Hello,

Any idea where I could find 25 or 28mm miniatures of gangsters like GTA game gangs or Thugz miniatures:

And modern policemen like the ones from Tactical miniatures ?

Thanks

Try Foundry's Street Violence range, or Future Wars from Copplestone. EM-4 also do some useful minis.

Copplestone does a group of modern criminals with guns. FW26, Bad guys with guns.

Westwind do modern Police including Motorcycle figures in their new Roadkill range.

Foundry do a pack of six modern Police in their Street Violence range. They also do SWAT chappies too, as does Copplestone I think.

I notice your link only leads to 4 Thugz miniatures. There's 12 in the range.

Moavoamoatu12 Jul 2005 4:27 p.m. PST

Yes, but I think they don't have the others anymore at EM4. I found others on a US website.

if you dont mind vinyl, check out "homies".

If you don't mind plastic, Heroclix have some thugs and "normal" criminals that can be had fairly inexpensively from re-sellers (at less than 0.50 cents per). Just pop'em off their base and remount.

Also, Tactical Miniatures have a range of bad guys in hockey masks, but you can also use some of their other figures as well.

"how big are the Homies figures?"

Too samll to go with Thugz, Foundry, Copplestone or EM4.
Pretty toys, but no good for what you want. Trust me, I have some.

Homies stand about 1.75 inches or 45mm tall.

Great SWAT range via TAG!

Oh. Dear. God.

I play with little metal cowboys, so I guess I can't point fingers… but a 25mm Nelly and 50 Cent?

Good Grief!

————————

On a side note… Two kids played in a Gutshot game back in 2003 and they named their characters Nelly and 50 Cent (they also wound up betraying their fellow outlaws). Anyway, I have noticed in my Website statistics that, for the past year, a significant number of people are coming to my Website while searching Yahoo and Google for some combination of these words "50 Cent Game." I'm guessing there is some kind of rapper game out there…

Perhaps I should release a version of the game called PHAT GUTshot?

*sigh*
No..we are NOT going to release "PHAT GUTshot"….

I'll be taking requests on which item to beat Mitchell with…(rubber hose, cricket bat, 2X4, etc…)

TodCreasey04 Aug 2005 6:10 a.m. PST

The Game is a member if G Unit (50 cents band). They have had a lot of public fights over the last year so I suspect that is where your hits are coming from.
