Suitable 28mm crime/cartel boss figure
« on: July 09, 2018, 08:17:33 AM »

I'm looking for a 28mm Crime/drugs cartel boss figure.

 I'm not really familiar with modern ranges, so am wondering what is available?

Any suggestions will be greatly received.

The figure originally had hair, but I removed it for the "King of Clubs" character for the Fearless Lawyer cast, now recast using a Hasslefree figure.
The Insidious Industrialist would work as well.

I think depends on what you are going for SASM is a dead ringer for someone on TV perhaps, for more traditional suited bosses I would echo 7TV , worth looking through their villains. I picked up a good selection for 1970s/1980S Themed modern crime skirmish games
