First up, here are the Street Toughs. This pack is themed around guys that like to get up close and personal! A couple of practitioners of the pugilistic arts form the core of the pack:
The other half features a guy carrying his trusty baseball bat ("what officer, I'm a big fan of the Sox!") and a cigarette smoking tough whose cosh can be seen poking out of his pocket:
The Candy Kid's Street Punks pack is a bit more varied - although half is armed for close combat - one with brass knuckles and a knife, the other getting in a bit of batting practice:
The rest of the pack introduces some ranged weaponry into my collection - a fedora-wearing pistol man and a wild-haired shotgunner (shotguns aren't common in this range so I was keen to get this one in particular):
I haven't decided yet how I'll divvy these up amongst the couple of gangs I'm planning - one will be Irish (surprise, surprise) and the other I'll do as a rival Jewish outfit. All the sculpts feature nice period clothing details and characterful faces - the casts were clean with minimal clean-up required.
The one point to note - the slottatabs on the minis (all of them that I got from this range) were too tall for the supplied bases, requiring me to cut them down a little to get them to fit. Not a problem - but it did add some time and faff to what would otherwise have been a quick little prep job.
Looks very cool!
