Neat aren't they? I'd imagine they would be very popular if more people knew about them. Be good for Vice City 1985 style games…

Now, where's me jet-ski?

Picked up the lot at Salute, painted them up – love them. I'm currently trying to persuade Trevor to expand this line with some other factions – Triads, Cartels, Irish Mobs, Lock Stock... types.

And they work so well with Street Violence and KKBB figures, here's my little Yakuza gang.

Do you mean Foundy's Street Violance? Some models are excellent, some are crap, Copplestone's future wars are better. Sizewise they all work well together.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other packs with which this range could be expanded?

I've always found the Dixon Samurai range far too squat and ill-proportioned (I prefer the Perry Bros. & TAG lines, among others), but I do rather like those Yakuza (particularly Bugsda's stellar treatment of them).

Nice work as allways Bugs  :-*
Did you paint the display yakuza for Dixon? they were nice too.

Saw these at Warfare and was very tempted, they are much less chunky compared to other Dixon ranges.

Not that i mind the chunky sculpts, especially since i switched my Parry samurai army for Dixon samurai, much nicer to paint IMHO.

Cheers Rob  :)

I think Adey painted Trevor's Yakuza.

Yeah! Perry Samurai are quite hard to paint, Dixon's are a big, smooth, blank canvas in comparison.

I could paint Dixon Samurai all day long  :-*
