UPC 616983239179 legible.
• Retain the inner tray and card if the figure is displayed loose.

Package condition and figure condition should be recorded separately. A clean figure on a damaged card is not the same condition record as a chipped figure in an intact blister.

Arrival checklist

1. Confirm manufacturer item 23917 / AD23917.
2. Match UPC 616983239179.
3. Verify the Costume Babe Alexa character and black police-style costume.
4. Confirm the 1:24 scale and approximately three-inch height.
5. Count one figure only.
6. Compare the figure and blister with the exact Muncle Mikes image.
7. Inspect the face, hair, costume, hands, feet, and standing pose.
8. Look for chips, cracks, rubs, glue marks, or warped footing.
9. Inspect the blister, card, hanging tab, and barcode.
10. Photograph the package and all sides of the figure.

Who should choose this figure

American Diorama 23917 is a strong fit for 1:24 model-car collectors, garage and street dioramas, car-show scenes, American Diorama character lineups, and builders who want a single black-uniform Alexa without buying the four-piece Costume Babes set. Its exact identity comes from the character, costume, three-inch scale, resin construction, item number, and UPC—not from an invented year, quantity, or rarity claim.

Final identification check

The exact product is American Diorama Costume Babe Alexa, manufacturer item 23917 / AD23917.
