Does anyone else make ranges compatible with these bad boyz?

Links please. Thanks.

These minis are great. I actually grew up with some of these folks in my early hood years(70s) growing up in Manhattan (uptown112st/eastside). It is not easy being a geek in the hood. Even I had a Fro back then (lucky for me I burned all the photos) :)

Patules,
Very nice! They look like they would work together very well. Thanks.

PapaSync,
LOL. I burned all of mine too. Unfortunately, my wife got a bunch more from my sister. Yikes!

Grenadier did a pack of "Voodoo Boy" gangers in their Cyberpunk line years ago:

Long OOP, but they turn up surprisingly often on Ebay. They are also large minis, very compatible with modern 28mm minis.

That's one UGLY baby in the Megaminis set!

Oh, Flashman14, I'm terribly offended by the racist nature of that link! Or not.

I can definitely second that- the one in the center of the picture is a squad leader in my near/dark-future street gang army (as well as having originally done duty for a few years as my PC in a Cyberpunk game), and even compared to the plastic Catachans serving as elite cannon fodder in the army, he still fits, and in fact stands a shade taller than them. Believably so, mind you- but, even so, in scale, he's probably a good 6' 8" or 6' 9", and I haven't even ground off his base and stuck'im on a slotta yet.

How about something like this "out of Africa" model:

Sounds like Obelisk has a nice range of "Gangstars" ("Las Chicas" and "Da Dowgs"). Any idea if it is compatible to the EM4 Thugz?

Now that I've sold my EM-4 troopers I no longer need to get ghetto personalities, etc..

However, I recently got a chance to see a few of the EM-4 Thugz figures "in the flesh" (unpainted) and, I must say, they are very nice sculps!

For what it's worth, if I was still going with this urban idea, I would have definitely gotten one of each.
